The parameters in this section control image capture characteristics.
Image capture occurs in all modes of operation, including decode, video,
and snapshot.
The decoder has three modes of operation:
Decode
Mode
Snapshot Mode
• Snapshot with Viewfinder Mode
Video Mode.
Decode Mode
By default, upon a trigger event, the decoder attempts to locate and decode
enabled bar codes within its field of view. The decoder remains in this mode as
long as the trigger is active or until a bar code is decoded.
Snapshot Mode
Use Snapshot Mode to capture a high-quality image and transmit it to the host.
To temporarily enter this mode scan the Snapshot Mode bar code. While in this
mode the decoder blinks the green LED at 1-second intervals to indicate it is
not in standard operating (decode) mode.
In Snapshot Mode, the decoder turns on the laser aiming pattern to highlight
the area to be captured in the image. The next trigger event instructs the
decoder to capture a high quality image and transmit it to the host. A short time
may pass (less than 2 seconds) between when the trigger is activated and the
image is captured as the decoder adjusts to the lighting conditions. Hold the
decoder steady until the image is captured, denoted by a single beep.
If a trigger event is not activated within the Snapshot Mode Timeout period,
the device returns to Decode Mode. Use
Snapshot Mode Timeout to adjust
this timeout period. The default timeout period is 30 seconds.
To disable the laser aiming pattern during Snapshot Mode, see
Snapshot
Aiming Pattern .
Use
Video View Finder to enable Snapshot with Viewfinder Mode. In this
mode the decoder behaves as a video camera until the trigger is active, at
which time a Snapshot is performed as described above.
