Digimarc Barcode digital watermark reading capability sets the Datalogic PD9531-BK-RTK20 apart within the PowerScan Retail PD9531 family, delivering that feature alongside full 1D and 2D area imager scanning in a corded, handheld form factor. The kit pairs the PD9531-BK-RT scanner with a CAB-434 cable and connects via USB, Serial, or Keyboard Wedge interfaces. Symbology coverage spans all standard 1D codes including GS1 DataBar linear, plus 2D formats -- Aztec Code, China Han Xin Code, Data Matrix, MaxiCode, Micro QR Code and QR Code -- as well as stacked codes including PDF417, MicroPDF417 and MacroPDF, and nine postal code formats. An IP65 rating guards against moisture exposure, supporting reliable POS checkout operation under repeated mechanical shock. The black chassis weighs 11.64 oz and measures 8.3 in tall, 2.9 in wide and 4.3 in deep.
