Data Capture
Introduction
This chapter provides information for capturing barcode data using the internal camera and optional scan modules
and Bluetooth scanner.
The MC33XX offers the following data capture options:
• Imager (SE4750-SR 2D and SE4850-ER 2D).
• Laser Scanner (SE965 ID).
• Bluetooth (RS507/RS507X Hands-free imager, RS6000 Bluetooth Ring Scanner, and DS3678 Digital
Barcode Scanner).
Imager
The device with an integrated imager has the following features:
• Omnidirectional reading of a variety of barcode symbologies, including the most popular linear, postal,
PDF417, and 2D matrix code types.
• Advanced intuitive laser aiming cross-hair for easy point-and-shoot operation.
The modules uses digital camera technology to take a digital picture of a barcode, stores the resulting image in its
memory, and executes state-of-the-art software decoding algorithms to extract the data from the image.
Operational Modes
The device with an integrated imager supports two modes of operation, listed below. Activate each mode by
pressing a scan button.
• Decode Mode: In this 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: DataWedge is installed and enabled on the MC33XX by default.
By default, the good decode beep is set to system volume (Music and Media). The good decode
beep can be set to another sound (Notifications or Alarms) and the volume can be independently
controlled. See the DataWedge section in the
MC33XX Integrator Guide for more information.
