Sept. 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Symbol Technologies, Inc.
(NYSE:SBL), The Enterprise Mobility Company(TM), today introduced
the DS6707 handheld digital imager scanner designed for bar code
scanning and image capture in a multitude of environments. The
DS6707 builds on Symbol's legacy of innovation by creating a
handheld scanner with a 1.3 Megapixel imager capable of capturing
and transferring images up to 8.5 x 11 inches (21.59 cm x 27.94
cm). Pharmacies, retailers and manufacturers can use the device to
scan bar codes and capture, store and instantly recover documents
and images for increased employee productivity and streamlined
business operations. (Logo:

to help reduce capital and operating expenses, the DS6707 digital
imager scanner eliminates the need to purchase, manage and support
additional devices such as digital cameras, document scanners and
separate barcode scanners for varying symbologies. Whether the
customer needs to read one-dimensional (1D), two-dimensional (2D),
PDF417 or postal codes, the Symbol DS6707 scanner maximizes
employee productivity with omni-directional data capture
capabilities. The durable DS6707 scanner also features text
enhancement technology that sharpens the clarity of scanned text
documents, such as prescriptions or shipment labels that often
include small print, to automate processes and reduce
administrative costs. "With Symbol's latest digital scanner in
hand, customers can use one device for all of their barcode and
image capture needs," said Bob Sanders, vice president and general
manager of Symbol's advanced data capture division. "The new DS6707
offers a versatile tool to support image capture and transfer for
flexibility in enabling customers to roll out current and future
applications that can save them time and resources." In retail
outlets, the device can capture data embedded in a PDF417 code-from
a United States driver's license, for instance-to automatically
populate credit card applications and merchandise credit/return
forms which improves productivity and keeps customer lines moving.
In stockrooms and back-end retail environments, employees can use
the scanner to record damaged shipments. To help customers protect
their investment in the device and maintain peak performance,
Symbol Global Services offers Service from the Start Advance
Exchange Support for the DS6707. This multi-year service agreement
provides next-business-day delivery of a replacement device for
maximum uptime. Service from the Start Advance Exchange Support
also includes Symbol's unique Comprehensive Coverage, which extends
normal wear and tear to cover accidental damage to scan elements,
exit windows, and other internal and external components at no
extra charge -- virtually eliminating unforeseen repair expenses.
The Symbol DS6707 digital imager scanner has a list price of $389
and is available to order globally through Symbol partners. About
