Chapter 9: Using the Barcode Reader
(8450 only)
The SpectraLink 8450 Wireless Handset is equipped with a barcode reader located at the top rear of the
handset. The barcode reader can read many different barcode symbologies including RSS, Stacked RSS,
RSS-14, GS1-DataBar, Code 39, Code 93, Code 128, and UPC.
You can use the barcode reader to input data in the following ways:
• Input scanned data into a Web application running on the handset, such as an application input
field.
• Input scanned data into an application running on a PC using the Polycom® Quick Barcode
Connector (QBC) program.

The red light comes on. Orient the red light so that it shines across the entire barcode symbol. The
