How to use

Pair the POWERSCAN PBT9600 with a compatible Bluetooth host according to the host device’s Bluetooth settings. Use the scanner’s imaging mode to capture paper documents by aligning the document within the scanner’s field of view and triggering an image capture. Switch to RFID reading mode when scanning tagged items, presenting the tag within the reader’s effective range. Captured images and tag data are sent to the paired host for processing by the target application or back-office system.

Usage recommendations

For consistent image quality, ensure documents are flat and well lit when capturing; for reliable RFID reads, present tags at typical operating distance and avoid shielding materials. Maintain Bluetooth pairings and keep firmware updated to ensure compatibility with host software and to benefit from performance fixes and feature updates.
