Image Commands Help File

If you send the IMGCMD command to the imager, the imager sends out an ASCII
“help file” that describes the available imager capture commands. Explanations
of the most commonly used imager capture commands follow.

Image Ship

An image is taken whenever the trigger of the IT4410/4710 is depressed. The
last image is always stored in memory. You may “ship” the image by using the
IMGSHP command. The image ship command has many different modifiers that
can be used to change the look of the image that is output by the scanner. The
default image file format used by IMGSHP is a gray scale KIM.
