Scanner Firmware Gen1

This section describes features introduced or enhanced on Scanner Firmware Gen1 used by MARK Basic, MARK Display and MARK 2 scanners.

September 2024 - 2.17.0

With autumn approaching and everyone back at work at full speed, we're reducing the heat on our wearable scanners by enhancing their capabilities and performance, making them smarter, more responsive and even more delightful to use.

  • New screens for MARK Display during Photo Reporting sessions - While taking photos with our MARK Display scanners, users now have new screens guiding them through the steps they need to take and informing them of the current process state. Check your scanner's display for information on when to trigger your MARK Display to capture an image, and confirmation on whether the photo was successfully sent to the INSIGHT webportal or not. See here for more details on Photo Reporting.

  • Configurable BLE advertising channels - In environments that have multiple connectivity points and heavy wireless traffic, certain signals can interfere with each other and impact sensitive devices using the 2.4GHz band. To avoid this, we made the BLE advertising channels configurable and our Device configurations allow you to disable one of the three BLE advertising channels as needed. Check the Scanner settings tab within your Device configuration and visit this page for more information.

  • Triple-click trigger function enabled for all ProGlove scanners - With the goal of constantly enhancing the capabilities of our scanners and adding even more options to successfully utilize them across all of your shop floor processes, we have enabled a triple-click trigger function. This is a solution for all cases where the double-click trigger is already used within an existing process. Additionally, it allows workers to have more interactions with their system while only using the scanner and its Index Trigger. The functionality is enabled by default but can be disabled in the Scanner settings tab within your Device configuration when needed.

Always ensure all your devices are equipped with the latest firmware. Download any of the available assets from the INSIGHT webportal Downloads page, or apply them seamlessly using the Zero-Touch Firmware update and Remote update functionalities.
