Sample IDC Setup

Connect a scanner equipped with IDC to the host computer's USB port.

To set the scanner to the default settings and proper USB host type, scan

Set Defaults

followed by the

Symbol Native API (SNAPI) with Imaging Interface

barcode. Allow time for the scanner to reset and the USB connection to remunerate after each scan before continuing.

Start the sample application and select the scanner in the

SNAPI Scanners

drop-down menu.

Set parameters as specified in IDC Demonstrations using the sample application or by scanning parameter barcodes in this guide. The barcode in the sample form is Code 128, which is enabled by default for decoding and as a Document Capture symbology. You can change these settings for your IDC application.

Perform each demo. When scanning, aim the scanner at the barcode in the center of the rectangle. Pull the scanner back so the rectangle is fully contained in the aiming pattern. When you pull the trigger, the scanner emits a low tone to indicate that the IDC firmware identified and captured an image, then a decode beep to indicate that the data transmitted. There may be several seconds between the two beeps, depending on the size of the captured image and options selected (de-skew, brighten, etc). You can move the scanner after the first beep, but continue the hold the trigger or the scanner may end the session before sending the data.
