Quick Reference Guide 1
PowerScan™ PBT9501-AR
Description
The PowerScan™ PBT9501-AR reader is a feature-rich and 
rugged area imager scanner with auto range reading 
capability, due to the implementation of autofocus sys-
tem.
General Features
Omni-directional 
Operating
To read a symbol, you simply aim the reader 
and pull the trigger. Since the PowerScan™ 
PBT9501-AR is a powerful omni-directional 
reader, the orientation of the symbol is not 
important.
Decoding
Thanks to powerful algorithms, PowerScan™ 
PBT9501-AR reliably decodes all major 1D 
(linear) barcodes, 2D stacked codes (such as 
PDF417), 2D matrix symbols (such as DataMa-
trix), postal codes (such as POSTNET, PLANET). 
The data stream — acquired from decoding a 
symbol — is rapidly sent to the host. The 
reader is immediately available to read 
another symbol.
Formatting and 
Concatenating
The string of a decoded code may be pro-
cessed according to either a simple or 
advanced data formatting and be concate-
nated.
