CHAPTER 7 - IMAGING COMMANDS
The scanner is like a digital camera in the way it captures, manipulates, and transfers images.
The following commands allow you to alter the way the scanner performs these functions.
Single-Use Basis
Imaging Commands with their modifiers send instructions to the scanner on a single-use
basis, and take effect for a single image capture. Once that capture is complete, the scanner
reverts to its imaging default settings. If you want to permanently change a setting, you must
use the serial default commands (see Chapter 9). When the serial default command is used,
that selection becomes the new, permanent setting for the scanner.
Command Syntax
Multiple modifiers and commands can be issued within one sequence. If additional modifiers
are to be applied to the same command, just add the modifiers to that command. For
example, to add 2 modifiers to the Image Snap command, such as setting the Imaging Style to
1P and the Wait for Trigger to 1T, you would enter IMGSNP1P1T.
Note:
After processing an image capture command (IMGSNP), you must follow it with an IMGSHP
command if you want to see it on your terminal.
To add a command to a sequence, each new command is separated with a semicolon. For
example, to add the Image Ship command to the above sequence, you would enter
IMGSNP1P1T;IMGSHP.
The imaging commands are:
Image Snap - IMGSNP (page 145)
Image Ship - IMGSHP (page 149)
The modifiers for each of these commands follow the command description.
Note:
The images included with each command description are examples only. The results you
achieve may be different from those included in this manual. The quality of the output you
receive will vary depending on lighting, quality of the initial image/object being captured, and
