DYNAMIC DATA CAPTURE DEVICE CONFIGURATION

Abstract:

A method of dynamically configuring a data capture device includes: at a data capture controller, responsive to enabling a configuration mode, controlling a data capture assembly of the data capture device to initiate a data capture operation to capture a barcode; at the data capture controller, determining a symbology of the captured barcode based on a master set of symbology definitions; at the data capture controller, updating an active subset of the master set of symbology definitions to include the determined symbology; at the data capture controller, responsive to disabling the configuration mode, decoding subsequently captured barcodes based only on the active subset of symbology definitions.
