Wireless LAN communication is possible using a third-party Wireless LAN card installed in the PC card slot. The integrated Bluetooth® module enables wireless communications with a wide range of third-party peripherals.

The built-in thermal printer uses a simple one-step paper-loading method. All that is required is for a user to place a paper roll inside the paper roll holder, pull out a 2 or 3 cm length and then close the cover. This simple method saves time and ensures that the paper is always loaded correctly even when performed in the field.

The IT-3000 has been designed and built for rugged reliability. The terminal, including the printer and paper roll holder complies with the IP54 rating for dust and water-splash protection. It can withstand a drop from a height of 1.2 meters to concrete and can operate in temperatures between -20°C and +50°C. The IT-3000's rugged construction enables it to survive rough handling and give trouble free use over prolonged periods in very tough environments.
