Scanning

Scanning with Internal Imager
To read a barcode, a scan-enabled app is required. The device contains the DataWedge app that allows the user to enable the imager, decode the barcode data, and display the barcode content.
To scan with the internal imager:

1. Ensure that an app is open on the device and a text field is in focus (text cursor in text field).

2. Point the exit window at the desired barcode.

3. Press and hold the scan button.
   The white laser aiming pattern turns on to assist in aiming.
   NOTE: When the device is in Picklist mode, the imager does not decode the barcode until the cross-hair or aiming dot touches the barcode.

4. Ensure the barcode is within the area formed by the cross-hairs in the aiming pattern.

   Figure 2 Pick List Mode with Multiple Barcodes

5. The Data Capture LED lights green and a beep sounds, by default, to indicate the barcode was decoded successfully.

6. Release the scan button.

7. The barcode content data displays in the text field.

Ergonomic Considerations

When scanning barcodes, please use a comfortable posture.
Optimal Posture
