Scanner Support

The 700 Series Color Mobile Computer is available with imaging or laser

scanning technologies, including the following:

APS Linear Imager: (standard for 730 Computers)

— includes the EV10 Scan Engine

Reads 1D symbologies and PDF417 bar codes. Line a r imag-

ing using Vista Scanning technology reads low-contrast bar

codes, laminated bar codes, and bar codes displayed on CRT

or TRT displays. This imaging us es harmless LEDs for illu-

mination and does not require any warning labels. Vista Scan-

ning is more reliable than lasers as it is a completely s olid state

with no moving parts or oscillating mirrors.

2D Imager: (not supported on 730 Computers)

— include s the IT4000 Scan Engine

This decodes several stacked 1D and 2D symbologies, includ-

ing PDF417, Data Matrix, and MaxiCode with out “paint-

ing.” It can also read 1D codes from any orientation, for ex-

ample the scan beam does not nee d to align perpendicular to

the symbol to read it. Photography is a secondary application;

the lens in the device favors bar code reading. Photos are

640x480, 256 gray-scale.

1D Laser Scanner: (not supported on 730 Computers)

— includes the SE900, SE900HS, SE 900-S6, and

SE900HS-S6 scan engines

Traditional laser scanner that decodes 1D bar codes.

PDF417 Laser Scanner: (not supported on

730 Computers)

Higher speed laser scanner that can read PDF417 labels by

“painting” the label.

EL10 Laser Scanner An EXCELeratet bar code laser scan engi ne, based on the

Micro Electro Mechanical System (MEMS) technology, that

is s ignificantly faster, lighter, and more e fficient than tradi-

tional laser scanners.
