Chapter 3 Data Capture - HandHeld NAUTIZ X3 User Manual

Chapter 3 Data Capture

Overview
NAUTIZ X3 provides two kinds of data capture modes:
Laser decoding
Image decoding
Note:
To perform data capture mode, a scanning application must be installed in
NAUTIZ X3.

Laser scanning
The barcode scanning features of NAUTIZ X3 are as follows:
Recognizing various linear barcodes such as Code39, Codel128, or 1-dimension
barcodes, etc.
User-defined setting mode customizable for users' working environments.
Things to be considered for scanning
Generally, scanning is a very simple task composed of leveling, scanning, and decoding.
Therefore, a user can be familiar with the process after a few trials. However, the followings
should be noted beforehand to optimize the scanning performance:
Distance
All scanning devices have their optimal recognition range (minimum or maximum
distance from a barcode). This range may differ in barcode sizes or in the type of
scanning devices.
If a scanning task is performed within the range, scanning will be fast and reliable, but
if the task is performed within too close distance or too far distance, the success rate
will decrease. When scanning, move NAUTIZ X3 forward and backward in order to find
an optimal operation range.
Angle
Scanning at too tilted angle is more likely to fail in recognition.
The bigger a barcode is, the greater distance between the barcode and NAUTIZ X3
should be.
The shorter the distance between barcodes, the closer the use of NAUTIZ X3.
