Understanding the Desktop

The Start screen has two distinct areas: the desktop and the taskbar. The desktop displays shortcuts to some of the applications installed on the CN2G. The first time you turn on the CN2G, the taskbar displays the Start menu icon, the time, the keyboard icon, and the desktop icon.

Most of the default shortcuts on the desktop are standard Windows CE applications. However, Intermec provides shortcuts to two additional applications: ScanDemo and Transcriber. ScanDemo is a simple application you can use to verify that your imager is working correctly. Transcriber enables you to write on the screen with your stylus, and then it converts your writing to text.

Using ScanDemo

ScanDemo is an application that enables the CN2G to read bar code labels and display the information encoded on the label along with the symbology used to encode it.

To open ScanDemo
