A Variety of Expansion Features
USB connector
The terminal is equipped with a USB connector that supports USB host/client. This expands the range of use of handheld terminals by enabling connection with external devices or cradleless connection with a PC.
SD card slot
The terminal comes with an SD card slot (SDHC-compatible) as a standard feature for use in applications such as operation with a high-capacity stored database for backup data or expansion of user memory.
Bluetooth ® 2.0 integrated as a standard feature
Bluetooth ® Ver.2.0 (Class2) is integrated as a standard feature. This makes possible voice communication using wireless headsets.
OUTDOOR
Rugged specifications that support on-site operations
High-Resolution VGA LCD with Excellent Visibility for Outdoor User
The IT-9000 is equipped with a Blanview
®
LCD, a 3.7-inch colour transmissive TFT LCD with an easy-to-operate touch panel.
The display provides excellent visibility indoors and in direct sunlight, and VGA-compatible high resolution (640×480pixels) supports high-definition image display content. In addition, power consumption of the backlight is only about one-third that of semi-transmissive LCDs.
Keyboard Designed and Built for Comfortable Operation
The larger backlit keyboard ensures accurate key operation in a dark environment such as a warehouse. Since the keys are printed on the inside, the markings do not wear off. Numeric keys are used to input numbers and characters.
2.0 Megapixel Camera with Autofocus *
A 2.0 megapixel colour digital camera is integrated in some models of the IT-9000. With its powerful autofocus feature, this camera can capture high quality images for such tasks as identifying damaged goods, document capture and vehicle license number identification. The capturing of digital images can be incorporated seamlessly into the work-flow of the application without the need to use a separate camera or reconcile images and data records from two different devices. The IT-9000 offers excellent potential for solution enhancements and increased efficiency.

Human-Centered Design in the Uncompromising Pursuit of Usability
The IT-9000 reflects human-centered design processes applied in product development in the uncompromising pursuit of ease of use. It is surprisingly compact and light in weight for a fully featured multifunctional handheld terminal with built-in printer. The terminal was designed to be comfortable to hold it for long shifts without fatigue and to provide excellent operability in outdoor environments. The rounded form of the lower part of the device and the 79-mm grip length make the IT-9000 just the right shape and size for a secure grip. The centre of gravity is optimised to fit naturally in anyone’s palm. The result is a device that places little strain on the hand even during long hour operation.
