Imager decoding usually occurs instantaneously. The device repeats the steps required to take a digital picture (image) of a poor or difficult barcode as long as the scan button remains pressed.
To scan with the internal imager:
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.
Ensure the barcode is within the area formed by aiming pattern.
The Scan/Custom LED light green and a beep sounds, by default, to indicate the barcode was decoded successfully.
Release the scan button.
The barcode content data appears in the text field.
