CHAPTER 3 DATA CAPTURE
Introduction
The MC55 offers three types of data capture options:
•
Linear scanning
•
Imaging
•
Digital camera.
Linear Scanning
MC55 with an integrated linear scanner have the following features:
•
Reading of a variety of bar code symbologies, including the most popular linear, postal, and 1-D code
types.
•
Intuitive aiming for easy point-and-shoot operation.
Imaging
MC55 with an integrated imager have the following features:
•
Omnidirectional reading of a variety of bar code symbologies, including the most popular linear, postal,
PDF417, and 2D matrix code types.
•
The ability to capture and download images to a host for a variety of imaging applications.
•
Advanced intuitive laser aiming cross-hair and dot aiming) for easy point-and-shoot operation.
The imager uses digital camera technology to take a digital picture of a bar code, stores the resulting image in
its memory, and executes state-of-the-art software decoding algorithms to extract the data from the image.
NOTE To perform data capture a scanning enabled application must be installed on the MC55. A sample
scanning application can be downloaded from the Motorola Support site at http://support.symbol.com.
