Scan
The Imager uses digital camera technology to take an image of a bar code and
software decoding algorithms are executed to extract the bar code data from the
image.

Scan Triggering Modes

Manual Triggering

Launch a scanning software application on the mobile computer.
1.
Position the Imager approximately 9 inches (22.8 cm) from a bar code label
2.
and press the Scan Trigger. Position the cross hair laser beam to cover the bar
code. The Imager takes a digital picture (image) of the bar code and stores it in
memory for decoding.
NOTE After battery is inserted or a corded adaptor is connected (on both sides),
the first trigger press disables the auto triggering mode.
One green flash and a high beep sounds to indicate that the bar code was
3.
properly decoded.
NOTE In some applications, proper decoding of a bar code is indicated by a
software application running on the mobile computer.
Auto-triggering
The Imager is provided with auto-triggering capability. In auto-triggering mode,
both motion and proximity sensors are used to trigger the Imager when the user
intends to scan a bar code.
With auto-triggering activated, the Imager automatically scans when motion stops
and a bar code is placed within the depth of field of the Imager. The Imager scans
the bar code and turns off to conserve power. The Imager can also be configured
to a single or continued scan operation. The motion and proximity features are
enabled by default and can be re-configured by the user (see RS507 Hands-Free
Imager Product Reference Guide, p/n 72E-120802-01).
To scan a bar code in auto-triggering mode:
Position the Imager approximately 9 inches (22.8 cm) from a bar code label.
1.
Hold the Imager steady, aiming at the bar code.
2.
The Imager takes a picture (image) of the bar code and stores it in memory for
3.
decoding.
