Image Capture
NOTE
Image capture requires that the sc
anner use the Standard RS-
232 or USB COM interface ONLY.
The scanner reverts to normal read
ing mode after image capture
and transfer.
How to Capture an Image
By default, images are captured as 640 x 480 (VGA) format with a minimum
compression ratio, and are displayed via the host application software. There
are two methods of capturing images as discussed below:
• Image Capture by Scanning a Special label
• Image Capture to the Host by Host Command
Image Capture by Scanning a Special label
To initiate an Image Capture, scan the IMAGE CAPTURE label below.
IMAGE CAPTURE
Upon scanning this label, the scanner’s beeper will sound a “chirp” sequence
and its LED's will flash rapidly for a time (nominally five seconds). At the end of
this time, the scanner will capture the image and sound a rapid beep series. The
scanner's LED's will then flash more slowly while data is being transmitted to
the host. The beeper will then sound a final series of beeps to indicate the cap-
ture process is complete.
Image Capture to the Host by Host Command
Image Capture is also available through Host commands. Refer to Appendix F,
Host Commands for more information.
