LaserLite Pro and LaserLite Mx
LaserLite Pro and LaserLite Mx are exceptional high-performance
portable data collectors manufactured by Videx. They combine laser bar
code scanning and iButton technology in one easy-to-use package.
LaserLite Pro and LaserLite Mx are housed in cast and extruded
aluminum cases that protect the unit and provide superior durability.
Figure 1-1 LaserLite Pro
LaserLite Pro (Figure 1-1) is shipped with application software installed,
so the unit is ready to use straight out of the box. To power up the
LaserLite Pro, slide the lock switch (located at the bottom of the keypad)
ON (away from the lock icon). You can then enter data by keypad (see
pages 9–11), by scanning bar codes (see page 17), or by touching
iButtons (see page 19). To turn the LaserLite Pro off, slide the lock
switch OFF (towards the lock icon).
