1.1.1 F734-E
The F734-E terminal is a lightweight, pocket-sized and fully
programmable terminal, claiming the greatest sales success of the
Datalogic PDC range.

512KB of Flash memory for application programs of large
dimensions, F734-E solves the most complex application needs.
Furthermore, the “overspeed” capability boosts software
performance, thus increasing the operator’s productivity.
Its excellent reading performance allows barcodes to be scanned
up to a distance of 70 cm, while the long life batteries assure a large
autonomy able to cover more than one work shift. The wide backlit
LCD display, with 4 lines and 16 characters, clearly shows much
information while the practical 25-key alphanumeric keyboard
allows data, codes and descriptions to be input very quickly.
Protection against bumps, dust and water are all features that make
F734-E suitable for intensive use even in industrial environments.
By using the optional EasyGen™ Application Generator or the DS
for Formula™ software packages for Windows environment,
developers can easily customize applications according to the end
user specific needs.
The most common data collection applications such as inventory,
picking and shipping/receiving, especially in the Retail market, are
easy to perform thanks to the F734-E features. Nevertheless, the
F734-E, thanks to the best price/performance ratio of its category, is
considered the ideal solution of many applications even in
Transportation & Logistics and Manufacturing markets.
