Imager Scanning
To read a bar code, a scan-enabled application is required. The device contains the DataWedge application
that allows the user to enable the imager, decode the bar code data and display the bar code content.
1. Ensure that an application is open on the device and a text field is in focus (text cursor in text field).
2. Point the exit window on the top of the device at a bar code.
Figure 25 Imager Scanning
TC72/TC77 Quick Start Guide
3. Press and hold the scan button.
The red laser aiming pattern turns on to assist in aiming.
NOTE: When the device is in Picklist mode, the imager does not decode the bar code until the crosshair or aiming dot touch-
es the bar code.
19
TC72/TC77 Quick Start Guide
4. Ensure the bar code is within the area formed by the crosshairs in the aiming pattern. The aiming dot is
used for increased visibility in bright lighting conditions.
Figure 26 Aiming Pattern
Figure 27 Pick List Mode with Multiple Barcodes
5. The Data Capture LED lights green and a beep sounds, by default, to indicate the bar code was decoded
successfully.
6. Release the scan button.
The bar code content data displays in the text field.
NOTE: Imager decoding usually occurs instantaneously. The device repeats the steps required to take a digital picture (im-
age) of a poor or difficult bar code as long as the scan button remains pressed.
