Direct Part Marking (DPM) is a process that allows users to imprint a bar code directly on an item instead of printing the code on a paper label. Different technologies are available to directly mark objects: laser / chemical etching, dot peening and ink jet printing. Each of these methods has specific advantages and disadvantages in terms of durability, cost and ease of reading.
The PowerScan™ 9530 is a feature-rich and rugged area
imager reader. It is offered in several different models to
better fit the different needs of each customer.
Features
Omni-directional
Operating: To read a symbol or capture an image, you
simply aim the reader and pull the trigger.
Since the PowerScan™ PD9530 is a powerful
omni-directional reader, the orientation of the
symbol is not important.
Decoding: Thanks to powerful algorithms, PowerScan™
PD9530 reliably decodes all major 1D (linear)
barcodes, 2D stacked codes (such as PDF417),
2D matrix symbols (such as DataMatrix), postal
codes (such as POSTNET, PLANET). The data
stream — acquired from decoding a symbol —
is rapidly sent to the host. The reader is immediately available to read another symbol.
Formatting and
Concatenating: The string of a decoded code may be processed according to either a simple or
advanced data formatting and be concatenated.
Imaging: PowerScan™ PD9530 can also function as a
camera by capturing entire images or image
portions of labels, signatures, and other
items.
Autoscanning: An autoscan command causes the reader to
scan continuously and to monitor the central
zone of its reading area.
Flash Memory: Flash technology allows you to upgrade the
PowerScan™ PD9530 reader as new symbologies are supported or as improved decoding
algorithms become available.
USA Driver License
Parsing: The reader can be set up to select and output
a subset of data elements from USA Driver
License PDF417 barcodes. This feature can be
enabled using either Datalogic Aladdin™ or
the barcodes in the USA Driver License Parsing Quick Reference Guide (QRG), available on
the Datalogic website.
