Activating the Engine
When a scanning application is open, press the Scan key to activate the image engine.
Using Demos
Optimus Demos are software utilities loaded on all Optimus terminals that demonstrate the advanced
features of the terminal. There are two Demos that feature the image engine: Image Demo and Scan
Demo.
To access these demos, select Start -> Programs -> Demos .
• Select Scan Demo to verify decoding, or
• Select Image Demo to verify imaging.
Decoding
The Optimus terminal supports two types of image decoding: full-area imaging and Advanced Linear
Decoding (ALD).
Full-area Imaging
With full-area imaging the Optimus terminal supports omni-directional aiming meaning that a
positive read can be obtained from many positions. For details, see
see Omni-Directional
Scanning Positions on page 6-4.
ALD
ALD provides fast reading of linear (1D) and stacked linear bar codes (PDF417). For the best
read, the aiming pattern should be centered horizontally across the bar code. When ALD is
enabled, the reader does not read matrix or postal codes.
To Decode a Bar Code
1. Select Start -> Programs -> Demos -> Scan Demo .
2. Position the Optimus terminal over one of the sample bar codes below.
A range of 4–10 inches (10–25 cm) from the bar code is recommended.
3. Project the aiming brackets by pressing and holding the Scan key. The Scan LED lights red
.
4. Center the aimer crosshair over the bar code. The aiming beam should be oriented in line with the
bar code to achieve optimal decoding;

5. When the bar code is successfully decoded, the decode LED lights green and the terminal beeps.
Sample Bar Codes
You can use the following bar codes to verify decoding:
