Marketing Information

Direct Part Marking (DPM) is a process that allows users to imprint a bar code directly on an item instead of printing the code on a paper label. Different technologies are available to directly mark objects: laser / chemical etching, dot peening and ink jet printing. Each of these methods has specific advantages and disadvantages in terms of durability, cost and ease of reading.

The PowerScan™ PD9530-DPM reader is a rugged handheld area imager specifically addressed and capable of reading codes marked with DPM.
