Theory of Operation

What occurs during image capture:
  1. The image sensor array in the embedded imaging engine captures an image of the barcode through the engine’s optical lens. If necessary, the engine automatically adjusts illumination, exposure, and other parameters to obtain the best quality image.
  2. The imaging engine sends the image to the CPU.
  3. The CPU processes the image to identify the target barcode(s), decodes them, and transmits the decoded data to the host.
