 THE NEW CASIO DT-X10

INDUSTRIAL HANDHELD TERMINAL WITH BUILT-IN C-MOS IMAGER AND

BLUETOOTH™ WIRELESS RUNNING WINDOWS® CE.NET

 

The DT-X10 is equipped with a C-MOS Imager capable of two-dimensional code reading and image capture. Model with Wireless LAN Module Built-in Also Available

 

The DT-X10 will use an Intel®PXA250 Application Processor to achieve maximum performance. To ensure a truly open architecture for the development community the DT-X10 will use the Windows®CE.NET operating system (applications should be tested for compatability).  The C-MOS Imager, which comes standard, enables the user to read OCR and signs on the spot as well as two-dimensional codes/one-dimensional bar codes, and thus meets diversified scanning needs in industries such as transportation, distribution, manufacturing, retail, and healthcare.

 

Bluetooth is also standard, and wireless communications is possible with compatible equipment such as BluetoothÔ label printers and cellular phones (optional and sold separately).  The screen is the new CASIO specific color TFT that has a clear display indoors and out.

Other notable features: dust and water splash proof (compliant with IP54*), shock-resistant for withstanding a fall from up to 1.2m, and they have an operating temperature range of -20° C to 50° C.  The product is well suited for harsh conditions such as extreme heat and moisture.  Plastic material is used for the touch panel to enhance its strength.

*IP5x: While a unit is not protected from dust completely, dust shall not be allowed to enter the unit to impair reasonable operation.

*IPx4: Even if water is splashed on a unit from any direction, it shall not have a harmful impact.

CASIO offers a lineup that includes the PC card slot (TYPE II) model and a model with the Wireless LAN module built-in. The PC card slot model supports Wireless WAN such as the CDMA/GSM/GPRS communication cards. The model with the Wireless LAN module built-in is compliant with IEEE802.11b, and facilitates LAN connections.

CASIO’s handheld terminals with Windows®CE have been widely used in the fields of finance, manufacturing, and healthcare since Casio entered the U.S. market in 1997. With the DT-X10, Casio will actively procure new applications, such as two-dimensional and one-dimensional bar code reading, Wireless WAN support, and links with portable label printers, with the aim of expanding businesses to transportation and distribution industries.

DT-X10 FEATURES

bullet The Intel®PXA250 Application Processor, offers high-speed scanning. Windows®CE.NET has been adopted as the operating system. These features deliver high expandability with versatile interfaces, easy operation using a large screen, pen operation, and advantages in application software development for business by using an open software development environment.

By installing the high-performance C-MOS Imager, it is possible to read not only two-dimensional codes, one-dimensional bar codes but also OCR. Images such as signatures can be captured with ease.
 

bullet The 3.5-inch (240 x 320 dot) new TFT color LCD screen drastically improves outdoor visibility. While external light is diffused and absorbed with conventional transmissive LCDs, it is converted to reflecting light efficiently with the CASIO specific optical film and an easy to read display is achieved indoors and out. In addition, a touch panel is installed to enable easy operation and input.
 
bullet Integrated Bluetooth™ module enables wireless communications with Bluetooth™ equipment.

Casio offers a lineup of two models, giving users a choice to suit their communications environment:
 
bullet
