Programming - Socket D760 Programming Manual

This chapter describes how to set up the scanner for OCR, 1D and 2D barcodes.
What is OCR?
OCR - Optical Character Recognition. OCR is a technology used to convert images
containing written text (i.e travel documents) into machine readable text data.
What is a 1D barcode?
Linear, 1 dimensional barcodes are a row of parallel lines of varying thickness. The information is stored in
the widths of the bars and spaces. 1D barcodes are used in retail products.
What is a 2D barcodes?
2D barcodes are a pattern of black and white blocks arranged in a square or rectangles.
Two dimensional barcodes can hold significant amount of information and are more typically used than 1D
barcodes. 2D barcodes are used for manufacturing, warehousing, etc.
For command barcodes not available in the guide, contact support@socketmobile.com.
After scanning a command barcode, power off and on the scanner to make sure it's configured.
To enhance the speed of reading, disable all symbologies and enable the desired symbology only.
Note: Most computer monitors allow scanning the barcodes directly on the screen. When scanning
from the screen, be sure to set the document magnification to a level where you can see the barcode
clearly, and bars and/or spaces are not merging.
