Scanner SDK for Windows

Easily develop scanner applications for Windows operating systems

Today’s scanner applications need to do more than just handle bar code data. They need to support image capture, set parameters and upgrade firmware. Advanced users may need to support multiple applications running on one PC, communicating with more than one scanner. Motorola’s Scanner Software Development Kit (SDK) for Windows meets these needs and more.

With this ‘technology-agnostic’ toolkit, scanner applications can be created with just one development toolkit. Motorola’s Scanner SDK for Windows is compatible with multiple programming languages, multiple development environments and multiple communications protocols. So, no matter what scanners you have today or what you may purchase tomorrow, you can develop and deploy applications faster and more cost-effectively than ever before.

Key features and benefits include:

Control all aspects of all your Motorola scanners

Quickly and easily harness the powerful capabilities in all Motorola scanners
Control the data collection process, from bar code output mode to the capture and transmission of images, signatures and video
Take complete control of scanner feedback options, such as the LED beeper and aiming pattern
Determine if and when LED lights are illuminated, which color and for how long, and if and when scanners emit a beep
Comprehensive management functionality allows complete control of remote scanner management – loading settings, upgrading firmware, creating audit logs, access scanner’s asset tracking information
Identify scanner activity even if multiple scanners are connected to the same application
Cut development time and costs

Replaces four different development toolkits previously required for different development environments and scanner communication protocols
With the driver handling the communication details, one application can work with almost any Motorola scanner
Developers have less to learn with consolidated development toolkit
Simultaneously support multiple scanners and applications

Delivers unprecedented flexibility – eliminates the need for all applications on a given PC to use the same communication protocol
Ability to deploy a single driver to manage multiple scanners that utilize different communication protocols to talk to multiple applications
