CHAPTER
3
USE THE IMAGER
This section describes how to use and configure the scanner to scan bar codes.

About the Imager

The internal imager can read 1D and 2D bar code symbologies, composite
symbologies, and postal codes. You can also use the internal imager to take
pictures as if it were a camera or use the integrated flash as a flashlight.
You can also use Bluetooth communications to connect the computer to cordless
scanners, such as the Granit™ 1981i and 1911i.

How to Scan Bar Codes as Keyboard Input

The scan wedge feature sends scanned bar code data to an active application as
Android keypad input. To scan a bar code as keyboard input, open an application
that accepts text input and then scan a bar code. By default, the scan wedge
feature is enabled on the computer.
You can use applications that are coded to use the scanner or applications that
receive data through the scan wedge feature. If an application claims the scanner
through the BarcodeReader API, the scan wedge feature is temporarily disabled.
You can find information on how to create custom applications for the computer in
the Honeywell Mobility SDK for Android, available from the Honeywell Technical
Support Downloads Portal at https://hsmftp.honeywell.com. Once you create an
account and enter the portal, navigate to Software > Software and Tools >
Developer Library > SDKs for Android.
