Scanning with Integrated Camera
To capture bar code data:
NOTE: When capturing bar code data in poor lighting, turn on Illumination mode in the DataWedge app.
See the device Integrator Guide for detailed information on configuring DataWedge.
1. Ensure that an app is open on the device and a text field is in focus (text cursor in text field).
For example, open the web browser and touch the text field.
2. Aim the camera at a bar code.
3. Press and hold the Scan button. By default, a preview window appears on the screen. The Decode light
emitting diode (LED) lights red to indicate that data capture is in process.
NOTE: When Picklist mode is enabled, move the device until the bar code is centered under the red target
on the screen.
4. Move the device until the bar code is visible on the screen.
5. The Decode LED lights green, a beep sounds and the device vibrates, by default, to indicate the bar
code was decoded successfully.
6. The captured data appears in the text field.
