10 TC51 Touch Computer
Scanning
To read a bar code, a scan-enabled application is required. The TC51 contains the DataWedge application that allows the user to
enable the imager, decode the bar code data and display the bar code content.
1. Ensure that an application is open on the TC51 and a text field is in focus (text cursor in text field).
2. Point the exit window on the top of the TC51 at a bar code.

3. Press and hold the scan button.
The red LED aiming pattern turns on to assist in aiming.
4. Ensure the bar code is within the area formed by the crosshairs in the aiming pattern. The aiming dot is used for increased
visibility in bright lighting conditions.

NOTE When the TC51 is in Picklist mode, the imager does not decode the bar code until the crosshair or aiming dot touches the bar
code.
