Data Capture
This section provides information for capturing barcode data using various
scanning options. The device supports data capture using: · Integrated Imager
· Integrated Camera · RS507/RS507X Hands-free Imager · RS5100 Bluetooth Ring
Scanner · RS6000 Hands-free Imager · DS3578 Bluetooth scanner · DS3678 Digital
Scanner · DS8178 Digital Scanner
Imaging
The device with an integrated 2D imager has the following features: ·
Omnidirectional reading of a variety of barcode symbologies, including the
most popular linear, postal,
PDF417, Digimarc, 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 cross-hair and dot aiming for easy point-and-shoot
operation. The imager uses imaging technology to take a picture of a barcode,
stores the resulting image in memory, and executes state-of-the-art software
decoding algorithms to extract the barcode data from the image.
Digital Camera
The device with an integrated camera based barcode scanning solution has the
following features: NOTE: The integrated camera is intended for light-duty
barcode scanning. For heavy-duty scanning, 100 or more scans per day, use the
2D imager. · 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.
73
Data Capture
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. On camera only devices without an internal
scan engine, the back camera is used for barcode scanning. When the front
camera is used by an app, such as for indoor locationing, the back camera
becomes disabled and cannot be used for barcode scanning.
Operational Modes
The device with an integrated imager supports three modes of operation.
Activate each mode by pressing Scan. · Decode 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.
NOTE: To enable Picklist Mode, configure in DataWedge or set in an application
using an API command. · Picklist mode — Selectively decode a barcode when more
than one barcode is in the device’s field of
view by moving the aiming crosshair or dot over the required barcode. Use this
feature for pick lists containing multiple barcodes and manufacturing or
transport labels containing more than one barcode type (either 1D or 2D).
NOTE: To enable MultiBarcode Mode, configure in DataWedge or set in an
application using an API command. · MultiBarcode Mode — In this mode, the
device attempts to locate and decode a specific number of
unique barcodes within its field of view. The device remains in this mode as
long as the user holds the scan button, or until it decodes all the barcodes.
· The device attempts to scan the programmed number of unique barcodes (from 2
through 100). This
may be a fixed amount, meaning it scans X unique barcodes, or can be set as a
range to scan a different number of unique barcodes each session. · If there
are duplicate barcodes (same symbology type and data), only one of the
duplicate barcodes is decoded and the remainder are ignored. If the label has
two duplicate barcodes plus another two different barcodes, a maximum of three
barcodes will be decoded from that label; one will be ignored as a duplicate.
· Barcodes can be of multiple symbology types and still be acquired together.
For example, if the specified quantity for a MultiBarcode Mode scan is four,
two barcodes can be symbology type Code 128 and the other two can be symbology
type Code 39. · If the specified number of unique barcodes is not initially in
view of the device, the device will not decode any data until the device is
moved to capture the additional barcode(s) or time out occurs. If the device
field of view contains a number of barcodes greater than the specified
quantity, the device randomly decodes barcode(s) until the specified number of
unique barcodes is reached. For example, if the count is set to two and eight
barcodes are in the field of view, the device decodes the first two unique
barcodes it sees, returning the data in random order. · MultiBarcode Mode does
not support concatenated barcodes.
74
Data Capture
Scanning Considerations
Typically, scanning is a simple matter of aim, scan, and decode, with a few
quick trial efforts to master it. However, consider the following to optimize
scanning performance: · Range — Scanners decode optimally over a particular
working range — minimum and maximum
distances from the barcode. This range varies according to barcode density and
scanning device optics. Scan within range for quick and constant decodes;
scanning too close or too far away prevents decodes. Move the scanner closer
and further away to find the right working range for the barcodes being
scanned. · Angle — Scanning angle is important for quick decodes. When the
illumination/flash reflects directly back into the imager, the specular
reflection can blind/saturate the imager. To avoid this, scan the barcode so
that the beam does not bounce directly back. Do not scan at too sharp an
angle; the scanner needs to collect scattered reflections from the scan to
make a successful decode. Practice quickly shows what tolerances to work
within. · Hold the device farther away for larger symbols. · Move the device
closer for symbols with bars that are close together. NOTE: Scanning
procedures depend on the app and device configuration. An app may use
different scanning procedures from the one listed above.
Scanning with the Internal Imager
Use the internal imager to capture barcode data. 1. Ensure that an application
is open on the device and a text field is in focus (text cursor in text
field). 2. Point the exit window of the device at a barcode.
3. Press and hold the scan button. The red laser aiming pattern turns on to
assist in aiming.
75
Data Capture
NOTE: When the device is in Pick List Mode, the device does not decode the
barcode until the center of the crosshair touches the barcode. 4. Ensure the
barcode is within the area formed by the aiming pattern. The aiming dot is
used for
increased visibility in bright lighting conditions.
The Data Capture LED lights green and a beep sounds, by default, to indicate
the barcode was decoded successfully. 5. Release the scan button. NOTE: Imager
decoding usually occurs instantaneously. The device repeats the steps required
to take a digital picture (image) of a poor or difficult barcode as long as
the scan button remains pressed. The barcode content data displays in the text
field.
Scanning with Internal Camera
Use the internal camera to capture barcode data. NOTE: To read a barcode, a
scan-enabled app is required. The device contains the DataWedge app that
allows the user to enable the scanner to decode barcode data and display the
barcode content. NOTE: The integrated camera is intended for light-duty
barcode scanning. For heavy-duty scanning, 100 or more scans per day, use the
2D imager. When capturing barcode data in poor lighting, turn on Illumination
mode in the DataWedge application. To scan with the internal camera: 1. Launch
a scanning application.
