Getting Started
The 3800 is a high performance linear imaging scanner from Hand Held
Products. The 3800 marks a new performance level for handheld scanners.
Linear imaging technology is defined by a bright and sharply focused aiming line,
high resolution imaging, and fast reading speed. The 3800 is comfortable to
hold, easy to use, rugged, and excellent for all general scanning applications.
The 3900 is a fixed mount bar code scanner designed for retail kiosks,
manufacturing WIP tracking, document processing, or other OEM applications.
It is a complete decoded output scanner that is easy to integrate. It
communicates with PCs or host terminals via keyboard wedge or a serial RS-232
interface. The 3900 can be used internally or externally. The housing provides
protection from dust, dirt, and electrostatic discharge.

Typical Applications for the 3900

for retail kiosks. The bright
aiming line and large working
range make scanning easy for
untrained users.
The 3900 mounted in a stand
makes an efficient bar code
document reader; it takes up a
minimum of counter space and
reads and transmits data
quickly.
