Barcode Capture with an Imager
To capture barcode data with the DS22X8 or DS81X8 imager:
1. Ensure that an application is open on the device and a text field is in focus (text cursor in text field).
2. Press and hold the trigger until either:
a. The imaging scanner reads the bar code. The imaging scanner beeps, the LED flashes, and the
scan line turns off.
or
b. The imaging scanner does not read the bar code and the scan line turns off.
Note that when the device is in Pick List Mode, the device does not decode the barcode until the center
of the illuminated line or dot touches the barcode.
