Hand Held Products 3800LX User manual

The 3800LX is a longer range, high performance,
handheld bar code scanner. The 3800LX uses linear
imaging technology to match the reading distance of
standard range lasers with a bright, sharp aiming line.
In addition, the 3800LX offers high resolution imaging
to deliver exceptional reading performance.
The 3800LX handle is smoothly contoured to fit all
sized hands, plus has a soft grip area to add comfort
and prevent slipping. Its aesthetically pleasing look
surrounds a rugged, durable construction, built for
demanding work environments. The 3800LX is so
durable, it carries a 5 year warranty.
The 3800LX is excellent in handheld scanning
applications, such as retail point of sale and in-store
inventory. It operates from a tabletop holder in
manual trigger mode, or may be placed in an
adjustable stand for automated operation. The
3800LX can be used indoors or outside in bright
sunlight. Typical applications are retail point-of-sale,
in-store inventory, document management, transac-
tion processing of bar coded receipts, payment
counter, and outdoor sales kiosks.
