Barcode Scanning 10—5
Scan Demo App
The Janam XG4 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 XG4 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 XG4’s three 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.
