Pocketable Productivity for People on the Move
Symbol Technologies has maximized efficiency, functionality and
productivity in a new pocket-sized Palm Powered™
device—the SPT1550 . Equipped with the latest processing technology
and features, the SPT1550 is a powerful productivity tool, enabling
users to capture and manage data faster and easier than ever.
Superior Features for Maximum Performance
The SPT1550 is 100% compatible with Palm OS® hardware
and software and offers mobile professionals significant advantages
with benefits in data capture, information access and computing
power. The SPT1550 features an integrated scan engine and
conveniently placed scan triggers, enabling fast, efficient, and
accurate data capture. This is the smallest, lightest, and
brightest engine available today, enabling the SPT1550 to deliver
premium performance bar code scanning.
The SPT1550 comes with a generous 8 MB of RAM and 4 MB of ROM,
for application or data storage needs, and its 33MHz processor
allows applications to run at peak speeds, keeping pace with
business demands. With its touch-based graphical interface,
push-button controls, and backlit 160 x 160-pixel display, the
SPT1550 is easy to use, even outdoors or in dimly lit spaces. Two
AAA batteries deliver hours of power, or an optional rechargeable
NiMH battery kit is available. The SPT1550 supports both single and
multi-slot cradles for flexible host communications in most network
and user environments.
The Point of Activity Advantage
The SPT1550 is designed for convenient operation in the office
or on the road. Its ease-of-use and functionality lend themselves
to applications in a host of industries.
Salespeople can enter customer information, scan items from a
bar-coded catalog and check downloaded price lists, enabling more
time to sell and less time doing paperwork. With its laser scanning
capability, the SPT1550 can also help increase efficiency in the
office, streamlining processes such as office supply ordering.
Medical professionals can take advantage of the SPT1550 's
mobility, using the device for patient verification, bedside drug
administration and a host of applications used hospital-wide.
Teachers and education professionals can use the device to
access and update student records, including daily attendance and
grading. With its easy to use interface, consumers can also enjoy
the benefits of scanning with the SPT1550 . Instead of written
shopping lists, consumers can scan items as they are depleted,
creating an electronic shopping list. This electronic list can be
used on the next shopping trip or uploaded over phone lines to the
local store or e-commerce websites.
Tailor Applications for Your Business
Any business can tailor the adaptable SPT1550 to boost the
productivity of its mobile professionals. Because the device is
based on the Palm platform, programmers can build solutions using
familiar Palm OS® development tools.
The Palm OS Software Development Kit (SDK) includes the Symbol
Application Programming Interfaces (API) for controlling the
scanner and manipulating data input, and trial versions of several
of the most popular Palm development environments. A growing roster
of software companies support the SPT product family with tools for
network and database connectivity.
