Procedure Steps
1
Ensure that an application is open on the MC40 and a text field is in focus (text cursor in text field).
2
Aim the exit window at a bar code.
3
Press and hold the Right Scan/Action button. The red laser aiming pattern turns on to assist in aiming. Ensure
that the bar code is within the area formed by the aiming pattern. The Left and Right LEDs light red to indicate
that data capture is in process.

Data Capture

The Left and Right LEDs light green, a beep sounds and the MC40 vibrates, by default, to indicate the bar code
was decoded successfully. The captured data appears in the text field.
4.2 Profiles
DataWedge is based on profiles and plug-ins. A profile contains information on how DataWedge should behave
with different applications.
Profile information consists of:
• Associated application
• Input plug-in configurations
• Output plug-in configurations
• Process plug-in configurations.
Using profiles, each application can have a specific DataWedge configuration. For example, each user application
can have a profile which outputs scanned data in the required format when that application comes to the foreground.
DataWedge can be configured to process the same set of captured data differently based on the requirements of
each application.
