SPT 1550
Pocketable Productivity for People
on the Move
Symbol Technologies has maximized efficiency, functionality and
productivity in a new pocket-sized Palm Powered
™
device—the
SPT 1550. Equipped with the latest processing technology and
features, the SPT 1550 is a powerful productivity tool, enabling
users to capture and manage data faster and easier than ever.
Superior Features for Maximum Performance
The SPT 1550 is 100% compatible with Palm OS
®
hardware
and software and offers mobile professionals significant advan-
tages with benefits in data capture, information access
and computing power. The SPT 1550 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 SPT 1550
to deliver premium performance bar code scanning.
The SPT 1550 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 SPT 1550 is easy to use, even out-
doors or in dimly lit spaces. Two AAA batteries deliver hours of
power, or an optional rechargeable NiMH battery kit is
available. The SPT 1550 supports both single and multi-slot cra-
dles for flexible host communications in most network and user
environments.
The Point of Activity Advantage
The SPT 1550 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 SPT 1550 can also help increase efficiency
in the office, streamlining processes such as office supply ordering.
Medical professionals can take advantage of the SPT 1550’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 SPT 1550. 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.
