Data Capture
The device supports data capture using:
• Internal linear imager
• Integrated camera
• RS507/RS507x Hands-free imager
• RS5100 Bluetooth Ring Scanner
• RS6000 Bluetooth Ring Scanner
Imaging
The imager uses imaging technology to take a picture of a barcode, stores the resulting image in its
memory, and executes state-of-the-art software decoding algorithms to extract the bar code data from the
image. With a 2D imager, the device 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 and dot aiming for easy point-and-shoot operation.
Digital Camera
NOTE: The integrated camera is intended for light-duty barcode scanning. For heavy-duty scanning, 100
or more scans per day, use the 2D imager.
The device with an integrated camera based barcode scanning solution has the following features:
• Omnidirectional reading of a variety of barcode symbologies, including the most popular linear, postal,
QR, PDF417, and 2D matrix code types.
• Cross-hair reticle for easy point-and-shoot operation.
• Picklist mode to decode a particular barcode from many in the field of view.
The solution uses the advanced camera technology to take a digital picture of a barcode, and executes
state-of-the-art software decoding algorithms to extract the data from the image.
On camera only devices without an internal scan engine, the back camera is used for barcode scanning.
When the front camera is used by an app, such as for indoor locationing, the back camera becomes
disabled and cannot be used for barcode scanning.
