Important Updates in 2D Scanning Line

- Break-through scanning performance of the 4600r to our complete line of 2D readers – both tethered and cordless.
- 4600rp adjustable presentation stand for hands-free scanning, automatically switches between presentation mode and manual trigger
- 4820: optional specialized optics for reading high-density barcodes
- FIPS 140-2 encryption for cordless scanners - advanced wireless encryption technology
- Chemical resistant housing option for 4820, 4600g - for applications with health safety/sanitary requirements

4800dr Document Reader Available
Our new 4800dr offers a new take on document imaging. Instead of a flatbed page scanner, you can use the 4800dr to digitize hard-copy documents for paperless processing, storage and retrieval. It consists of an imager, stand and tray that work together to capture images of documents up to A4 in size without any adjustments. Check out the product page for more details.

2D Refresh
In late 2006, we launched the 4600r 2D scanner. It featured unparalleled functionality and scanning performance. With tens of thousands of 4600r devices now deployed to the field, we are adding this break-through performance to our complete line of 2D readers.

All 4600g, 4820, 4800i and 4820i handheld 2D image scanners shipped from the Hand Held Products factory after February 19, 2008 will include this breakthrough scanning performance. The benefits of this technology are clear:
- Best in Class Scan Performance
- Quick and Easy Fly-By and Presentation Scanning
- Improved readability of shiny and highly reflective codes
We’ve published the full Product Update Notice on our Partner’s Area, including a more thorough list of benefits.

New Adaptus section is live
Our Adaptus Imaging Technology forms the core of our successful product range. With Adaptus our products can do so much more than just scan barcodes. To tell people exactly what Adaptus can do, and how you can use it in your own situation, we’ve created a special section on our website that talks about all the cool stuff Adaptus is capable of.
We’ve got several great animations that’ll give real world examples of Adaptus technology at work, as well as a whole set of explanatory voice-overs. You can get to the Adaptus area by clicking on the many “Experience Adaptus” buttons & banners we’ve placed throughout the site.
Clicking on the banner below will also take you right to the Adaptus site.
