14. Barcode Scanning
The handset is equipped with a professional barcode scanning functionality that can be used
to efficiently scan 1D and 2D barcodes, for example located on Patient ID wristbands and
medicine labels.
Scanning apps with various features and functionality can be used on the handset. Available
apps are selected by the system administrator.
1 In the App view, tap the barcode scanning app and follow the instructions to open up the
barcode scanning view.
2 Point the handset camera toward the barcode to scan. Use the display to verify that the
barcode is well within the barcode scanning app seeker window. The app continuously
scans for a barcode. A successful scan is indicated with a beep and a vibrating handset.
3 The result from a successful scan is displayed in the app. The actual functionality depends
on the app being used.
TIP: The app continuously scans for a barcode. If the scanner is unable to detect a barcode, try
to reposition the camera by moving it closer, or farther away from the barcode, or try scanning
in better light conditions.
