Data Capture
64
Laser Scanning
The device with laser scanner has the following features:
• Reading of a variety of barcode symbologies, including the most popular linear, postal, and 1-D code
types.
• Intuitive aiming for easy point-and-shoot operation.
Imaging
The device with an integrated imager has the following features:
• Omnidirectional (360°) reading of a variety of barcode 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 for easy point-and-shoot operation.
The imager 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
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 you hold the scan button, or until it decodes a
barcode.
• 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 center 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).
NOTE: To enable Pick List Mode, configure in DataWedge or set in an application using a API command.
Digital Camera
The device with an integrated camera based barcode scanning solution has the following features:
• Omnidirectional reading of a variety of barcode symbologies, including the most popular linear, postal,
QR, PDF417, and 2D matrix code types.
• Cross-hair reticle for easy point-and-shoot operation.
• Picklist mode to decode a particular barcode from many in the field of view.
The solution uses the advanced camera technology to take a digital picture of a barcode, and executes
state-of-the-art software decoding algorithms to extract the data from the image.
