About the Imager
The CS40 uses an area imager to perform these tasks:
• Read bar codes, including 1D, 2D, and composite symbologies and
postal codes.
• Capture signatures. Use the imager to “photograph” signatures on
business forms, or to capture onscreen signatures or line drawings.
About Bar Codes
To easily enable or disable bar code symbologies, read one of the bar
codes in the table, “Symbology Bar Codes” on page73.
You can use EasySet to create configuration bar codes specific to your
system. You can download a free copy of EasySet from the CS40 web
page on the Intermec web site at www.intermec.com.
To develop an application you can use to configure the imager, use
the Data Collection Resource Kit. The resource kit is part of the
Intermec Developer Library (IDL) and can be downloaded from the
Intermec web site at www.intermec.com/idl.
Reading Bar Codes
Use the imager to scan 1D and 2D bar code symbologies, composite
symbologies, and postal codes. You can position the CN4 in almost
any orientation to scan a bar code label.
Note: When the Pictures & Videos application is running, you cannot
use the imager.
