Casio IT-3000

In addition to genuine ease of use and mobility, the IT-3000 series has been designed to be an all-round solution for vertical applications in all weather conditions, day or night. Meter reading, parking meter control, traffic violation control and many field service or maintenance operations will particularly benefit from the use of such a versatile device since it can significantly reduce human error and improve efficiency in these vertical applications.

An SD memory card slot, PC card slot (TYPE I/II), integrated Bluetooth™ and IrDA come as standard. Data stored in the terminal can be backed up to an SD memory card. Wireless LAN communication is using a Wireless LAN card installed in the PC card slot. The integrated Bluetooth™ module enables wireless communication with a wide range of peripherals such as cellular phone and Bluetooth™ Access-Point. In addition to these industry standard interfaces, an 8-pin serial port (not available on M55E models) and 14-pin serial interface are also available for connection with external devices such as smart card readers.

The built-in thermal printer uses a simple one-step paper-loading method. All that is required is to place a paper roll inside the paper roll holder, pull out 0.787401 inches paper length and then close the cover. This simple method saves time and ensures that the paper is always loaded correctly even when performed in the field. An elastic rubber hand strap is included with the terminal. This hand strap is secured on the back of the and enables users to hold it comfortably, eliminating the need to grip too firmly. This guards against dropping and excessive fatigue during prolonged use.

The IT3000 has been designed and built for rugged reliability. The terminal, including the printer and paper roll holder (with the splash protector), complies with the IP54 rating (the International Standard) for dust and water-splash protection. It can withstand a drop from a height of 3.937 feet to concrete and can operate in temperatures between –4° Fahrenheit and +122° F. The IT-3000’s rugged construction enables it to survive rough handling and give trouble free use over prolonged periods in very tough environments.

The IT-3000 features a 2-way TFT color LCD screen (240 x 320 dots) with improved visibility during outdoor use. Unlike conventional transparent LCDs, the IT3000 ’s screen uses CASIO’s proprietary film  to effectively reflect incoming light that is normally dispersed. The screen display has vivid clarity in both indoor and outdoor environments. The IT-3000 also features a large backlit keyboard. This is automatically controlled by a brightness sensor for optimum visibility irrespective of the lighting conditions.
