CHAPTER 3 DATA CAPTUREIntroductionThe 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 ScanningWearable 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, postal, and 1D code types.•Advanced intuitive laser aiming for easy point-and-shoot operation.Scanning ConsiderationsTypically, scanning is a simple matter of aim, scan/decode and a few quick trial efforts master it. However, two important considerations can be used to optimize any scanning performance:•RangeAny 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 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 bar codes being scanned. However, the situation is complicated by the availability of various integrated scanning modules. The best way to specify the appropriate working range per bar code density is through a chart called a decode zone for each scan module. A decode zone simply plots working range as a function of minimum element widths of bar code symbols.•AngleDRAFT
3 - 2 WT41N0 User GuideScanning angle is important for promoting quick decodes. When laser beams reflect directly back into the scanner from the bar code, this specular reflection can “blind” the scanner.To avoid this, scan the bar code so that the beam does not bounce directly back. But don’t 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.Scanning Bar Codes1. Ensure that a scan enabled application is loaded on the wearable terminal.2. Aim the scan exit window at the bar code.3. Press the trigger.•Ensure the red scan beam covers the entire bar code. The red scan LED lights to indicate that the laser is on. The green scan LED lights. An audible beep might sound, if the application determines, to indicate the bar code was decoded successfully.Figure 3-1Laser Scanner Aiming Pattern4. Release the trigger.Scanning TipsOptimal scanning distance varies with bar code density and scanner optics.•Hold the scanner farther away for larger symbols.•Move the scanner closer for symbols with bars that are close together.Scan LED IndicatorThe LED on the scanner provides a visual indication of the scan status.NOTE Contact the Symbol Support Center if chronic scanning difficulties develop. Decoding of properly printed bar codes should be quick and effortless. NOTE Imager decoding usually occurs instantaneously. The wearable terminal repeats the steps required to take a digital picture (image) of a poor or difficult bar code, as long as the trigger remains pulled.NOTE Scanning procedures depend on the application and wearable terminal configuration. An application may use different scanning procedures from the one listed above. Table 3-1Scan LED Indicators LED Status IndicationOff Not scanning.Solid Red Laser enabled, scanning in process.Solid Green Successful decode.DRAFT
Data Capture 3 - 3ImagingThe wearable terminal with an optional RS507 imager has the following features:•Omnidirectional (360°) reading of a variety of bar code symbologies, including the most popular linear, postal, PDF417, 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 for easy point-and-shoot operation.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 ModesThe wearable terminal with optional RS507 imager supports three modes of operation, listed below. Activate each mode pressing the Scan button.•Decode Mode: In this mode, the RS507 attempts to locate and decode enabled bar codes within its field of view. The imager remains in this mode as long as you hold the scan button, or until it decodes a bar code.•Pick List Mode: This mode allows you to selectively decode a bar code when more than one bar code is in the RS507’s field of view. To accomplish this, move the aiming crosshair center dot over the required bar code to decode only that bar code. This feature is ideal for pick lists containing multiple bar codes and manufacturing or transport labels containing more than one bar code type (either 1D or 2D).•Image Capture Mode: Use this mode to capture an image within the RS507’s field of view. This is useful for capturing signatures or images of items like damaged boxes.Imager Scanning1. Ensure that a scan-enabled application is loaded on the wearable terminal.2. Press and hold the scan button.The red laser aiming pattern turns on to assist in aiming. Ensure the cross-hair is on top of the 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. Note that when the RS507 is in Pick List Mode, the imager does not decode the bar code until the crosshair center dot touches the bar code.NOTE To enable Pick List Mode, download the Control Panel applet from the Support Central web site at http://www.motorola.com/enterprisemobility/support. Pick List can also be set in an application using a API command.DRAFT
