Improved scanning of narrow (low height) barcodes

Improved scanning of narrow (low height) barcodes

Even with low height barcodes, scanning operability has been improved with automated scanning of the area around the guide marker.

Batch scanning of 2-row barcodes

Batch scanning of 2-row barcodes

Work efficiency has been improved by enabling the batch scanning of 2-row barcodes.

Improved scanning for faded or dirty barcodes

かすれ、汚れたバーコードの読み取り性能を向上

A scanning algorithm that is resistant to faded or dirty barcodes has been developed to bring further improvements to scanning performance for poorly-printed barcodes.

Support for GS1 DataBar scanning

As well as conventional barcodes, GS1 DataBar scanning is also supported.

Built-in BHT Photo color image scanning function (Optional function)

Size and image quality can be selected from three types depending on the intended use. Up to nine patterns for saving files can be selected.

Key layout that is conducive to work use

Key layout that is conducive to work use

  • The M1, M2, ENT and BS/C keys are placed where they can be easily pressed.
  • Settings to adjust the volume level or switch the vibrating function ON or OFF can be called up with ease using the MENU key.
  • The resin key tops have a high-grade feel and offer superior durability, eliminating worries over keys falling out or worn-off key labels.

Fitted with the latest color LCD

Fitted with the latest color LCD

  • Built-in high-resolution color QVGA LCD achieves outstanding readability.
  • Improved work efficiency with the color display of warning indicators and important items.
  • Enables a host of character display options, including reverse-highlighting, fold type and double-sized characters.
  • A variety of character sizes from small to large can be selected, delivering clearly-rendered characters.

High-level shock resistance

High-level shock resistance

Achieves a high level of drop resistance (to a concrete surface from 1.5m) to meet the demands of actual operation using the technology we’ve acquired as a pioneer in barcode handy terminals.

Superior environmental resistance

Superior environmental resistance

Achieves an IEC international standard protection rating of IP54 (equivalent to the JIS Splash Proof rating), which keeps dust and water from entering.

Built-in high capacity memory and support for high-speed communications

  • Equipped with a high capacity of up to 16 MB of memory (8 MB for the BHT-503B), which allows over 100,000 records (100 bytes per record) to be registered in the case of master data.
  • A high-speed communication mode is equipped as standard, allowing large master data files to be sent quickly. The file compression function speeds up execution speed even more!
  • A 1 MB master file (approx. 430 KB after compression) could be transferred in approximately 15 seconds.
