Intelligent Signature Capture - IMGBOX

IMGBOX allows you to configure the size and location of a signature capture area relative to its proximity
to a barcode. This allows you to tailor a signature capture area to a specific form. In order to use IMG-
BOX, you need a set form where the signature box location is in a known location relative to a barcode.
You can input the overall size of the signature area, as well as specify how far the signature area is from
the barcode, vertically and horizontally. You can also set the resolution and file format for the final output
of the signature capture image.
Note: IMGBOX commands can only be triggered by one of the following types of barcodes: PDF417,
Code 39, Code 128, Aztec, Codabar, and Interleaved 2 of 5. Once one of these symbologies has
been read, the image is retained for a possible IMGBOX command.
The following IMGBOX example was executed and viewed using QuickView software. This software is
available at www.handheld.com. Click on Services and Support-Download Software. Select 4800dr
from the Products list, then select QuickView Software Utility.
Below is an example of a signature capture application. In this example, the aimer is centered over the
signature capture area and the trigger is pressed. A single beep is emitted, indicating that the imager
has read a Code 128 barcode and the data has been transferred to the host. An IMGBOX command
may now be sent from the host to specify the coordinates of the signature capture area below that code,
and indicating that only that area containing the signature should be transferred as an image to the host.
To see this example, align the aimer with the signature area (not with the barcode), then press the trig-
ger.
Send the following IMGBOX command string after the button push:
Note: Case is not important in the command string. It is used here only for clarity.
The following image is captured:
The IMGBOX commands have many different modifiers that can be used to change the size and appear-
ance of the signature image output by the document reader. Modifiers affect the image that is transmit-
ted, but do not affect the image in memory. Modifiers always begin with a number and end with a letter
(case insensitive). Any number of modifiers may be appended to the IMGBOX command.
Note: The IMGBOX command will return a NAK unless a window size (width and height) are specified.
