Using the Barcode Scanner (Optional)
NOTE:
 For enhanced applications and customization of the module, you can use the
Barcode Manager program. (For detailed information on the program, see the
program’s online help.)
 The maximum operating temperature for the barcode scanner is 50 °C (122 °F).
If your model has the barcode scanner module, you can scan and decode most common
1D and 2D symbologies.
To read barcodes:
1. Start your processing software and open a new or existing file. Place the insertion
point (or called cursor) where you want the data to be entered.
2. Press the Trigger button (P4) on your Tablet PC.
3. The barcode scanner shines red light with a center red dot. Aim the red dot at the
center of the barcode. The red light should cover the entire barcode. Adjust the
lens’ distance from the barcode, shorter for a smaller barcode and farther for a
larger one.
NOTE: Improper ambient light and scanning angle can affect the scanning results.
4. Upon a successful scan, the system beeps and the decoded barcode data is
entered.
