14 - 20 DS36X8 Digital Scanner Product Reference Guide
Quick Start
This section familiarizes you with some of the Intelligent Document Capture features. IDC Demonstrations on page
14-21 includes instructions to demonstrate the Anchored, Free-Form, and Linked modes using a sample form to
help provide an understanding of how to use IDC. These examples do not illustrate all capabilities of the advanced
IDC firmware. Build upon these using different parameter settings and forms.
Sample IDC Setup
To set up IDC with the decoder:
1. Connect a decoder equipped with the Intelligent Document Capture feature to the host computer's USB port.
2. To set the decoder to the default settings and proper USB host type, scan Set Defaults followed by the
Symbol Native API (SNAPI) with Imaging Interface barcode. Allow time for the decoder to reset and the
USB connection to remunerate after each scan before continuing.
3. Start the sample application and select the decoder in the SNAPI Scanners drop-down menu.
4. Set the parameters as specified in IDC Demonstrations on page 14-21 using the sample application or by
scanning parameter barcodes in this guide. The barcode in the sample form is Code 128, which is enabled by
default for decoding and as a Document Capture symbology. You can change these settings for your IDC
application.
5. Perform the list of suggestions in each demo. When scanning, aim the engine at the barcode in the center of
the rectangle. Pull the engine back so the rectangle is fully contained in the aiming pattern. When you pull the
trigger, the decoder emits a low tone to indicate that the IDC firmware identified and captured an image, then a
decode beep to indicate that the data is processed and transmitted. There may be several seconds between
the two beeps, depending on the size of the captured image and options selected (de-skew, brighten, etc). You
can move the decoder after the first beep, but continue the hold the trigger or the decoder may end the session
before sending the data.
