Chapter 4, “Configuration Command Reference.”
Scanning Bar Codes
The SR61 contains a 1D linear imager, 2D area imager, or laser
scan engine to scan bar code data. The type of scan engine you
are using and the type of bar code you are decoding determines
the way you scan the bar code.
When you unpack the SR61, these bar code symbologies are
enabled:
•Code 39
• Code 128 / EAN 128
•UPC/EAN
•PDF417
• DataMatrix (SR61xA only)
If you are using bar code labels that are encoded in a different
symbology, you need to enable the symbology on the SR61. Use
EasySet version 5.4.1 or later to enable and disable symbologies
for your scanner. EasySet is available at no charge from the
Intermec web site at www.intermec.com.
Before you can scan bar codes and send data to your data
collection application, you need to establish a Bluetooth
connection between the SR61 and your host device. For more
information about establishing a Bluetooth connection, see
“Connecting the SR61 to a Host Device” on page 12.
Tip: Depending on your screen resolution, you may be able to
scan bar codes displayed on your computer screen with an
SR61xA or SR61xV.
Do not look directly into the window area or at a reflection of
the laser beam while the laser is scanning. Long-term exposure
to the laser beam can damage your vision.
