TOKYO, June 12, 2006 — CASIO COMPUTER CO., LTD., announced
today the release of the new DT-930 data collection terminal.
The DT-930 features improved barcode scanning, is dust and
water-splash proof, and is built to withstand strong impacts.
It also comes with Bluetooth for connectivity with portable
printers.
The DT-930 is the successor to CASIO’s popular DT-900,
a data collection terminal that has satisfied customers
around the world since its release in 1998. The new DT-930
inherits the great reputation of the DT-900 as one of the
best electronic control and monitor devices for receiving,
pick-up and shipping of goods in the transportation and
logistics industry, and for inventory control and restock
ordering in the retail industry.
Rolling out the new, improved DT-930 is simple thanks to
its great hardware and software compatibility with the existing
DT-900. Users, many of whom complimented the DT-900 for
its slim grip, will be even more pleased by the redesigned
body that makes the DT-930 easier to hold and operate. The
new laser scanner delivers 20% higher resolution and enhanced
scanning performance. Further, the DT-930 is tougher than
its forerunner. It is durable under impact from drops up
to 1.8 meters in height, meets IP54 level dust and water-splash
protection, and also operates in temperatures down to –20
?C. It also comes with Bluetooth to deliver wireless connectivity
with portable printers. The DT-930 provides exceptional
all-around efficiency and productivity for a variety of
scanning-based vertical applications.
The DT-930 complies with the European Union’s RoHS
directive. |
