Scanning with the DS2278 Cordless Scanner
2D bar codes have made their way to the Point of Sale (POS), appearing on everything from customer
purchased items to printed and electronic coupons and loyalty cards. 1D scanners cannot capture the new 2D
codes, leading to exceptions that slow down the check-out process. The DS2278 digital imager scanner scans
both 1D and 2D bar codes and does not compromise performance or features.
Hand-Held Scanning

1. Pair the DS2278 with the device. See Pairing a Bluetooth Scanner on page 117
