User Manual
Janam Technologies LLC Version 2, April 2020
Barcode Scanning 9—5
Scan Demo App
The XT200 comes preloaded with the
Scan Demo
app that demonstrates scanning features of the
device. Note that a special Scanner SDK is available for the development of custom scanning appli-
cations (inquire with your Janam sales representative).
Launch the
Scan Demo
from the
Demos Folder
. Position the XT200 over one of the
sample bar
codes
on this page. A range of 4–10 inches (10–25 cm) from the bar code is recommended. To
scan, pull the XT200’s scan trigger button on the handle or tap “Scan start” on the ScanDemo screen
Aim the barcode imager beam at the target barcode. The aiming dot should be centered in the bar
code to achieve quickest and most accurate decoding. When the bar code is successfully decoded,
the terminal beeps, announcing either a good or a bad scan. In addition, a blue LED flash indicates
a good read, an orange one a bad read.
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.
