Using Demos
Optimus 5900 RFID Demos are software utilities loaded on all Optimus 5900 RFID terminals that demonstrate the advanced features of the terminal. There are two demos that feature the image engine: Image Demo and Scan Demo.
To access these demos, tap Start > Programs > Demos.
•Select Scan Demo to verify decoding, or
•Select Image Demo to verify imaging.
Decoding
The Optimus 5900 RFID terminal supports two types of image decoding:
ALD provides fast reading of linear (1D) and stacked linear bar codes (PDF417). For the best read, the aiming pattern should be centered horizontally across the bar code. When ALD is enabled, the reader does not read matrix or postal codes.
To Decode a Bar Code
1.Tap Start > Programs > Demos > Scan Demo.2.Position the Optimus 5900 RFID terminal over one of the sample bar codes on page
3.Project the aiming brackets by pressing and holding the Scan key. The Scan LED lights red.
4.Center the aimer crosshair over the bar code. The aiming beam should be oriented in line with the bar code to achieve optimal decoding;
5.When the bar code is successfully decoded, the decode LED lights green and the terminal beeps.
Sample Bar Codes
You can use the following bar codes to verify decoding:
