USE THE IMAGE ENGINE
Use this chapter to understand how to scan barcodes, configure the scan settings,
and capture images using the integrated image engine in the computer.

About the Image Engine

The ScanPal EDA61K Series offers two Honeywell high-performance imager
options:
• EX20 Near/Far Imager
• N6703 Slim Imager
You can use the image engine in the computer as a scanner or camera.
Use the imager as a scanner to read 1D and 2D barcode symbologies, composite
symbologies, and postal codes. It also supports omni-directional scanning for
greater flexibility in real-world settings. By default, the scanner feature is enabled
and uses the default scan profile. You can modify the Default Profile or create new
profiles for custom applications from Settings > Honeywell Settings > Scanning.
Use the imager as a camera to capture black and white images, such as signatures
or pictures of damaged inventory.
Note: Instead of using the internal imager, you can also use Bluetooth communications to
connect the computer to an external scanner, such as the Granit™ 1981i and 1911i.
About the Scan Wedge Feature
The scan wedge feature sends scanned barcode data to an active application as
Android keypad input. To scan a barcode as keyboard input, open an application
that accepts text input and then scan a barcode. 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.
