Imaging
An MC75A with an integrated imager has the following features:
•
Omnidirectional 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.
NOTE
Scanning procedures depend on the application and MC75A configuration. An application may use different
scanning procedures from the one listed above.
