CHAPTER 3 DATA CAPTURE Introduction The wearable terminal can be used with the following optional data capture accessories: • RS309 laser scanner • RS409 laser scanner • RS419 laser scanner • RS507 Hands-free imager. Laser Scanning Wearable terminals with an optional RS309, RS409 or RS419 laser scanner have the following features: • Reading of a variety of bar code symbologies, including the most popular linear and 1D code types.
3-2 WT41N0 User Guide Ensure the red scan beam covers the entire bar code. The Decode LED lights red to indicate that scanning is in process, then lights green and a beep sounds, by default, to indicate the bar code was decoded successfully. Figure 3-1 Laser Scanner Aiming Pattern Release the trigger. 5. Scanning Tips Optimal scanning distance varies with bar code density and scanner optics. • Hold the scanner farther away for larger symbols.
Data Capture 3-3 • Omnidirectional (360°) reading of a variety of bar code symbologies, including the most popular linear, postal, PDF417, and 2D matrix code types. • Advanced intuitive laser aiming for easy point-and-shoot operation. 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.
3-4 WT41N0 User Guide Figure 3-4 Pick List Mode with Multiple Bar Codes 3. Release the scan button. NOTE Imager decoding usually occurs instantaneously. The RS507 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. Scanning Considerations Typically, scanning is a simple matter of aim, scan/decode and a few quick trial efforts master it.
Data Capture 3-5 Figure 3-5 Sample Pairing Bar Code 4. Scan the pairing bar code. Note that when using the Voice Only WT41N0, use the Remote COntrol software to display the pairing bar code on a computer monitor. Refer to the WT41N0 integrator Guide for more information. 5.

Usually used to refer to services provided by one software component to another, usually via software interrupts or function calls Application Programming Interface. See API. ANSI Terminal. A display terminal that follows commands in the ANSI standard terminal language. For example, it uses escape sequences to control the cursor, clear the screen and set colors.
Glossary - 2 WT41N0 User Guide Byte. On an addressable boundary, eight adjacent binary digits (0 and 1) combined in a pattern to represent a specific character or numeric value. Bits are numbered from the right, 0 through 7, with bit 0 the low-order bit. One byte in memory is used to store one ASCII character. boot or boot-up. The process a computer goes through when it starts. During boot-up, the computer can run self-diagnostic tests and configure hardware and software. C CDRH.
Glossary - 3 Decode Algorithm. A decoding scheme that converts pulse widths into data representation of the letters or numbers encoded within a bar code symbol. Decryption. Decryption is the decoding and unscrambling of received encrypted data. Also see, Encryption and Key. Depth of Field. The range between minimum and maximum distances at which a scanner can read a symbol with a certain minimum element width. Device Configuration Package.
Glossary - 4 WT41N0 User Guide Host Computer. A computer that serves other terminals in a network, providing such services as computation, database access, supervisory programs and network control. I IEC. International Electrotechnical Commission. This international agency regulates laser safety by specifying various laser operation classes based on power output during operation. IEC (825) Class 1. This is the lowest power IEC laser classification.
Glossary - 5 IS-95. Interim Standard 95. The EIA/TIA standard that governs the operation of CDMA cellular service. Versions include IS-95A and IS-95B. See CDMA. K Key. A key is the specific code used by the algorithm to encrypt or decrypt the data. Also see, Encryption and Decrypting. L laser scanner. A type of bar code reader that uses a beam of laser light.
