The FBI Evidence Scanner is designed to be a direct replacement for the Intermec CK3 scanners which have become obsolete with limited software and hardware support.  The new scanner system is based on the latest technology from the barcode industry and it features the Android operating system so the user experience is improved in terms of speed and ease of use.  

Enhanced Security
The FBI Evidence Scanner is equipped with enhanced security features including no radios, no camera, no memory card slot, and no microphone to meet and exceed the most stringent security requirements. Data is securely stored on the scanner as it is scanned then later transferred to the PC.

Transferring Data
The new scanners come with a licensed copy of USB Communicator which is a PC/desktop software utility used for retrieving data from the scanners.  It is a direct replacement for Data 4 Sure.  Information about the USB Communicator software application can be found at its product page.  

Windows Mobile Device Center No Longer Used
The new scanners do not use Windows Mobile Device Center (WMDC) which is obsolete and discontinued by Microsoft.  The new scanners include drivers so they plug and play with Windows PCs.
