Performance That You Expect From PSC

The QS2500 Handheld Linear Imager Barcode Reader, the newest member of the QuickScan® family, is ideal for retail, office, and light-industrial applications. The QS2500’s 200 scans-per-second linear imager scan engine provides snappy reading performance and an extended depth-of-field. And the QS2500 also reads poorly printed bar code labels quickly and easily.

Loaded with Features for Today and Tomorrow

The QS2500 Barcode Reader is capable of reading a wide range of bar code symbologies, including Reduced Space Symbology (RSS) and PDF417, allowing you flexibility in reading now and in the future. It also features programming and label editing, along with flash memory for easy software upgrades. Its enclosure is lightweight and ergonomic, and a hands-free tabletop stand is available.

Outstanding Durability and Reliability

The QS2500’s Linear Imager scan engine has no moving parts and will read reliably for years to come. It withstands 5 ft. / 1.5 m drops to concrete and has an IP42 sealing rating to protect it in most indoor applications. In addition, the QS2500 utilizes the same high-quality interface cables shared by other PSC handhelds, including the rugged PowerScan™ industrial handheld scanner. And the QS2500 is backed by PSC’s three-year factory warranty on the scanner and a one-year warranty on PSC interface cables.
