Topgun Scanning barcodes on flat, curved, or irregular surfaces at distances from 2.5 to 36.0"/6.0 to 91.0 cm is easy with Topgun . Its rugged one-handed design gives you durability, reliable performance, and freedom of movement, even in the most demanding industrial work environments. Topgun consists of a PT2000® portable data collection terminal integrated with a Topgun laser module. Weighing 16 oz./480 g, including three AA batteries, Topgun is lightweight and easy to use. It operates like any other handheld laser – just aim it and pull the trigger.

Topgun 's balanced, ergonomic design quickly adapts for either right-or left-handed use. The unique modular construction of the Topgun laser module allows you to upgrade your existing PT2000® in seconds! LEDs located on the back of the scan head indicate laser activation and good reads. An audible tone also indicates scanning success.

Topgun is a cost-effective integrated laser scanning solution. It provides all the features of the PT2000® and the convenience of one-handed, portable scanning combined with the speed and accuracy of laser input. Add the PT Dock for data transfer and battery recharging and you have the answer to all your portable needs.

PT Dock Designed specifically for use with the PT2000® or Topgun , the PT Dock provides a connection between your PSC portable and your computer without sacrificing the convenience of portability.

The PT Dock allows you to transmit data to and from your host system, using serial or keyboard wedge communications. The PT Dock also recharges your NiCad battery pack and lithium backup battery with the dock power supply.
