Introduction Y AR CHAPTER 3 DATA CAPTURE The MC21XX provides three types of data capture re e options: • linear imager • 1D laser scanner • 2D imager (MC2180 only). Linear Imager The MC21XX with an integrated tegrated linear CCD iimager has the following features: • Reading of a variety of bar code sy symbologies, including the most popular linear, postal and 1-D code types. PR • Intuitive point-and-shoot operation.
3-2 MC21XX Series User Guide The imager uses digital camera technology to take a digital picture of a bar code, 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 MC21XX with an integrated imager support three modes of operation, listed below. Activate each mode pressing the Scan button.
Data Capture 3-3 Laser Scanning and Linear Imaging To scan bar codes with the MC21XX: Ensure that the MC21XX is loaded with a scanning application. See DataWedge on page 3-5 for more information. 2. If the MC21XX is equipped with a rotating head, adjust the head prior to scanning. 3. Aim the scan window at the bar code. Figure 3-1 Data Capture Press the scan button. Ensure re the red scan beam covers the entire bar code. The LED Indicators hat the beam is on.
3-4 MC21XX Series User Guide NOTE Scanning procedures depend on the application and MC21XX configuration. An application may use different scanning procedures from the one listed above. Imager Scanning To read a bar code, a scan-enabled application is required. The MC21XX contains the DataWedge application de that allows the user to enable the scanner to decode bar code data and display the bar code content. e cco Ensure that a scan-enabled application is loaded on the MC21XX.
Data Capture 3-5 NOTE Imager decoding usually occurs instantaneously. The MC2180 repeats the steps required to take a digital picture (image) of a poor or difficult bar code as long as the scan button remains pressed.
