User Manual
Janam Technologies LLC Version 1, March 2020
Barcode Scanning 9—5
Scan Demo App
The Janam XT3 comes preloaded with a
Scan Demo
app. Note that a special Scanner SDK is available
for the development of custom scanning applications (inquire with your Janam sales representative).
Launch the
Scan Demo
from the
Demos Folder
. Position the XT3 over one of the
sample barcodes
on this page. A range of 4–10 inches (10–25 cm) from the bar code is recommended. To scan, either
push one of the XT3’s two scanner buttons or tap the
Scan Start
button on the screen. Aim the
barcode imager beam at the target barcode. The aiming dot should be centered in the barcode to
achieve quickest and most accurate decoding. When the barcode is successfully decoded, the little
decode LED
in the upper lefthand corner flashes blue and the terminal beeps.
Upon a successful scan, the scanner decoder will report the symbology of the code as well as the
scan data. It will also report the success/failure rate, as well as read time data and statistics.
