Introduction

About this Guide

This programming guide has been developed specifically for the Marathon optional add-on bar code decoder module. The
Marathon bar code decoder module contains a hybrid SE4400/SE4500 bar code decoding engine.
Technical Assistance is available if you need help when using the bar codes in this guide.
Bar code laser imagers are used to read and then decode the data in bar codes.
Bar code readers have many forms -- some are enclosed in a hand held device, others are an add-on, some others are
connected to a hand held device by a cable, some are connected to the hand held device wirelessly and a few bar code readers
are enclosed in a ring device that is worn on the finger and cabled to a body-worn device.
Configuration bar codes in this guide are designed for a specific type of bar code reader engine. Determining the type of bar
code reader engine for your Mobile Device is an important requirement before using it to scan a configuration bar code. If you
are unsure, contact your System Administrator for assistance.

Cautions and Warnings

It is good practice to avoid looking into the beam emitted by any scan beam aperture.
Do not connect the beam aperture to any other device, for example, a beam magnifier.
Class 2 laser scanners use a low power, visible light diode. As with any very bright light source, such as the sun, the user should
avoid staring directly into the light beam. Momentary exposure to a Class 2 laser is not known to be harmful.
