Scanning with the Internal Camera

Scanning with the Internal Camera

Use the internal camera to capture barcode data.
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.
The integrated camera is intended for light-duty barcode scanning. For heavy-duty scanning, 100 or more scans per day, use the 2D imager.
When capturing barcode data in poor lighting, turn on Illumination mode in the DataWedge application.
To scan with the internal camera:
  1. Ensure that an app is open on the device and a text field is in focus (text cursor in text field).
  2. Point the camera window at a barcode.

    When Picklist mode is enabled, move the device until the barcode is centered under the target on the screen.
  3. Move the device until the barcode is visible on the screen.
    The Decode LED lights green, a beep sounds, and the device vibrates, by default, to indicate the barcode was decoded successfully.
    The captured data appears in the text field.
