Quick Start

This section familiarizes you with some of the Intelligent Document Capture features.
page 7-18 includes instructions to demonstrate the Anchored, Free-Form, and Linked modes using a sample
form to help provide an understanding of how to use IDC. These examples do not illustrate all capabilities of
the advanced IDC firmware. Build upon these using different parameter settings and forms.

Sample IDC Setup

To set up IDC with the decoder:
Connect a decoder equipped with the Intelligent Document Capture feature to the host computer's USB

scanning parameter bar codes in this guide. The bar code in the sample form is Code 128, which is
enabled by default for decoding and as a Document Capture symbology. You can change these settings
for your IDC application.
Perform the list of suggestions in each demo. When scanning, aim the engine at the bar code in the center

of the rectangle. Pull the engine back so the rectangle is fully contained in the aiming pattern. When you
pull the trigger, the decoder emits a low tone to indicate that the IDC firmware identified and captured an
image, then a decode beep to indicate that the data is processed and transmitted. There may be several
seconds between the two beeps, depending on the size of the captured image and options selected
(de-skew, brighten, etc). You can move the decoder after the first beep, but continue the hold the trigger or
the decoder may end the session before sending the data.
