Data Capture

The ET1 offers the following data capture options:
• Scanning Module
• Scanning/MSR Module
• integrated digital camera
• optional CS3070 Bluetooth laser scanner.
DataWedge is installed and enabled on the ET1 by default.

3.1 Scanning Modules

The ET1 with an integrated Scan Module has the following features:
• Omnidirectional reading of a variety of bar code symbologies, including the most popular linear, postal, PDF417,
and 2D matrix code types.
• Advanced intuitive laser aiming cross-hair for easy point-and-shoot operation.
The modules uses digital camera technology to take a digital picture of a bar code, stores the resulting image in its
memory, and executes state-of-the-art software decoding algorithms to extract the data from the image.

3.1.1 Operational Modes

The device with an integrated imager supports two modes of operation, listed below. Activate each mode by
pressing a scan button.
• Decode Mode: In this mode, the device attempts to locate and decode enabled bar codes within its field of view.
The imager remains in this mode as long as the user holds the scan button, or until it decodes a bar code.
To enable Pick List Mode, configure in DataWedge.
• Pick List Mode: This mode allows the user to selectively decode a bar code when more than one bar code is in
the device's field of view. To accomplish this, move the aiming crosshair over the required bar code to decode
only this bar code. This feature is ideal for pick lists containing multiple bar codes and manufacturing or transport
labels containing more than one bar code type (either 1D or 2D).
