LaserLite Mx is an exceptional high-performance data collector that offers a multitude of features. It combines laser bar code reading and Touch Memory button reading with an alphanumeric keypad. The ergonomic design provides one-handed operation for right or left-handed users, with a direct line of sight from the display to the laser beam to the bar code.

The internal memory of LaserLite Mx consists of 128K flash ROM and 256K battery-backed RAM.

LaserLite Mx features a small external memory card known as a Solid State Floppy Disk Card, SSFDC, which adds 2MB, 4MB, or 8MB of memory. The enhanced memory and dual microprocessors allow for extensive searches, match inquiries, large cross-reference files, and multi-tasking capabilities.

LaserLite Mx's lightweight extruded and cast aluminum housing, with an industrial strength powder-coat finish, provides unbeatable durability!

Long-Lasting Power - This Battery System Is Terrific!

LaserLite Mx ships with four standard AA alkaline batteries that provide up to 2400 mAh of power capacity. Most importantly, the power system is based on a 3-volt instead of the 5-volt system found in other portables. This 3-volt system consumes power at a much slower rate; in fact, LaserLite Mx reads up to 100,000 bar codes or 300,000 memory buttons from one set of batteries!

It is easy to view battery status from the LCD display, and a lithium back-up battery protects your program and data while replacing batteries. If you prefer, LaserLite Mx can also be used with rechargeable NiCad or NiMH batteries.

Downloading Your Data

You have two ways to transmit data, either with a base station or an infrared (IR) transceiver.

The LaserLite Mx base station can be used alone or linked together for multiple downloading of up to 10 readers. The base station may be connected directly to a computer or to a modem for data transfer from a remote location. Both remote and host-initiated modem communication are supported. The base station also serves as a recharger for those who choose to install NiCad or NiMH batteries.

Your data can also be transmitted to an IR transceiver built into your computer or printer, or to an external IR transceiver that connects to your PC serial port.

Touch Memory Technology

Touch Memory buttons are used when durability, tamper-resistance, and simplicity are required. A Touch Memory button is a memory chip sealed inside a dime-sized stainless steel canister, and comes in read and read/write varieties. Each memory chip contains a pre-programmed 12-digit identification number that can be cross-referenced to a person, place, item, or activity.

Simply touch a button with the LaserLite Mx to record the button's ID number, and the time and date of the transaction.

Application Builder™ Software

Application Builder takes the complexity out of programming and allows you to quickly put LaserLite Mx to work. The package includes a graphical interface that allows you to draw the steps of your application and select the attributes you want for each step. Once your steps are created, a Properties window allows you to assign specific information about each step.

Also included is a complete set of developer's tools for custom programming. This one Application Builder software package can be used for LaserLite Pro, LaserLite Mx, LaserLite, and DuraTrax.
