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.

IMGSHP Modifiers
