Data Capture
The MC40 offers the following data capture options:
• integrated imager
• integrated digital camera
• Magnetic stripe reader (MSR)
• RS507 Hands-free imager.
Note:
By default, the good decode beep is set to system volume (Music and Media). The good decode beep can
be set to another sound (Notifications or Alarms) and the volume can be independently controlled. See the
DataWedge section in the MC40 Integrator Guide for more information.
DataWedge is installed and enabled on the MC40 by default.

Imager

The device with an integrated imager has the following features:
• Omnidirectional reading of a variety of bar code symbologies, including the most popular linear, postal, PDF417,
and 2D matrix code types.
• Advanced intuitive laser aiming cross-hair for easy point-and-shoot operation.
The modules uses digital camera technology to take a digital picture of a bar code, stores the resulting image in its
memory, and executes state-of-the-art software decoding algorithms to extract the data from the image.
Operational Modes
The device with an integrated imager supports two modes of operation, listed below. Activate each mode by pressing
a scan button.
• Decode Mode: In this mode, the device attempts to locate and decode enabled bar codes within its field of view.
The imager remains in this mode as long as the user holds the scan button, or until it decodes a bar code.
Note: To enable Pick List Mode, configure in DataWedge.
• Pick List Mode: This mode allows the user to selectively decode a bar code when more than one bar code is in
the device's field of view. To accomplish this, move the aiming crosshair over the required bar code to decode
only this bar code. This feature is ideal for pick lists containing multiple bar codes and manufacturing or transport
labels containing more than one bar code type (either 1D or 2D).

Digital Camera

The device with an integrated camera based bar code scanning solution has the following features:
