Taking Pictures with the M6
The M6 is a 2D imager barcode scanner. This means that it takes a picture, then searches the image for a viable barcode and then outputs the data in that barcode. Consequently the device supports an interface where raw picture data can be streamed from the device, which can be useful in a number of situations.
