Using the Barcode Scanner
(Optional)
NOTE:
For enhanced applications and customization of the module, you can
use the Barcode Manager program. (For detailed information on the
program, see the program’s online help.)
The maximum operating temperature for the barcode scanner is 50
°
C
(122
°
F).
If your model has the barcode scanner module, you can scan and decode
most common 1D and 2D symbologies.
To read barcodes:
1.
Start your processing software and open a new or existing file. Place the
insertion point (or called cursor) where you want the data to be entered.
2.
Press the Trigger button (
P1
) on your Tablet PC.
3.
The barcode scanner shines red light with a center red dot. Aim the red
dot at the center of the barcode. The red light should cover the entire
barcode. Adjust the lens’ distance from the barcode, shorter for a smaller
barcode and farther for a larger one.
NOTE:
Improper ambient light and scanning angle can affect the scanning
results.
4.
Upon a successful scan, the system beeps and the decoded barcode data
is entered.
