Data Capture
Introduction
The device supports data capture using:
• Integrated imager
• RS507 Hands-free Imager
• RS6000 Bluetooth Ring Scanner
• DS3678 Digital Scanner.
Imaging
The imager uses imaging technology to take a picture of a bar code, 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.
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: 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: To enable Pick List Mode, configure in DataWedge or set in an application using a API command.
• Pick List Mode: This mode allows the user to selectively decode a barcode when more than one
barcode is in the device’s field of view. To accomplish this, move the aiming crosshair or dot over
the required barcode to decode only this barcode. This feature is ideal for pick lists containing
multiple barcodes and manufacturing or transport labels containing more than one barcode type
(either 1D or 2D).
