Chapter 8 - Imaging Commands
The scanner is like a digital camera in the way it captures, manipulates, and transfers images.
The following commands allow you to alter the way the scanner performs these functions.
Note: If you are using the scanner in a stand, you must set the In-Stand Sensor Mode to Off in
order to take images (see
In-Stand Sensor Mode ).
Single-Use Basic
Imaging Commands with their modifiers send instructions to the scanner on a single-use basis,
and take effect for a single image capture. Once that capture is complete, the scanner reverts
to its imaging default settings. If you want to permanently change a setting, you must use the
serial default commands (see
Chapter 11 ). When the serial default command is used, that
selection becomes the new, permanent setting for the scanner.
Command Syntax
Multiple modifiers and commands can be issued within one sequence. If additional modifiers
are to be applied to the same command, just add the modifiers to that command. For example,
to add 2 modifiers to the Image Snap command, such as setting the Imaging Style to 1P and
the Wait for Trigger to 1T, you would enter
IMGSNP1P1T.
Note: After processing an image capture command (IMGSNP or IMGBOX), you must follow it
with an IMGSHP command if you want to see it on your terminal.
To add a command to a sequence, each new command is separated with a semicolon. For
example, to add the Image Ship command to the above sequence, you would enter
IMGSNP1P1T;IMGSHP.
The imaging commands are:
Image Snap - IMGSNP
Image Ship - IMGSHP
Intelligent Signature Capture - IMGBOX
The modifiers for each of these commands follow the command description.
Note: The images included with each command description are examples only. The results you
achieve may be different from those included in this manual. The quality of the output you
receive will vary depending on lighting, quality of the initial image/object being captured, and
distance of the scanner from the image/object. To achieve a high quality image, it is
recommended that you position your scanner 4-6" (10.2-15.2 cm) away from the image/object
you are capturing.
Image Snap - IMGSNP
An image is taken whenever a trigger command is sent, or when the Image Snap (IMGSNP)
command is processed. Image Snap is the command processor for image capture, or taking a
picture.
The image snap command has many different modifiers that can be used to change the look of
the image in memory. Modifiers always begin with numbers and end with a letter (case
insensitive). Any number of modifiers may be appended to the IMGSNP command. For
