DATA CAPTURE
The Skorpio X5 has an integrated imager that collects data by scanning bar codes.
See "
Scanner Settings" on page 40 for instructions on configuring the scanner settings.
IMAGER DATA CAPTURE
The imager uses digital camera technology to take a digital picture of a bar code, the
image is stored in memory and software decoding algorithms are executed to extract
the data from the image.
To scan a bar code symbol:
1. Point the scan window at the bar code.
2. Press one of the scan triggers. The imager projects a laser aiming pattern that is
used to
position the barcode or object within the field of view.
3. Center the symbol in any orientation within the aiming pattern. Ensure the entire
s
ym
bol is within the rectangular area formed by the brackets in the aiming pat-
tern, then either wait for the timeout or release the Scan Key to capture the
image. A r
ed beam illuminates the symbol, which is captured and decoded.
If the scan has been successful:
• If enabled, the good read beep plays.
• If enabled, the GreenSpot projects a green spot onto the bar code image.
• If enabled, the good read indicator positioned at the top left side of the display
glows solid gr
een.
