The unit is ready to accept data from either the physical keypad, virtual
keyboard, integrated scanner or a scanner connected to the serial port on
the cradle, if the scanner applet is configured correctly.
Read all cautions, warnings and labels before using the laser scanner.
To scan with the laser barcode reader, point the laser window towards a barcode
and press the Scan button. You will see a red laser beam strike the barcode.
Align the red beam so that the barcode is centered within the beam. The laser
beam must cross the entire barcode. Move the MX5 towards or away from the
barcode so that the barcode takes up approximately two-thirds the width of the
beam.
The Scanner Active LED turns red when the laser beam is on. Following a
barcode scan and read the Scanner Active LED turns green for two seconds and
the MX5 beeps, indicating a successful scan.
The laser and Scanner Active LED automatically turn off after a successful or
unsuccessful read. The scanner is ready to scan again after the Scan key is
released, or after the green LED turns off following a successful scan.
