Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum scanning range of the Datalogic PM9501?
The PM9501 can read barcodes from contact distance to over 1.0 meter (3.3 feet), depending on the barcode resolution and print quality. For example, 40-mil barcodes can be read from 4.0 to 85.0 cm, while smaller 4-mil codes have a range of 6.0 to 17.0 cm. This extended range makes it ideal for warehouse applications where operators need flexibility in scanning distance.
Does the PM9501 read both 1D and 2D barcodes?
Yes, the PM9501 is capable of reading any kind of barcode regardless of orientation, including both 1D and 2D codes such as Data Matrix and PDF417. The scanner features omnidirectional reading capabilities with a 360° roll tolerance, so operators can scan codes at virtually any angle without repositioning.
What wireless technology does the PM9501 use?
The PM9501 uses Datalogic's STAR Cordless System with 433 MHz narrow-band radio communications, which was specifically designed to maximize efficiency and reliability for handheld scanner data collection. This technology provides excellent radio range and versatility for warehouse and logistics environments.
What display and keypad options are available on the PM9501?
The PM9501 offers two configuration options: a model with 4 configurable keys for basic operations, and a full 16-key keyboard model for more complex two-way communication with your host system. The keyboard option allows operators to input data directly and receive information back from the host for more reliable communications.
Is the PM9501 suitable for high-volume scanning environments?
Yes, the PM9501 is designed for scan-intensive applications with a motion tolerance of 90 cm per second and Datalogic's soft-pulsed white illumination that reduces eye strain during extended use. The cordless design and removable battery configuration make it well-suited for warehouse and logistics operations requiring continuous scanning throughout the workday.
What connectivity options does the PM9501 base station support?
The BC9180 base/charger included in this kit supports both Standard Ethernet and Industrial Ethernet protocols including Ethernet IP and Modbus, providing flexibility to integrate with various warehouse management and inventory systems.
