THE SCANNER

Use this chapter to understand how to scan bar codes and how to configure the
scanner.
The Scanner
The internal scanner can read 1D and 2D bar code symbologies, composite
symbologies, and postal codes. It also supports omni-directional scanning for
greater flexibility in real-world settings. The image engine can also capture black
and white images, such as signatures and pictures of damaged inventory.
Warning: Do not stare into the imager laser aimer.

How to Scan Bar Codes as Keyboard Input

The scan wedge feature sends scanned bar code data to an active application as
Android keypad input. To scan a bar code as keyboard input, open an application
that accepts text input and then scan a bar code. By default, scan wedging is
enabled on the computer.
You can use applications that are coded to use the scanner or applications that
receive data through the scan wedge feature. If an application claims the scanner
through the BarcodeReader API, the scan wedge feature is temporarily disabled.
You can find information on how to create custom applications for the computer in
the Software Development Kit (SDK) available for download at
