Using Your Device's Camera as a Barcode Scanner
You can use your device's camera to scan barcodes and populate patient information fields.
You can save multiple barcode formats. See “Saving Barcode Formats” on page 85.
The first time you scan a barcode format, you must map the format to at least one patient
information field. Lumify remembers this information for subsequent barcode scans of the
same format.
The barcode you scan must meet the following conditions or Lumify will return an error:
• There is a delimiter between strings.
• The values must be unique.
• The delimiter is a non-alphanumeric, single character.
If you receive an error message, create a sample barcode where each field is a unique value and
follow the steps in the following procedure to scan and map the format.
You can scan in either portrait or landscape orientation.
1. On the Patient Info form, touch Scan Barcode .
2. If prompted, touch Allow to allow Lumify to use your device's camera.
3. Use the viewfinder to place the horizontal red line across the barcode. Make sure that the
entire barcode is included in the viewfinder, perpendicular to the red line. If sound is
enabled on your device, it beeps when Lumify scans the code.
4. If this is the first time you have scanned this barcode format, do the following:
a. Type a Format Nickname and touch Continue. Lumify displays the patient information
fields from the barcode.
b. In Barcode Configuration, drag the barcode text to the corresponding patient data
entry field (to adjust your selection, drag and . Alternatively, type the patient
information fields exactly as they appear in the displayed barcode result. Each field's
value must be unique (for example, you cannot enter the same value for the Last Name
and the First Name).
5. Touch Save.
