INTRODUCTION
ABOUT THE READER
The QuickScan
TM
QD2590 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.
Providing the quickest response to the operator for its class of products, the QD2590
scanner is able to capture whatever barcode, hard-to-read, poor or damaged. It easily
scans from mobile devices and through plexiglass barriers. Lightweight and easy to han-
dle also for female users, it is a reliable and seamless companion throughout the whole
shift.
The QD2590 scanner features a precise aiming system developed with the unique intent
to reduce visual stress of the operator during the daily scanning activities. The outstand-
ing aimer consists of two blue LED triangles pointing at the targeted bar code. The
Green Spot confirms the good read, being perfectly centered on the barcode and
between the two triangles.
Very responsive at the pull of the trigger, the QuickScan QD2590 provides a superior
robustness for its class of products, thanks to an accurate design and quality of parts,
right there where the product is mostly stressed.
Perfect for manual reading, the QuickScan QD2590 uses Datalogic's Motionix ™ motion
detection technology that detects the operator's natural actions to automatically switch
the scanner into “ready to read” scan mode. The product range is wide, with two colors
– black and white – and a variety of different stands, holders and accessories to provide
the best fit for each working environment.
USING THE QUICKSCAN™ QD2590 READER
To read a symbol or capture an image, simply aim the reader and pull the trigger. The
QuickScan™ QD2590 is a powerful omni-directional reader, so the orientation of the
symbol is not important. Datalogic's unique 'Green Spot' for good-read feedback helps
to improve productivity in noisy environments or in situations where silence is required.
When positioning the product into the stand, the magnetic coupling will make the
reader automatically detect a bar code inside the field of view, and switch the reading
system from trigger mode to autosense mode.
The QuickScan™ QD2590 reliably decodes all standard 1D (linear) and 2D bar codes,
including GS1 DataBar™ linear codes, Postal Codes (China Post), Stacked Codes (such as
GS1 DataBar Expanded Stacked, GS1 DataBar Stacked, GS1 DataBar, Stacked Omnidirec-
tional). The data stream - acquired from decoding a symbol - is rapidly sent to the host.
The reader is immediately available to read another symbol.
