14 Barcode Scanning
To use the barcode scanning function an optional barcode scanning license is required. See the
Configuration Manual, Ascom Myco Smartphone for instructions on how to add licenses to a
handset.
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.
Third-party scanning apps must be developed using the Myco Barcode Scanning API. See https://
www.ascom-ws.com/AscomPartnerWeb/en/startpage/Developers/Development-centers/Android-
APPs/ on the Ascom Partner Web for instructions on how to develop apps for the handset.
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.
