Imaging; Operational Modes; Imager Scanning - Motorola WT41NO User Manual

Imaging

The 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 Modes

The 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.
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.
•
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 Scanning

Ensure that a scan-enabled application is loaded on the wearable terminal.
1.
Press and hold the scan button.
2.
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.
