Options of different reader combination ar e supported including 1D+RFID and 2D+RFID.
For each combination, both readers can be initialized and ready for scanning at the same
time (dual mode operation). For example, if you press the [SCAN] trigger while running
the preloaded AG runtime on the mobile computer, it will read a barcode in position or an
RFID tag in proximity depending on which one comes first.
Note: You can not have 1D +2D scan e ngines i nstalled on the mobile computer because
they are both barcode readers.
Varying by the reader type installed, the supported sym bologies or tag types a re listed
below:
1D CCD scan engine
1D Laser scan engine
1D Long Range Laser scan engine (LR)
2D scan engine

A w ide v ariety of scan en gines is av ailable f or deliv ering f lexibility t o meet dif ferent
requirements. Depending on the scan engine integrated, the mobile computer is capable
of scanning barcodes of a number of symbol ogies that are enabled by defa ult while
running the preloaded AG runtime. Refer to
3.3.1 Reader
for functional test.
If you need to scan barcodes that are encoded in a symbology that is disabled by default
in AG run time, FORGE Application Generator ( ForgeAG.exe) ca n help you configure
symbology settings and reader settings. First, ena ble the desired symbolog ies in FORGE
Application Generator, and then do wnload the appl ication setti ngs to the mobi le
computer.
Note: In AG or C ipherNet run time, n ot all of the symbologies are enabled by defa ult.
Instead of running any of them, you can develop your own applications to control
the scan engine for data collection. For d etails on c onfiguring reader and
symbology settings, please refer to the documentation of the software you use.
