?*** Product evolution *** Image capture

Image capture feature has been added on RoadRunners & DualRunners 2D versions (BRR-FS & BDR-FS). The captured picture will be transmitted in real-time to the connected host.

There are two (2) ways to take a picture

  • Sending a Bluetooth command (via BaracodaManager plugin ?Picture? or SDKs)
  • Scan a ?take picture? barcode. The beam will be switched ON. Trigger press will take the picture

Feature supported from FW v.1.48.
Note : do not forget to scan 2D configuration barcode available on readme.pdf file provided with fw.

?*** Product evolution *** Signature capture

Signature capture feature has been added on RoadRunners & DualRunners 2D versions (BRR-FS & BDR-FS). The captured picture will be transmitted in real-time to the connected host.
           
To use that feature, scanner must be configured to detect a reference barcode which will launch the picture analyze to extract the right ?Signature Image? area.

Obviously, if the configured ?signature image? area is not included in the captured image (when the reference barcode is scanned), the scanner cannot extract this pre-defined area and emits a wrong beep.

Feature supported from FW v.1.48.
Note : do not forget to scan 2D configuration barcode available on readme.pdf file provided with fw.
