Data Capture
The TC55 offers the following data capture options:
• integrated linear imager
• integrated digital camera
• optional CS3070 Bluetooth scanner
• optional RS507 Hands-free Bluetooth imager.
Note: DataWedge is installed and enabled on the TC55 by default.
Linear Imager
The device with an integrated linear imager has the following features:
• Reading a variety of bar code symbologies, including the most popular 1-D code types.
• Intuitive aiming for easy point-and-shoot operation.
The imager uses digital camera technology to take a digital picture of a bar code, stores the resulting image in its
memory, and executes state-of-the-art software decoding algorithms to extract the data from the image.
Digital Camera
The device with an integrated camera based bar code scanning solution has the following features:
• Omnidirectional reading of a variety of bar code symbologies, including the most popular linear, postal, QR,
PDF417, and 2D matrix code types.
• Cross-hair reticle for easy point-and-shoot operation.
• Picklist mode to decode a particular bar code from many in the field of view.
The solution uses the advanced camera technology to take a digital picture of a bar code, and executes state-of-the-art
software decoding algorithms to extract the data from the image.
CS3070 Bluetooth Scanner
The CS3070 Bluetooth laser scanner captures bar code data, and transmits it to the device via Bluetooth. The scanner
supports Bluetooth Human Interface Device (HID) connection to the device where the scanner emulates a keyboard.

RS507 Hands-Free Imager
The RS507 Hands-free Imager is a wearable bar code scan solution for both 1D and 2D bar code symbologies. The
scanner supports Bluetooth Human Interface Device (HID) connection to the device where the scanner emulates a
keyboard.

Scanning Considerations
Typically, scanning is a simple matter of aim, scan, and decode where a few quick trial efforts master it. However,
consider the following to optimize scanning performance:
• Range
- Any scanning device decodes well over a particular working range — minimum and maximum distances from
the bar code. This range varies according to bar code density and scanning device optics.
- Scanning within range brings quick and constant decodes; scanning too close or too far away prevents
decodes. Move the scanner closer and farther away to find the right working range for the bar codes being
scanned.
• Angle
