Introduction

The Imagers applet is used to create, modify, delete, and activate imager settings. The principal uses of the
application are to decode barcodes and to capture images. This imager services application is used for
cameras and imagers to configure linear (1D), stacked linear, matrix (true 2D) and postal barcodes.
A Demonstration Application is provided to demonstrate how the imager works. Refer to
for details.

Required Applets

In order to configure imaging, the Manage Triggers applet must be present in the Control Panel, along with the
Imagers applet.
NOTE
The Imagers icon is only displayed when the appropriate imager is installed in
your Omnii. If there is an imager installed but this icon is not present, additional
software (ICS) may need to be installed.
To enable a newly-installed imager, press and hold down the [FN] key and the
[Enter/Power] key simultaneously for a minimum of three seconds.

Presets

There are two methods that can be used to configure an imager using the Imagers applet:
• Use a predefined preset.
• Create a custom preset based on a predefined preset.
IMPORTANT
A preset is a group of exposure and image correction settings. Each preset configures the imager for a specific
purpose such as barcode decoding or image capture.
Presets also allow easier and faster configuration of the imager after power-on or resume from suspend.
The predefined presets are generic and satisfy most user requirements. A custom preset can be created for a
specific user application, such as: include only specified barcodes, read only a specified number of barcodes
or for reading unusual media.
Every preset belongs to a preset type. The following preset types are available:
• Imaging for photo capture.
• Imaging for barcode decoding.
• Symbology selection.
At any time, only one preset of each type can be designated as the user-selected active preset.
It is strongly recommended that a predefined preset is
used whenever possible. Each predefined preset con-
tains a coherent group of settings that are known to work
together in the intended environment. In almost all situa-
tions, at least one of the predefined presets results in a
satisfactory outcome.
