3 - 2 TC8000 User Guide
Laser Scanning
The TC8000 with laser scanner has the following features:
• Reading of a variety of bar code symbologies, including the most popular linear, postal, and 1-D code types.
• Intuitive aiming for easy point-and-shoot operation.
Imaging
The TC8000 with an integrated imager has the following features:
• Omnidirectional (360°) reading of a variety of bar code symbologies, including the most popular linear, postal,
PDF417, and 2D matrix code types.
• The ability to capture and download images to a host for a variety of imaging applications.
• Advanced intuitive laser aiming for easy point-and-shoot operation.
The imager 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 TC8000 with an integrated imager supports three modes of operation, listed below. Activate each mode
pressing the Scan button.
• Decode Mode: In this mode, the TC8000 attempts to locate and decode enabled bar codes within its field of
view. The imager remains in this mode as long as you hold the scan button, or until it decodes a bar code.
• Pick List Mode: This mode allows you to selectively decode a bar code when more than one bar code is in
the TC8000’s field of view. To accomplish this, move the aiming crosshair center dot over the required bar
code to decode only that 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).
• Image Capture Mode: Use this mode to capture an image within the TC8000’s field of view. This is useful for
capturing signatures or images of items like damaged boxes.
Digital Camera
The device with an integrated camera based bar code scanning solution has the following features:
• Omnidirectional reading of a variety of bar code symbologies, including the most popular linear, postal, QR,
PDF417, and 2D matrix code types.
