QUICKSCAN™ 2500 ABOUT THE SCANNER The QuickScan™ 2500 product series represents the hand- held entry level corded scanner by Datalogic. It has been specifically created for small to medium size Retailers, such as groceries and convenience stores, operating in both food and non-food sectors.
The QuickScan™ QD2500 and QW2500 are powerful omni-directional readers, so the orientation of the symbol is not important. Datalogic's 'Green Spot' for good-read feedback helps to improve pro- ductivity in noisy environments or in situations where silence is required.
About the Scanner Hands Free Stand/Holder An accessory is available which holds the reader (except those with integrated stand) at a convenient angle, allow- ing hands free scanning of items. It can also be used as a holder. The QuickScan™ QD2500 reader automatically recognizes the insertion and changes its Scan Mode to allow the user to operate in hands-free mode.
About the Scanner End-Cap Cover NOTE: For QuickScan™ QD2500, to use the Stand Autosense™ (STD-AUTO-QD25-xx) it is manda- tory to remove the End-cap. See the paragraph below. End-cap cover disassembly procedure 1. Using a small screwdriver or a similar tool pull out the End-Cap from the scanner plastic enclosure.
