Scanning with Integrated Scanner

Use the integrated scanner 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.
Do not connect power to the USB-C port when scanning with the integrated scanner. The integrated scanner may stop functioning.
To scan with the integrated scanner:
  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 device at a barcode.
  3. Press and hold one of the triggers.

  4. Ensure the barcode is within the area formed by the aiming pattern.
    The aiming dot increases visibility in bright lighting conditions.

    When the Integrated Scanner is in Pick List mode, the device does not decode the barcode until the aiming dot touches the barcode.
