1. Introduction
The ScanPall2is a high performance, light-weight and compact portable terminal,
designed for daily intensive use.
It is powered by two ‘AAA’ replaceable batteries or one Ni-MH rechargeable
battery and is equipped with a comprehensive set of development tools, including
a Windows based application generator, a "BASIC" compiler and a "C" compiler.
It is provided with an FSTN technology LCD graphics screen, with a resolution of
128x64 pixels, equipped with backlighting and a contrast control enabling it to be
read perfectly, whatever the ambient lighting.
Its CCD scanner and integrated RS-232 and IrDA communication ports make the
ScanPall2ideal for inventory, stock control, document monitoring,factory floor
management, asset tracking, warehousing and distribution operations.
