Scanning Bar Codes
The SR61 contains either a 1D linear imager (SR61xV), 2D area
imager (SR61xA), laser scan engine (SR61xL), or near-far range
area imager (SR61xE) 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 and SR61xE only)
If you are using bar code labels that are encoded in a different
symbology, you need to enable the symbology on your 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 your SR61 and the host device. For more
information about establishing a Bluetooth connection, see
“Connecting the SR61 to a Host Device” on page 14.
For the SR61xL and SR61xE, do not look directly into the
window area or at a reflection of the laser beam or laser
aiming beam while the laser is scanning. Long-term exposure
to the laser beam can damage your vision.
