Reading Bar Codes

The area imager is equipped with a laser pointer to help you aim at bar
codes, allow you to read 2D bar code symbologies, and support
omni-directional (360°) scanning. Omni-directional scanning lets you
position the CN50 in any orientation to read a bar code label.
This section describes how to use the CN50 imager to read bar codes.
