Scanner Support

The 700 Series Color Mobile Computer is available with imaging or laser
scanning technologies, including the following:
S APS linear imager:
Reads 1D symbologies and PDF417 bar codes. Linear imaging using
Vista Scanning technology reads low-contrast bar codes, laminated bar
codes, and bar codes displayed on CRT or TRT displays. This imaging
uses harmless LEDs for illumination and does not require any warning
labels. Vista Scanning is more reliable than lasers as it is a completely
solid state with no moving parts or oscillating mirrors.
S 2D Imager:
This decodes several stacked 1D and 2D symbologies, including
PDF417, Data Matrix, and MaxiCode without "painting." It can also
read 1D codes from any orientation, for example the scan beam does
not need to be aligned perpendicular to the symbol in order to read it.
Photography is a secondary application; the lens in the device will favor
bar code reading. Photos are 640x480, 256 gray-scale.
S 1D laser scanner:
Traditional laser scanner that decodes 1D bar codes.
S PDF417 laser scanner:
Higher speed laser scanner that can read PDF417 labels by "painting"
the label.
A 700 Color Imager Demo application demonstrates the more common
features of the 700 Color Computer imager. See the Imager Demo V1.0
User's Guide" on the 700 Color Software Tools CD for more information.
