Hand Held Products, Inc., the global leader in image-based linear and 2D data collection solutions, has integrated its Adaptus(TM) Imaging Technology 5.0 into its IT4600 handheld scanner portfolio. Integration of the technology in the company's other 2D handheld imagers, such as the IT4800 and IT4620, is planned for Q4 2005.

The integration of the Adaptus Imaging Technology 5.0 will not add to the price of the devices, while offering the following enhancements:

o Greater reading range on linear and 2D bar codes

o Increased motion tolerance, guaranteeing quick reads in a wide range of applications

o Improved low light reading

o More versatility and usability, especially in logistical applications

o Faster read rate delivers linear imager-like performance on all bar codes

o Increased image resolution - greater image quality for image capture applications & improved reading of wide bar codes

"End users are demanding enhanced functionality and solutions to make operations more efficient. The ability to read any linear or 2D bar code today - as well as capture digital images - all with one device, is an extremely valuable proposition," said Lee Ann Capogrossi, senior product manager at Hand Held Products. "By integrating Adaptus 5.0 into the IT4600, we're providing users with a device that is not only extremely versatile, but easy to use as well."

With no moving parts and best in class durability, the IT4600 is the perfect solution for demanding data collection applications found in retail, healthcare, government, logistics and postal.
