CHAPTER

USE THE IMAGE ENGINE
Use this chapter to understand how to scan barcodes, configure the scan settings,
and capture images using the integrated image engine in the tablet.
About the Image Engine
The ScanPal EDA71 series offers two Honeywell high-performance imager options:
• N3601 Imager Engine
• N6703 Ultra-Slim Imager Engine
Use the imager as a scanner to read 1D and 2D barcode symbologies, composite
symbologies, and postal codes. It also supports omni-directional scanning for
greater flexibility in real-world settings. By default, the scanner feature is enabled
and uses the default scan profile. You can modify the Default Profile or create new
profiles for custom applications from the Settings > Honeywell Settings >
Scanning.
Use the imager as a camera to capture black and white images, such as signatures
or pictures of damaged inventory.
About the Scan Wedge Feature
The scan wedge feature sends scanned barcode data to an active application as
Android keypad input. To scan a barcode as keyboard input, open an application
that accepts text input and then scan a barcode. You can use applications that are
coded to use the scanner or applications that receive data through the scan wedge
feature. If an application claims the scanner through the BarcodeReader API, the
scan wedge feature is temporarily disabled.
You can find information on how to create custom applications for the tablet in the
Software Development Kit (SDK) available for download from the Technical Support
Downloads Portal at https://hsmftp.honeywell.com. Once you create an account
and enter the portal, navigate to Software > Software and Tools > Developer
Library > SDKs for Android.
