To scan barcodes:
1. Open your application. Place the cursor where you want to enter data.
2. Press the trigger button to scan a barcode. Make sure the laser beam extends across the
entire width of the barcode.
For example, try scanning the following barcode:
IMPORTANT! Print out this page to scan the barcode. Do not scan it onscreen.
After data is read and sent to the computer, by default the CHS will beep once, the
LED will flash green, and the beam will turn off. The CHS 7NRx and 7P will also
vibrate to indicate that data is read. You can use the Command Barcodes
to modify
the beep / LED / vibrate settings.
By default, a carriage return is applied after scanned barcode data is entered. To
disable the automatic carriage return, you can use the Command Barcodes
(use the
Data Editing barcode for disabling suffixes).
If no data is read in a few seconds, the beam will turn off, and you must try again.
To Disconnect:
To disconnect, turn off the CHS. Press and hold the power button for at least 3 seconds,
until the CHS beeps twice (high-low) and the blue LED turns off.
After the iPad disconnects from the CHS, the soft keyboard will automatically
reappear within a few seconds.
