Chapter 9. Using Barcode Reader

In the top of your device, a reader for barcode/2D code reading and decoding is built in, with which various types of barcode/2D code labels are decoded into readable information such as letters and numbers. Settings of barcode/2D code reader can be changed to fit your specific requests.

9.1Setting Barcode Reader

Changing Options in Barcode Reader

Barcode reader is set to be disabled by default, please remember to activate it before scanning.

1.Tap > Settings > System tab > Barcode Settings > Options tab. Check the check box of

Barcode reader or/and Keyboard hook.

When Keyboard hook is enabled, data is received as key message; when Keyboard hook is disabled, data is stored in the memory buffer temporarily. To retrieve the data, use specific software development kit (SDK) and compatible Windows application program interfaces (APIs). You can download the SDK from www.opticon.com.

2.In Read Mode, tap the upward/downward arrow to toggle between Multiple and Single. Multiple read mode enables constantly scanning while single read mode needs the reader to be triggered again to read another label.

3.In Buzzer , check the checkbox of Goodread sound. It enables the function of playing a sound effect after a barcode has been decoded successfully. You can change the sound effect by tapping the upward/downward arrow and playback the sound effect you choose by tapping the Sound button on the screen.

Keyboard hook can convert received characters to keyboard messages; therefore, you can read barcode in applications such as Notes, Tasks, Excel Mobile and Word Mobile as long as you enable the keyboard hook.
