1.6 DATA CAPTURE

1.6.1 BARCODE SCANNER

A wide variety of scan engines is available for delivering flexibility to meet different
requirements. Depending on the scan engine integrated, the mobile computer is capable
of scanning barcodes of a number of symbologies that are enabled by default while
running the preloaded AG runtime. Refer to
If you need to scan barcodes that are encoded in a specific symbology disabled by
default in AG runtime, FORGE Application Generator (ForgeAG.exe, the application on
the included CD-ROM) allows configuring symbology settings, as well as reader settings.
After launching the application, enable the desired symbologies, and then download the
application settings to the mobile computer.
Note: For details on configuring reader and symbology settings, please refer to the
documentation of the software you use.
Varying by the scan engine installed, the supported symbologies are listed below.
1D CCD scan engine
1D Laser scan engine
2D scan engine
Note: In AG or CipherNet runtime, not all of the symbologies are enabled by default.
Instead of running any of them, you can develop your own applications to control
the scan engine for data collection.
