Scanning with the Terminal

The terminal has an integrated scanner which collects data by 
scanning bar codes. Refer to the PDT 8000 Series Product 
Reference Guide for information on configuring your terminal for 
scanning.

To scan bar codes with the terminal:

1. Launch the terminal’s scanning application. 

The scanning application is part of the Windows CE Software 
Developer’s Kit for Symbol Terminals, available at 
http://devzone.symbol.com. 

2. Aim the scanner at the bar code, as shown below (PDT 8056 

shown).

3. Press the scan trigger. Ensure the red scan beam covers the 

entire bar code. The green scan LED lights and a beep 
sounds to indicate a successful decode.

Resetting Your Terminal

If your terminal stops responding to input, reset it.

Performing a Soft Reset

A soft reset restarts the terminal and retains all stored records and 
entries. 

Caution:

Files open during a soft reset may not be retained.
DO NOT perform a soft reset if the terminal is suspend-
ed. Press the Power button to wake the terminal.
