Imaging Commands
The document reader is like a digital camera in the way it captures, manipulates, and transfers images.
The following commands allow you to alter the way the document reader performs these functions.
Single-Use Basis
Imaging Commands with their modifiers send instructions to the document reader on a single-use basis,
and take effect for a single image capture. Once that capture is complete, the document reader reverts
to its imaging default settings. If you want to permanently change a setting, you must use the serial
default commands (see Chapter 2). When the serial default command is used, that selection becomes
the new, permanent setting for the document reader.
Command Syntax
Multiple modifiers and commands can be issued within one sequence. If additional modifiers are to be
applied to the same command, just add the modifiers to that command. For example, to add 2 modifiers
to the Image Snap command, such as setting the Imaging Style to 1P and the Wait for Trigger to 1T, you
would enter IMGSNP1P1T.
Note: After processing an image capture command (IMGSNP or IMGBOX), you must follow it with an
IMGSHP or IMGACP command if you want to see it on your terminal.
To add a command to a sequence, each new command is separated with a semicolon. For example, to
add the Image Ship command to the above sequence, you would enter IMGSNP1P1T;IMGSHP.
The imaging commands are:
Image Snap - IMGSNP (page 1-1)
Image Ship - IMGSHP (page 1-5)
Intelligent Signature Capture - IMGBOX (page 1-15)
The modifiers for each of these commands follow the command description.
Step 1 - Take a Picture Using IMGSNP
Image Snap - IMGSNP
An image is taken whenever the hardware button is pressed, or when the Image Snap (IMGSNP) com-
mand is processed.
The image snap command has many different modifiers that can be used to change the look of the
image in memory. Modifiers always begin with numbers and end with a letter (case insensitive). Any
number of modifiers may be appended to the IMGSNP command. For example, you can use the follow-
ing command to snap an image, increase the gain, and have the beeper sound once the snap is com-
plete:
IMGSNP2G1B

IMGSNP Modifiers
P - Imaging Style
This sets the Image Snap style.
0P Decoding Style. This processing allows a few frames to be taken until the exposure
parameters are met. The last frame is then available for further use.
1P Photo Style
(default). This mimics a simple digital camera, and results in a visually
optimized image.
2P Manual Style. This is an advanced style that should only be used by an experienced user.
It allows you the most freedom to set up the document reader, and has no auto-exposure.
B - Beeper
Causes a beep to sound after an image is snapped.
0B No beep
(default)
1B Sounds a beep when the image is captured.
T - Wait for Trigger
Waits for a hardware button push before taking the image. This is only available when using Photo
Style (1P).
0T Takes image immediately
(default)
1T Waits for a button push, then takes the image
L - LED State
Determines if the LEDs should be on or off, and when. Ambient illumination (0L) is preferred for taking
pictures of color documents, such as ID cards, especially when the document reader is in a stand.
LED illumination (1L) is preferred when the document reader is hand held. LED State is not available
when using Decoding Style (0P).
0L LEDs off
(default)
1L LEDs on
