Data Capture
The DL-Axist has an integrated imager that collects data by
scanning barcodes.
See “Scanner Settings” on page -48 for instructions on configuring
the scanner settings.
Imager Data Capture
The imager uses digital camera technology to take a digital picture
of a barcode, the image is stored in memory and software decoding
algorithms are executed to extract the data from the image.
To scan a barcode symbol:
1. Point the scan window at the barcode.
2. Tap Scan on the screen or press one of the scan buttons on the
DL-Axist. The imager projects a laser aiming pattern similar to
those used on cameras. The aiming pattern is used to position
the barcode or object within the field of view.
