Datasheet

4 - 6
The IRISPen will “auto-detect” the type of data that is being read. You can
for instance scan address labels where the printed data is complemented by a bar
code without ever changing the reading mode!
SCANNING TIPS
Let’s try and read some bar codes now! Use the I.R.I.S. bar code test sheet
to this end. Select the correct IRISPen settings, click the "OK" or "Minimize"
button to make the IRISPen application run in the background and start up any
text-based Windows application.
Try to maintain a straight line and constant speed during your scan. The line
guide on the view scanning window should be placed in the middle of the bar
code. The more regularly you scan, the better your chances are of recognizing
the bar code.
The greyscale image window shows the greyscale scan, the scan test window
shows the binarized image and executes the bar code reading. Use these image
windows to judge the quality of the images you produce and improve your scan-
ning skills by trying different angles and speeds of scanning.
