Ea11 Imager; Operating Two Dimensional (2D) Imagers - Psion 7515 User Manual

• To clean ink marks from the label, use isopropyl alcohol.
• The two-lock assembly in the Powered Vehicle Cradle holds the EP10 firmly in place.
Although this mechanism is designed for at least 20,000 cycles, it will wear over time
and will no longer lock the EP10 securely in the cradle. For replacement parts and
instructions contact Psion Teklogix. Partial disassembly is required.

EA11 Imager

The EP10 hand-held supports the EA11 Decoded 2D imager. This imager can be configured
using the Scanner Settings located under Settings>System>Teklogix Scanners (see "Scanner
Settings" on page 150) and the Manage Triggers application (see "Manage Triggers" on
page 133).
It is critical that you review the safety information in the "EP10 Hand-Held Regulatory &
Warranty Guide", PN 8000235 before proceeding.

6.13.1 Operating Two Dimensional (2D) Imagers

An imager takes a snap shot of a single bar code or multiple bar codes (at one time). It can
find a bar code regardless of its orientation – that is, even a bar code printed at a 45 degree
angle to the EP10 will be decoded successfully.
Note: When scanning multiple bar codes, ensure that all of the desired bar codes are
within the field of view of the scanner. It is possible that even when all bar codes are
within the field of view, not all of them will be decoded. Only successfully decoded
bar codes are passed to the application program. The application program then
issues a warning, asking that you scan the missing bar codes.
When scanning a single bar code, ensure that only the desired bar code is within the
field of view of the scanner.
Because imagers generally have a shorter depth of field than laser scanners, some practise
may be required to find the optimal distance from the types of bar codes being scanned. Al-
though the imager includes illumination LEDs, ambient light will help the imager decode
the bar codes, especially if the bar code is far from the EP10.
