Operational Modes; Imager Scanning - Motorola MC92N0-G User Manual

•
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 Modes

The MC92N0-G with an integrated imager supports three modes of operation, listed below. Activate each mode
pressing the Scan button.
•
Decode Mode: In this mode, the MC92N0-G 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.
NOTE To enable Pick List Mode, use the CtlPanel applet on Windows CE or download the Windows Mobile Control
Panel applet from the Support Central web site at http://www.zebra.com/support. Pick List can also be set in
an application using a API command.
•
Pick List Mode: This mode allows you to selectively decode a bar code when more than one bar code is in
the MC92N0-G'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 MC92N0-G's field of view. This is useful
for capturing signatures or images of items like damaged boxes.

Imager Scanning

To read a bar code, a scan-enabled application is required. The MC92N0-G contains the DataWedge and
ScanSample (Windows CE devices only) application that allows the user to enable the scanner to decode bar
code data and display the bar code content. See
DataWedge and ScanSample on page 4-6
Launch a scanning application or a sample scanning application (DataWedge or ScanSample).
1.
Point the exit window on the top of the MC92N0-G at a bar code.
2.
Press the trigger or scan button. Ensure the red scan beam covers the entire bar code. The Scan LED
3.
Indicators illuminate red to indicate that the laser is on. The Scan LED Indicators illuminate green and a beep
sounds to indicate a successful decode.
