FEATURE – 1D BARCODE SCANNING Using the 1D Barcode Scanner The Infinea TAB 4 1D uses a scan engine that supports one-dimensional (1D) barcode symbols. The effective reading distance of the barcode reader varies depending on the barcode size. Scanning 1D Barcodes To scan a 1D barcode first activate the scanner. Then position the scan head as close to the barcode label as possible so that the scan line crosses both ends of the barcode as shown in the figure below.
FEATURE – 2D BARCODE SCANNING Using the 2D barcode Scanner The Infinea TAB 4 2D model uses a scan engine that supports one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) barcode symbols. The effective reading distance of the barcode reader varies depending on the barcode size. Scanning 2D Barcodes To scan a 2D barcode first activate the scanner. Then position the scan head so that the light green rectangle is aimed at the barcode and the barcode is within the width of the red illumination box.
FEATURE – MAGNETIC STRIPE READER Reading Magnetic Cards The Infinea TAB 4 has a built-in magnetic stripe reader. The card reader incorporates a (3) track magnetic read head requiring a single swipe to read field data from all three tracks. Swipe direction The magnetic read head faces outwards. When placing the card into the reader, the magnetic strip must be facing towards the iPad as shown in the figure below.
FEATURE – RFID CARDS Reading RFID Cards The Infinea TAB 4 has a built-in RFID tag/card reader. The RFID reader incorporates several RFID format depending on the model of your Infinea TAB 4.
