Wireless Workforce Solution: Hand Held Products Launches 4600r 2D Retail Imager

New 2D Imager provides high-performance presentation scanning and enables advanced, imaging-based POS applications

Hand Held Products, Inc., the worldwide leader in handheld imaging solutions, announced today the launch of the 4600r Retail 2D Imager, designed for high performance point-of-service (POS) scanning with the capability to read 2D bar codes and capture digital images.

Powered by Adaptus Imaging Technology 5.0, the 4600r combines omni-directional reading, advanced illumination and Streaming Presentation™ mode technology to provide true fly-by and presentation scanning performance - a first for any 2D imager.

The 4600r empowers retailers with new capabilities at the POS by combining high-performance linear bar code reading with 2D reading capability enabling advanced profit- and productivity-enhancing functions including:

• Drivers' license reading for auto-populating electronic forms with customer information or verifying age and identity for the sale of controlled goods
• Digital signature capture
• Capturing digital images of paper documents, such as pharmacy prescription scripts, for paperless workflow and simplified storage and retrieval

"The 4600r is a breakthrough 2D imager product, building on Hand Held Product's 5th generation imaging technology. It addresses the requirements of today's fast-paced retail environments and enables new applications that add tremendous value to a company's operations," said Larry Ramsey-Macomber, Senior Product Manager, Hand Held Products. "Even if a customer deploys the 4600r today purely for its high-performance linear scanning capabilities, they'll have the on-demand flexibility to use it for any number of advanced 2D or image capture applications when they're ready to do so. Simply put, we're empowering retailers to do more with a single solution - greatly enhancing their return on investment."

In addition to its advanced data capture capabilities, the 4600r also features Host Download functionality, giving businesses the ability to centrally manage and update all of the scanners in their enterprise through their host system - eliminating the need for IT staff to perform manual updates on each device. Like all Hand Held Products scanning solutions, the 4600r is built to last with no internal moving parts, and features a 5-year warranty.
