Symbol Technologies introduces digital imager with bar code, imaging and enhanced text reading capabilities

The DS6707 builds on Symbol's legacy of innovation by creating a handheld scanner with a 1.3 Megapixel imager capable of capturing and transferring images up to 8.5 x 11 inches (21.59 cm x 27.94 cm). Pharmacies, retailers and manufacturers can use the device to scan bar codes and capture, store and instantly recover documents and images for increased employee productivity and streamlined business operations.

Designed to help reduce capital and operating expenses, the DS6707 digital imager scanner eliminates the need to purchase, manage and support additional devices such as digital cameras, document scanners and separate barcode scanners. The durable DS6707 scanner also features text enhancement technology that sharpens the clarity of scanned text documents, such as prescriptions or shipment labels that often include small print, to automate processes and reduce administrative costs.

'With Symbol's latest digital scanner in hand, customers can use one device for all of their barcode and image capture needs,' said Tarek Hassaniyeh, sales manager, Symbol Technologies Middle East and Africa.

'The new DS6607 offers a versatile tool to support image capture and transfer, enabling customers to roll out current and future applications that can save them time and resources.'

In retail outlets, the device can capture data embedded in a PDF417 code-from a driver's licence, for instance-to automatically populate credit card applications and merchandise credit/return forms which improves productivity and keeps customer lines moving. In stockrooms and back-end retail environments, employees can use the scanner to record damaged shipments.

To help customers protect their investment in the device and maintain peak performance, Symbol Global Services offers Service from the Start Advance Exchange Support for the DS6707. This multi-year service agreement provides next-business-day delivery of a replacement device for maximum uptime. Service from the Start Advance Exchange Support also includes Symbol's unique Comprehensive Coverage, which extends normal wear and tear to cover accidental damage to scan elements, exit windows, and other internal and external components at no extra charge - virtually eliminating unforeseen repair expenses.
