Using 8000 Mobile Computer
1.6 DATA CAPTURE
A variety of scan engines is available for delivering flexibility to meet different
requirements. Depending on the scan engine integrated, the mobile computer is capable
of scanning barcodes of a number of symbologies that are enabled by default while
running the preloaded AG runtime. Refer to section
3.3.1 Reader for functional test.
If you need to scan barcodes that are encoded in a symbology, which is disabled by
default in AG runtime, FORGE Application Generator (ForgeAG.exe) allows configuring
symbology settings, as well as reader settings. First, enable the desired symbologies, and
then, download the application settings to the mobile computer.
Note: For details on configuring reader and symbology settings, please refer to the
documentation of the software you use.
Varying by the scan engine installed, the supported symbologies are listed below.
1D CCD scan engine
1D Laser scan engine
Note: In AG or CipherNet runtime, not all of the symbologies are enabled by default.
Instead of running any of them, you can develop your own applications to control
the scan engine for data collection.
