Data Capture
Data Capture
The device supports data capture using an integrated scanner and Windows compatible Zebra Bluetooth
and USB scanners.
For information on pairing and scanning using Zebra scanners, go to the Product Reference Guide for your
scanner.
• Internal scanner (XPAD model only, built-in)
Imaging
The device with an integrated 2D imager has the following features:
• Omnidirectional reading of a variety of barcode symbologies, including the most popular linear, postal,
PDF417, Digimarc, and 2D matrix code types.
• Advanced intuitive laser aiming cross-hair and dot aiming for easy point-and-shoot operation.
The imager uses imaging technology to take a picture of a barcode, stores the resulting image in memory,
and executes state-of-the-art software decoding algorithms to extract the barcode data from the image.
Digital Camera
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.
Scanning Considerations
Typically, scanning is a simple matter of aim, scan, and decode, with a few quick trial efforts to master it.
However, consider the following to optimize scanning performance:
• Range— Scanners decode optimally over a particular working range — minimum and maximum
distances from the barcode. This range varies according to barcode density and scanning device
