Omnidirectional reading of a variety of bar code symbologies, including the most popular linear, postal, PDF417, and 2D matrix code types.
Advanced intuitive laser aiming cross-hair and dot aiming for easy point-and-shoot operation.

Digital Camera

NOTE: The integrated camera is intended for light-duty barcode scanning. For heavy-duty scanning, 100
or more scans per day, use the 2D imager.

Omnidirectional reading of a variety of barcode 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 barcode from many in the field of view.
The solution uses the advanced camera technology to take a digital picture of a barcode, and executes state-of-the-art software decoding algorithms to extract the data from the image.
71
On camera only devices without an internal scan engine, the back camera is used for barcode scanning. When the front camera is used by an app, such as for indoor locationing, the back camera becomes disabled and cannot be used for barcode scanning.

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 imaging technology to take a picture of a bar code, stores the resulting image in its memory, and executes state-of-the-art software decoding algorithms to extract the bar code data from the image.

Operational Modes

The device with an integrated imager supports two modes of operation, listed below. Activate each mode by pressing the Scan button.
Decode Mode: In this mode, the device attempts to locate and decode enabled barcodes within its field of view. The imager remains in this mode as long as the user holds the scan button, or until it decodes a barcode.
Data Capture
NOTE: To enable Pick List Mode, configure in DataWedge or set in an application using a API command.
Pick List Mode: This mode allows the user to selectively decode a barcode when more than one
barcode is in the device’s field of view. To accomplish this, move the aiming crosshair or dot over the required barcode to decode only this barcode. This feature is ideal for pick lists containing multiple barcodes and manufacturing or transport labels containing more than one barcode type (either 1D or 2D).
NOTE: To enable Basic MultiBarcode Mode, configure in DataWedge or set in an application using a API command.
Basic MultiBarcode Mode: In this mode, the device attempts to locate and decode a specific number of unique barcodes within its field of view. The device remains in this mode as long as the user holds the scan button, or until it decodes all the barcodes. Available on integrated SE2100 or SE4710 imagers only.
The device attempts to scan the programmed number of unique barcodes (from 2 through 10).
If there are duplicate barcodes (same symbology type and data), only one of the duplicate barcodes
is decoded and the remainder are ignored. If the label has two duplicate barcodes plus another two different barcodes, a maximum of three barcodes will be decoded from that label; one will be ignored as a duplicate.
Barcodes can be of multiple symbology types and still be acquired together. For example, if the
specified quantity for a Basic MultiBarcode scan is four, two barcodes can be symbology type Code 128 and the other two can be symbology type Code 39.
72
Data Capture
If the specified number of unique barcodes is not initially in view of the device, the device will not
decode any data until the device is moved to capture the additional barcode(s) or time out occurs. If the device field of view contains a number of barcodes greater than the specified quantity, the device randomly decodes barcode(s) until the specified number of unique barcodes is reached. For example, if the count is set to two and eight barcodes are in the field of view, the device decodes the first two unique barcodes it sees, returning the data in random order.
Basic MultiBarcode Mode does not support concatenated barcodes.

Scanning Considerations

Typically, scanning is a simple matter of aim, scan, and decode, with a few quick trial efforts to master it. However, consider the following to optimize scanning performance:
Range: Scanners decode best over a particular working range — minimum and maximum distances from the barcode. This range varies according to barcode density and scanning device optics. Scan within range for quick and constant decodes; scanning too close or too far away prevents decodes. Move the scanner closer and further away to find the right working range for the barcodes being scanned.
74
Angle: Scanning angle is important for quick decodes. When the illumination/flash reflects directly back into the imager, the specular reflection can blind/saturate the imager. To avoid this, scan the barcode so that the beam does not bounce directly back. Do not scan at too sharp an angle; the scanner needs to collect scattered reflections from the scan to make a successful decode. Practice quickly shows what tolerances to work within.
Hold the device farther away for larger symbols.
Move the device closer for symbols with bars that are close together.
NOTE: Scanning procedures depend on the app and device configuration. An app may use different
scanning procedures from the one listed above.

Scanning with Internal Imager

To read a barcode, a scan-enabled app is required. The device contains the DataWedge app that allows the user to enable the imager, decode the barcode data, and display the barcode content.
To scan with the internal imager:
1. Ensure that an app is open on the device and a text field is in focus (text cursor in text field).

Configuring for a Proxy Server

A proxy server is a server that acts as an intermediary for requests from clients seeking resources from other servers. A client connects to the proxy server and requests some service, such as a file, connection, web page, or other resource, available from a different server. The proxy server evaluates the request according to its filtering rules. For example, it may filter traffic by IP address or protocol. If the request is validated by the filter, the proxy provides the resource by connecting to the relevant server and requesting the service on behalf of the client.
It is important for enterprise customers to be able to set up secure computing environments within their companies, making proxy configuration essential. Proxy configuration acts as a security barrier ensuring that the proxy server monitors all traffic between the Internet and the intranet. This is normally an integral part of security enforcement in corporate firewalls within intranets.
