Scanning
The terminal has an integrated scanner which allows you to collect data by scanning one
or two-dimensional bar codes. See Appendix B, Demo Program for a sample scanning
application.
To scan bar codes:
1. Ensure that your terminal is loaded with a scanning application.
2. Aim the scan exit window at the bar code.
3. Press either the right or left scan trigger. Make sure the red scan beam covers the
entire bar code. The green scan LED lights and a beep sounds to indicate a
successful decode.
