2.3 Scanning Barcode
To use the scanning function, complete the following steps:
1. If you have not already done so, remove the protective plastic film before using devices
equipped with a laser scanner.
Warning
Some AT570 come with laser scanners that scan using laser light. Never look directly into the
laser light or shine the laser light into the eyes.
2. Select Start > Programs > Scanner > AT1DScanner to open the scanning application. This
application runs in the background and only shows up as bar code icon in the system tray.
