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