Data Capture
Introduction
The device supports data capture using:
• Internal linear imager
• RS507/RS507x Hands-free imager
• RS6000 Bluetooth Ring Scanner
• RS5100 Bluetooth Ring Scanner
• DS3678 Digital Scanner
• LI3678 Linear Imager
• DS2278 Digital Scanner
• DS8178 Digital Scanner.
Imaging
The imager uses imaging technology to take a picture of a barcode, stores the resulting image in its
memory, and executes state-of-the-art software decoding algorithms to extract the bar code data from the
image. With a 2D imager, the device has the following features:
• Omnidirectional reading of a variety of bar code symbologies, including the most popular linear, postal,
PDF417, and 2D matrix code types.
• Advanced intuitive laser aiming cross-hair and dot aiming for easy point-and-shoot operation.
Linear Imager
The device with an integrated linear imager has the following features:
• Reading a variety of bar code symbologies, including the most popular 1-D code types.
• Intuitive aiming for easy point-and-shoot operation.
