Aiming the Imager

The mobile computer's integrated imager projects a laser aiming pattern (shown below) similar to
those used on cameras. The aiming pattern is used to position the bar code or object within the field
of view.

Operational Modes

Mobile computers with an integrated imager have two modes of operation: Decode Mode and Image
Capture Mode. Both modes are activated by pulling the trigger.
Decode Mode
In this mode, upon pulling the trigger, the Imager attempts to locate and decode enabled bar codes
within its field of view. The Imager remains in this mode as long as the trigger is pulled, or until a bar
code is decoded.
Image Capture Mode
In this default mode, upon pulling the trigger, the Imager attempts to locate and decode enabled bar
codes within its field of view. The Imager remains in this mode as long as the trigger is pulled, or until
a bar code is decoded.

RFID (MC9000-G RFID Only)

While the trigger is pressed on MC9000-G RFID mobile computers, the mobile computer interrogates
all of the RFID Class 0 and Class 1 tags within the radio frequency (RF) field of view. The mobile
computer captures data from each new tag found. When the trigger is released, the mobile computer
stops interrogating tags. In addition, RFID tag data can be stored on the mobile computer. Using the
MC9000-G RFID sample application, tags that are read display in the main RFID Tags window (see
Figure C-3 on page C-7).
