To read a barcode, a scan-enabled application is required. The device contains the DataWedge application, which allows you to enable the imager, decode the barcode data, and display the barcode content.
The SE55 displays a green dash-dot-dash aimer. The SE4710 imager displays a red dot aimer.
Ensure that an application is open on the device, and a text field is in focus (text cursor in text field).
Point the scanner exit window of the device at a barcode.
Press and hold the scan button.
The device projects the aiming pattern.
When the device is in Pick List Mode, the device does not decode the barcode until the center of the dot touches the barcode.
Ensure the barcode is within the area formed by the aiming pattern. The aiming dot is used for increased visibility in bright lighting conditions.
