Scannable Object

Description

Linear Barcode

An automatic identification technology that encodes information into a linear array of adjacent, varying width parallel-rectangular bars and spaces.

Two-Dimensional Barcode

An automatic identification technology that encodes information in two dimensions. Small geometric shapes represent the data in these barcodes. Two-dimensional barcodes store more information than linear barcodes in the same space.

Scanner Feature

Description

Soft Trigger

Allows the scan engine laser beam to be triggered from software. It is one-shot mode; the laser turns off when a barcode is scanned.

Beep on Fail

Hardware beeps on failed scan.

Beep on Read

Hardware beeps on successful scan.

Beep off

Disablesthe scanner’s hardware beep.

Scan Aware Mode

The application handles the scanned data through events. The scanning process generates events on data received and on error.
