Data Capture
Introduction
The device supports data capture using:
• Integrated Imager
• Integrated Camera
• DS2278 Digital Scanner
• DS2208 Digital Scanner
• DS8178 Digital Scanner
• DS8108 Digital Scanner.
Integrated Imager
The device with an integrated 2D imager has the following features:
• Omnidirectional reading of a variety of barcode symbologies, including the most popular linear,
postal, PDF417, Digimarc, 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 imaging technology to take a picture of a barcode, stores the resulting image in
memory, and executes state-of-the-art software decoding algorithms to extract the barcode data from
the image.
Operational Modes
The device with an integrated imager supports two modes of operation, listed below. Activate each
mode by pressing the Scan button.
• Decode mode - The device attempts to locate and decode enabled barcodes within its field of view.
The imager remains in this mode as long as the user holds the scan button, or until it decodes a
barcode.
NOTE: To enable Pick List Mode, configure in DataWedge or set in an application using a API command.
• Pick List mode - Selectively decode a barcode when more than one barcode is in the device’s field
of view by moving the aiming crosshair or dot over the required barcode. Use this feature for pick
