1.1 LYNX™ D DESCRIPTION
The Lynx™ D Hand-Held Reader packs a lot of performance into an attractive,
rugged, hand-held device. It operates in commercial and industrial environments as
well as the front office.
Omni-directional
Operating
To read a symbol or capture an image, you simply aim the
reader and pull the trigger. Since Lynx™ D is a powerful
omni-directional reader, the orientation of the symbol is not
important.
Decoding
Thanks to powerful algorithms, Lynx™ D reliably decodes all
major 1D (linear) barcodes, 2D stacked codes (such as
PDF417), 2D matrix symbols (such as DataMatrix), postal
codes (such as POSTNET, PLANET). The data stream —
acquired from decoding a symbol — is rapidly sent to the host.
The reader is immediately available to read another symbol.
Formatting and
Concatenating
The string of a decoded code may be processed according to
either a simple or advanced data formatting and be
concatenated to other codes (up to 4 different codes).
Imaging
Lynx™ D can also function as a camera by capturing entire
images or image portions of labels, signatures, and other
items. Two different control modes are available for managing
the camera exposure and calibration.
Autoscanning
An autoscan command causes the reader to scan
continuously and to monitor the central zone of its reading
area.
Flash Memory
Flash technology allows to upgrade the Lynx™ D reader as
new symbologies are supported or as improved decoding
algorithms become available.
