DsCameraScannerEPTest.exe (Virtual Comm Mode Demo App)
DsCameraScannerEPTest
is the preferred software application for demonstrating the optical scanner on
the EasyRead (DSV3-EP). It demonstrates the use of the camera scanner control in Virtual Com mode,
and it was designed for use with a DSV3 EP configured for Virtual Com mode. For the EasyRead
terminal, it is recommended to use this application instead of “
DsCameraScannerPSTest.exe
” (see 10.5)
since this application provides more functionality: illumination control, scan window size, and additional
document type and length of decoded data.
Virtual Com mode allows more software developer control over the scanner and more significantly, it
enables the reading of binary (non printable) data found often in 2D barcodes. This application can be
used to scan and decode documents having 1 dimensional bar codes, PDF-417 symbols, and other
optional OCRB text and 2D symbologies (see section 12.3). Unprintable characters will be substituted by
periods. The source code for this application is provided in the SDK for developer reference.
10.3.1
Operating Instructions
The basic operating instructions for this application are:
•
To initiate a manual scanning operation, press
F2
and hold it down until you hear a confirmation
beep (signifying that the symbology was scanned and decoded) is heard. The operator must
release
F2
key and depress it again to begin another scan.
•
The
F3
key will toggle between manual scanning mode as described above and an automatic
scanning mode that will retrigger again after a successful read was completed.
•
The operator can choose between different illumination sources by using the radio button at the
top of the screen.
•
The operator can also select the dimensions of the scan window by using the radio buttons in the
upper right side of the screen. The 1200 x 680 window should be used for almost all media.
•
Once a document has been scanned, the decoded results are displayed in the main window, and
other information about the document type / symbology, and the length of the decoded data is
shown in the lower right hand side the display.

DsCameraScannerHIDTest.exe (HID Mode Demo App)
DsCameraScannerHIDTest
is an application that demonstrates the use of the HID (Human Interface
Device / keyboard emulation) operation / control of the optical scanner in the mobile terminal. It was
designed for use with a DSV3 terminal equipped with an optical scanner that is configured to work in
HID keyboard emulation mode. It can be used with:
•
Point & Shoot Scanner in the EasyVerify (DSV3-SP)
•
Camera-Based Scanner in the EasyRead (DSV3-EP)
This application can be used to scan and decode documents having 1 dimensional barcodes, PDF-417
