Chapter 3 Data Capture
Introduction
The MC45 offers two types of data capture options:
•
Laser scanning
•
Color digital camera.
The MC45 contains the DataWedge application that allows user to enable the camera, decode the bar code data
and display the bar code content. To enable DataWedge, see DataWedge on page 3-4.
Laser Scanning
An MC45 with an integrated laser scanner has the following features:
•
Reading of a variety of bar code symbologies, including the most popular 1-D code types.
•
Intuitive aiming for easy point-and-shoot operation.
•
Adaptive Scanning.
Scanning Considerations
Typically, scanning is a simple matter of aim, scan, and decode and a few quick trial efforts master it. However,
consider the following to optimize scanning performance:
NOTE To perform data capture a scanning enabled application must be installed on the MC45. A sample scanning
application can be downloaded from the Motorola Support site at
http://www.motorolasolutions.com/support.
DRAFT 9
3 - 2 MC45 User Guide
•
Range
Any scanning device decodes well over a particular working range — minimum and maximum distances from
the bar code. This range varies according to bar code density and scanning device optics.
Scanning within range brings quick and dependable decodes; scanning too close or too far away prevents
decodes. Move the scanner closer or further away to find the right working range for the bar codes being
scanned.
•
Angle
Scanning angle is important for promoting quick decodes.
•
Hold the MC45 farther away for larger symbols.
•
Move the MC45 closer for symbols with bars that are close together.
Bar Code Scanning
1. Ensure that a scan-enabled application is loaded on the MC45.
Figure 3-1
Linear Scanning
2. Press and hold the scan button. The laser beam exits from the end of the MC45. Ensure the red scan beam
covers the entire bar code. The Scan/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 3-2
Linear Scanner Aiming Pattern
3. Release the scan button.
NOTE Scanning procedures depend on the application and MC45 configuration. An application may use different
scanning procedures from the one listed above.

DRAFT 9
Data Capture 3 - 3
Adaptive Scanning
The MC45 contains the adaptive scanning feature that automatically adjusts the scan beam width for rapid and
easy scanning of bar codes from near contact to more than 200 inches away.
By default the MC45 is set to wide scan beam width. When the user presses the scan button, the MC45 determines
the distance from the bar code. For close bar codes the MC45 sets a wide beam width and for far bar codes it sets
a narrow beam width. The MC45 uses distance, bar code type and material to determine the correct scan beam
width.
Figure 3-3
Adaptive Scanning
Color Digital Camera
MC45 with an integrated color digital camera have the following features:
•
Omnidirectional reading of a variety of bar code symbologies, including the most popular linear, postal,
PDF417, and 2D matrix code types.
•
Advanced intuitive aiming for easy point-and-shoot operation.
Digital Camera Scanning
1. Ensure that a scan-enabled application is loaded on the MC45.
2. Aim the camera lens on the back of the MC45 at a bar code.
3. Press and hold the scan button. In the image window, align the camera over the barcode.
4. A beep sounds, by default, to indicate the bar code was decoded successfully. Release the scan button.

CHAPTER 5 USING WLAN
Introduction
WLANs allow the MC45 to communicate wirelessly inside a building. Before using the MC45 on a WLAN, the
facility must be set up with the required hardware to run the WLAN (sometimes known as infrastructure). The
infrastructure and the MC45 must both be properly configured to enable this communication.
Refer to the documentation provided with the infrastructure (access points (APs), access ports, switches,
Radius servers, etc.) for instructions on how to set up the infrastructure.
Once you have set up the infrastructure to enforce your chosen WLAN security scheme, use the Fusion or
Wireless Zero Config (WZC) software to configure the MC45 to match.
Fusion Overview
The Fusion software contains applications with which to create wireless profiles. Each profile specifies the
security parameters to use for connecting to a particular WLAN as identified by its ESSID. The Fusion software
also allows the user to control which profile out of a set of profiles is used to connect. Other Fusion applications
allow the user to monitor the status of the current WLAN connection and to invoke diagnostic tools for
troubleshooting.
To access Fusion, tap the Start > > Wireless Launcher.
NOTEThe WLAN feature is only applicable for the MC4597.
