Introducing the Casio DT-X200 range of handheld terminals, which set a new performance standard born of the fusion of strength and speed.
At a glance
High-speed laser scanner for extremely high reading performance
It sets new standards in terms of robustness and ergonomics: the impact-resistant Blanview® LCD with scratch-resistant touchscreen is about ten times more robust than normal displays. This makes the CASIO DT-X200 the perfect handheld device for industry, logistics and the retail sector. The device is comfortable to hold and the three practical trigger buttons minimise the amount of finger movement. Depending on the model, the high-speed scanner or imager can instantly read and decode several codes simultaneously — even damaged ones. Integrated RFID/NFC functionality (optional).
Features:
Lightweight, non-slip and robust
The CASIO DT-X200 has been ergonomically designed and is extremely resistant to external influences. Its lightweight housing is manufactured from a very durable plastic and can withstand drops onto concrete from a height of 3 m. The balanced design and the non-slip surface on the bottom of the device allow it to be operated easily and effortlessly.
Highest level of protection against dust and splash water
The device also offers optimum protection against dust and water penetration according to the IP67 protection class and is fully functional at temperatures between -20°C and +50°C. Come rain or shine—or even at extremely cold temperatures—the CASIO DT-X200 has the ideal features to prove its worth in the long-term when used in tough working conditions.
High-speed scanner or CMOS imager
The application determines whether or not a laser scanner for barcodes or an imager for common 2D codes is required. Both reading modules are extremely high-performance. They can read and decode multiple codes—even damaged codes—simultaneously at lightning speed. Good or bad reads are confirmed optically, acoustically and with vibration. This is useful in a noisy environment. Thanks to the increased range, the imager model and the All-Range model have a clear laser aiming point.
Easy to handle, with three conveniently placed scanning buttons
On both the scanner and the imager, the scanning head is angled downwards in order to make it even easier to operate the device. By angling the scanner in this way, the device is more comfortable to hold. It allows the user to see the display during the scanning process. Three trigger buttons minimise the amount of finger movement.
Integrated RFID/NFC functionality
Optionally the CASIO DT-X200 is equipped with an RFID module that weighs a mere 5 g. This module consumes very little energy and does not impair the long battery life of the device. When it comes to contactless smart cards and Near Field Communication (NFC) or RFID transponders, this device supports the established protocols and standards (13.56 MHz).
Scratch-resistant touch screen on impact-resistant display
Whether used for softkey operation, signature capture or submitted to accidental knocks, the Blanview® LCD is around ten times more robust than a normal display. The combination of powerful hardware and an extremely robust construction means that the device represents a secure investment over many years and is suitable for a great number of applications.
Ideal for industrial applications
The CASIO DT-X200 is equipped with a Marvell® PXA 320 processor (806 MHz) and plenty of memory. The operating system of the unit is Microsoft® Windows® Compact 7. It is extremely easy to integrate the mobile devices into existing applications and standard solutions. Bluetooth® (2.1) and WLAN (IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n) are integrated for fast data communication.
A body shape optimized by human-centered design and a rugged reinforced structure that can withstand drops from a height of up to 3.0 meters ensure the durability and usability necessary for use in extreme environments. A high-performance CPU greatly increases processing speed
TOUGHNESS - Built to withstand use in demanding environments
Unique Reinforced Structure
Strength has been increased by integrating the LCD, main circuit board, and inner case in a robust, three-layer structure. In addition, the upper and lower cases feature an improved design to provide impact resistance and prevent twisting or misalignment if a device is dropped. These rugged terminals reflect the pursuit of durability right down to the smallest detail. For example, the entire body, battery cover, and other areas are reinforced with a special impact-absorbing elastomer resin.
Superb Environmental Durability
The DT-X200 range of terminals are designed to withstand hard use in warehouse and other similar environments. The device can resist drops from heights of up to 3.0 meters*1 and can be used with confidence even in situations where rough handling is likely. They are compliant with IP67*2 and can operate even in sub-zero temperatures (down to -20ºC). This results in reliable performance in demanding environments, including outdoors in the rain and in dusty warehouses.
1 Drop-to-concrete resistance: 6 surfaces, 4 corners, 1 cycle. The value is a test value, not a guaranteed value.
2 No ingress of dust. No ingress of water even if temporarily immersed in water under defined conditions of pressure when all covers for connectors, etc. are closed.
Long Operating Time
A unique power-saving design provides extended operation even in applications where a browser connection or other permanent wireless LAN connection is required.
A high-capacity battery pack, and effective power management features such as wireless standby mode* and quick resume, ensure a very long battery life.
A wireless LAN standby low-power state for operating only the functions needed to maintain a wireless LAN connection while shutting down the display and other devices
THE TECHNOLOGY OF TOUGHNESS
Leading-edge technology that supports the further evolution of durability
The area around the LCD is protected by a rubber cover. In addition, the LCD and main circuit board are securely fixed to the middle case to form an integrated component and increase resistance to shocks.
Airtight packing
To prevent water ingress, packing material is inserted between the protruding and recessed areas where the upper and lower cases fit together. Arrangement of packing material perpendicular to the direction of movement of moving parts, such as the battery cover and USB connector cover, ensures stable water resistance
SPEED & SCANNING
Major specification enhancements for high-speed processing, high-speed communications and high-speed reading
High-Performance CPU and Generous Memory Capacity
The DT-X200 terminals are equipped with a Marvell® PXA320 (806 MHz) CPU that delivers high-speed processing. They feature a generous 256 MB of RAM and 512 MB of flash ROM. They have all the power necessary to smoothly and efficiently run demanding applications.
High-Performance Laser Scanner*
The laser scanner offers functions that support efficient scanning, including scan width control, laser focus, and vibrator alert. Furthermore, a scanner module improvement has increased processing speed, and improved the scanning of hard-to-read barcodes.
These high-performance specifications make fast, more accurate scanning possible.
Advanced C-MOS Imager for 1D and 2D Code Reading
The DT-X200 terminals support reading of a wide variety of 1D and 2D code symbologies. Use of the latest module and decoder improves performance on hard-to-read barcodes and increases hand jitter tolerance.
Scanning of hard-to-read codes Hard-to-read barcode images
Improved module and decoder performance have increased accuracy in reading hard-to-read codes, such as lightly printed, faded, blurred, or soiled images.
Increased hand jitter tolerance
Use of a global shutter improves performance in capturing moving objects by a factor of ten or more. The scanner reliably reads images even if jittering occurs.
Full-Range Scanner with Maximum Reading Depth of 20 Meters
Scanning of hard-to-read codes
A built-in full-range scanner with auto focus can read codes*2 up to 20 meters away. This means that a forklift operator can directly scan barcodes on pallets and shipping cartons from the operator’s seat. The scanner is even capable of reading location codes at the top of storage racks from a long distance, enabling the safe performance of product inspections when there is danger from falling objects.
*1 Equipped model: DT-X200-41E
