Using the MC75 2 - 33

Data Capture
The MC75 offers three types of data capture options:
•
Linear scanning
•
Imaging
•
Digital camera.

Linear Scanning

MC75 with an integrated linear scanner have the following features:
•
Reading of a variety of bar code symbologies, including the most popular linear, postal, and 1-D code types.
•
Intuitive aiming for easy point-and-shoot operation.

Imaging

MC75 with an integrated imager have the following features:
•
Omnidirectional reading of a variety of bar code symbologies, includ ing the most popular linear, postal,
PDF417, and 2D matrix code types.
•
The ability to capture and download images to a host for a variety o f imaging applications.
•
Advanced intuitive laser aiming for easy point-and-shoot operation.
The imager uses digital camera technology to take a digital picture of a bar code, stores th e resulting image in its
memory, and executes state-of-the-art software decoding algorithms to extract the data from the image.
Operational Modes
MC75 with an integrated imager support three modes of operation, listed below. Activate each mode by pulli ng the
trigger or pressing the Scan button.
•
Decode Mode: In this mode, the MC75 attempts to locate and decode enabled bar codes within i ts field of
view. The imager remains in this mode as long as you hold the trigger, or until it decodes a bar cod e.
•
Pick List Mode: This mode allows you to selectively decode a bar code when more than one bar code is in
the MC75’s field of view. To accomplish this, move the aiming crosshair over the required bar code to decode
only this bar code. This feature is ideal for pick lists containing multiple bar codes and manufacturing or
transport labels containing more than one bar code type (either 1D or 2D).
•
Image Capture Mode: Use this mode to capture an image within the MC75’s field of view. This is useful for
capturing signatures or images of items like damaged boxes.
NOTE To perform data capture a scanning enabled application must be installed on the MC75. A sample scanning
application can be downloaded from the Motorola Support site at http://support.symbol.com.
NOTE To enable Pick List Mode, download the Control Panel appl et from the web site at http://support.symbol.com.
Pick List can also be set in an application using a API command.
