Introduction
The Model 3000 Portable Bar Code Reader combines numerous features in a single, versatile unit.
The added productivity you get by using bar code technology can now be multiplied across a wide
array of applications. You can check current inventory in the stockroom, and track product sales
at the register. The unit can operate on a real-time network or multi-user system, and also transmit
transaction files by modem to your host computer. You do all this by configuring the M3000 in
one of the following modes:
• Portable Mode
• Non Portable Modes: Keyboard wedge, Serial wedge, and RS-232 Serial
In addition to these operating modes the M3000 features six built-in, ready-to-use programs, a
calculator function, and a real-time clock that displays date and time information. The M3000
features 64K of memory that is enhanced by data compression so that the apparent memory
available to the unit is 128K. The M3000 is fully programmable. The unit comes with a built-in
program generator that allows you to easily create custom programs. Simply enter the prompts
and data requirements and the M3000 creates the program for you. The programs you create can
be easily transferred to and from a personal computer.
Enhanced features include:
• Lookup tables
• Importing ASCII Lookup Files and Data files
• RS-232 Serial Input
• Transmit Pause
• Header and File Name Output Options
• Start & End of Transmit Text

You can scan virtually all industry standard bar code symbologies using wands, CCD scanners, 5-

RS-232 Serial Port.
