Code 39. The use of Code 128 or other more complex symbologies will almost always result in a reduction in maximum read distance. LXE will not support scanner maximum distances when symbologies other than Code 39 are used.
Page 121: Scan Indicator
Aim the Scanner aperture toward the barcode. Press the Scan button. Align the red beam so that the barcode is centered within the beam. The laser beam must cross the entire barcode. Move the MX3-CE towards or away from the barcode so that the barcode takes up approximately two-thirds the width of the beam.

Appendix C API Calls Introduction This appendix documents only the LXE-specific API calls for the MX3-CE. It is intended as an appendix to the standard Microsoft Windows CE API documentation. Details of many of the calls in this appendix to the MX3-CE Reference Guide may be found in Microsoft’s documentation.

Page 231: Serial Ports Api
Serial Ports API For the most part, all of the standard Win32 API calls for serial ports will work on the MX3-CE serial ports. If the scanner wedge is running, it will lock the ports it is configured to monitor, and will prevent those from being opened, since Windows CE lacks the ability to share serial ports.
