Chapter 3 Data Capture
Introduction
The MC45 offers two types of data capture options:
•
Laser scanning
•
Color digital camera.
The MC45 contains the
DataWedge
application that allows user to enable the camera, decode the bar code data
and display the bar code content. To enable

Laser Scanning
An MC45 with an integrated laser scanner has the following features:
•
Reading of a variety of bar code symbologies, including the most popular 1-D code types.
•
Intuitive aiming for easy point-and-shoot operation.
•
Adaptive Scanning.
Scanning Considerations
Typically, scanning is a simple matter of aim, scan, and decode and a few quick trial efforts master it. However,
consider the following to optimize scanning performance:
•
Range
Any scanning device decodes well over a particular working range — minimum and maximum distances from
the bar code. This range varies according to bar code density and scanning device optics.
Scanning within range brings quick and dependable decodes; scanning too close or too far away prevents
decodes. Move the scanner closer or further away to find the right working range for the bar codes being
scanned.
•
Angle
Scanning angle is important for promoting quick decodes.
