With the PS 8000, you can easily and reliably track purchasing patterns, suggest order quantities, record future orders and, overall, manage your accounts for better customer service and competitive advantage.
Using the PS 8000, you'll also reduce accounting errors, improve inventory control, increase productivity, and be able to prepare invoices and delivery slips on the spot.
Complete System for a Complete Solution
The PS 8000 Series combines a rugged, high-quality dot matrix printer with an integrated cradle for communications, charging and storage capabilities. It supports two of Symbol's most popular hand-held data terminals:
- The PDT 3100's superior ergonomics, integrated scanning and advanced computing are ideal for applications requiring an optional scanner - for example, scanning bar codes on appliances or vehicles.
- The PDT 3300 is versatile and rugged, withstanding four-foot/1.3-meter drops to concrete, plus it's sealed against dust and wind-blown rain. Its ruggedized design is ideal for the rigors of route delivery applications.
Both portable data terminals feature alphanumeric keypads and a standard DOS operating environment. They connect optically to the PS 8000 printer, a superior approach compared with error-prone mechanical connectors.
Software for the PS 8000 Series is the final component of this total solution. Your local Symbol Value Added Reseller (VAR) is part of Symbol's nationwide network of business partners. They'll provide you with software applications that meet your precise business needs.
Designed for Route Accounting and Field Sales
The PS 8000 Series prints 80 columns at a fast 180 characters per second on up to four-part continuous forms. The compact PS 8000 fits easily into the mobile work environment of cars and truck cabs. The lightest weight product in its class, the PS 8000 can be easily transported to the customer site.
In addition to providing the communications link between terminal and printer, the built-in cradle safely and securely holds the hand-held terminal and keeps it charged. The printer operates as a portable system powered by its own battery, and an optional vehicle adapter allows the user to charge the printer and terminal on the go.

- RS-232 communications port for connecting peripherals
- Heater for operating in cold climates or refrigerated trucks

- Vehicle-powered battery charger to keep your terminals charged
- AC power options for in-office use (both 110 and 220V)
