MK3100 Mounting on page 2-6.
Developer Kits
The following developer kits are available for the MK3100:
•
EMDK for C (see Enterprise Mobility Developer Kit (EMDK) for C on page 5-1) for developing native
C/C++ applications
•
RhoElements (see RhoElements on page 5-2) for web development
•
EMDK for .NET (see Enterprise Mobility Developer Kit (EMDK) for .NET on page 5-2) for developing
managed .NET applications in C# or VB.NET.
Bar Code Decoding
Symbol
Aiming Pattern
1D bar code
2D bar code
The MK3100 decodes any traditional retail 1D or 2D bar code presented in its field of view.
Imaging with the MK3100
When imaging, the MK3100 projects a red aiming dot whic h allows positioning the bar code within its field of
view. Ensure the bar code is within the decode range and and that the aiming dot is centered on the bar code .
The MK3100 beeps to indicate a successful decode.
MK3100 Introduction 1 - 7
Figure 1-3
Imaging with the MK3100
Positioning the Symbol
To decode a symbol, center the aiming dot on the symbol, in any orientation.

The MK3100 can also decode with the aiming dot on a symbol but not centered. The top examples in
Figure 1-5 show acceptable aiming options, while the bottom examples may not decode.
Figure 1-5
Acceptable and Incorrect Aiming
The aiming dot is smaller when the symbol is closer to the MK3100 and larger when it is farther away. Scan
symbols with smaller bars or elements (mil size) closer to the MK3100, and those with lar ger bars or eleme nts
(mil size) farther from the MK3100.
