CHAPTER
USE THE IMAGE ENGINE
3
Use this chapter to understand how to scan bar codes, configure the scan settings,
and capture images using the integrated image engine in the computer.
About the Image Engine
The Dolphin CT40 series offers three Honeywell high-performance imager options:
• N6603 Slim Imager Engine
• N3601 Imager Engine
• N6703 Ultra-Slim, Uncoded 2D Imager
You can use the image engine in the computer as a scanner or camera.
Use the imager as a scanner to read 1D and 2D bar code symbologies, composite
symbologies, and postal codes. It also supports omni-directional scanning for
greater flexibility in real-world settings. By default, the scanner feature is enabled
and uses the default scan profile. You can modify the Default Profile or create new
profiles for custom applications from the Settings > Honeywell Settings >
Scanning.
Use the imager as a camera to capture black and white images, such as signatures
or pictures of damaged inventory.
Note: Instead of using the internal imager, you can also use Bluetooth communications to
connect the computer to an external scanner, such as the Granit™ 1981i and 1911i.
About the Scan Wedge Feature
The scan wedge feature sends scanned bar code data to an active application as
Android keypad input. To scan a bar code as keyboard input, open an application
that accepts text input and then scan a bar code. You can use applications that are
coded to use the scanner or applications that receive data through the scan wedge
feature. If an application claims the scanner through the BarcodeReader API, the
scan wedge feature is temporarily disabled.
