The QuickScan reader series is Datalogic Scanning's value line of general purpose handheld data collection products. The Datalogic QuickScan I QD2100 linear imaging reader is an entry level product that is perfect for use in retail and office environments plus activities associated with couriers and postal services.

The Datalogic QD2100 is small, lightweight and its ergonomic design is comfortable to use during daily operations. It offers snappy reading performance especially on hard to read bar codes and is capable of reading a wide range of symbologies including the majority of 1D codes plus GS1 DataBar^TM linear codes. The QD2100 reader features Datalogic's exclusive patented ‘Green Spot' for good read feedback directly on the code. When in Stand Mode, the Green Spot remains on to show the operator where to position the code for quick and intuitive reading.

Like the QuickScan L reader, the QD2100 has been designed with durability in mind. One of the most vulnerable features of any scanner is damage to the scan window. When such incidents happen, the scanner may have to be replaced. The QD2100 was specifically designed so that a replacement window pack can be ordered to replace damaged or scratched windows without having to send the scanner away for repairs. This helps to reduce the total cost of ownership during the life of the scanner and helps to ensure that it is always available for use.

The QD2100 is available with two multi-interface options: RS-232 / IBM 46XX / USB and RS-232 / USB / Keyboard Wedge / Wand and includes various packaging options so that it can be ordered as the scanner only or as a kit equipped with a scanner, cable and stand to facilitate hand-free reading options. The Datalogic Aladdin^TM configuration program provides user-friendly features that simplify the start-up procedure, even for inexperienced users.

An imager is a Barcode Scanner that really functions more like a digital camera than a laser scanner, and is capable of reading two-dimensional symbologies. Rather than bouncing one or several beams of intense light off of a barcode, the imager bounces a burst of light off of the barcode and back into a camera-like eye, essentially taking a picture. Unlike a laser scanner the imager does not need the barcode to be oriented in anyway (other than within the scan area) in order to be legible.
