Data Capture 5 - 3
Imager Scanning
To read a bar code, a scan-enabled application is required. The TC75 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 TC75 and a text field is in focus (text cursor in text field).
2. Point the exit window on the top of the TC75 at a bar code.

3. Press and hold the scan button.
The red laser 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 Scanning procedures depend on the application and TC75 configuration. An application may use different
scanning procedures from the one listed above.
NOTE When the TC75 is in Picklist mode, the imager does not decode the bar code until the crosshair or aiming
dot touches the bar code.
