Using the Barcode Scanner (Optional)
NOTE:
For enhanced applications and customization of the module,
you can use the Barcode Manager program.
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 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: A 15° scan angle in 323 lux (30 foot-candles) ambient
light produces the best scanning results.
4. Upon a successful scan, the system beeps and the decoded barcode data is
entered.
