CASIO Introduces New, High-Performance
Data Collection Terminal, the DT-930
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.
