HHP Launches Commercial/Retail Area Imager

HHP, Inc. introduces its new IMAGETEAM 4600 Commercial /Retail Area Imager powered by HHP's Adaptus Imaging Technology setting a new standard for customer value. The IT4600 combines superior versatility of area imaging with the speed and cost of linear scanning for retail and commercial applications.

HHP's IT4600 includes two models, the IT4600PDF and the IT4600 2D. Both models provide omni-directional (point and shoot) reading of linear and PDF 417 bar codes and capture images while the IT4600 2D has the ability to read 2D matrix codes, postal codes and OCR fonts A and B.

"In today’s retail and commercial worlds, applications may involve more than linear bar codes," stated John Izzo, Product Manager for HHP. "Grocery and pharmacies are beginning to see UCC-EAN composite codes that provide additional product information, PDF417 codes are widely used for age verification of restricted sales items, postal systems around the world have developed unique bar codes to aid their sorting capabilities." The IT4600’s omni-directional reading capability allows fast and easy reading for all these codes. All you need to do is "point and shoot".

Whether capturing a signature as proof of delivery, or taking a picture for identification or electronic data storage, imaging is part of many current and future solutions. "HHP's fourth generation area imager enables all the capabilities of area imaging without sacrificing linear reader speed. And, it provides leading class versatility and speed at linear reader prices, making it uniquely suited to the cost conscience retail and commercial market segments and their growing application demands," said John Izzo.

HHP image reader designs have changed the rules for bar code reader durability expectations. HHP area imagiing is durable because there are no moving parts to wear out or adjust. Full perimeter bumpers absorb the shock from drops up to 6 feet to concrete. The IT 4600 GE LEXAN housing is the same material used in motorcycle helmets and bulletproof glass. The reliability of the IT4600 assures reductions in downtime, resulting in steady performance day in and day out. It's possible the IT4600 products may never fail in their class leading 3-year warranty period significantly improving the total cost of ownership.
