Using a Scanner

48 Falcon

DOS Portable Terminals

Overview

Some models of the Falcon come with a built-in high-performance scanner. To

use this scanner, point the scanning window at a bar code and press the trigger

that activates the scanner. A red light-emitting diode (LED) on the scanner

module indicates when the Falcon is scanning, and a green LED indicates

when a scan is successful.

Some Falcon models are equipped with a long-range scanner. Refer to

page 51

for information on using a long-range scanner on the Falcon.

The Falcon

33X and 34X have either an internal front position laser scanner or

a linear imager.

Scanning Bar Codes

To use the scanning function, complete the following steps:

1. If you have not already done so, remove the protective plastic film before

using devices equipped with a laser scanner.

2. Aim the scanning beam at the center of the bar code.

• Position the device close to bar code when scanning small bar codes.

• Position it at a distance when scanning larger bar codes.

• The scanner is disabled after you release the key or after five (5) sec-

onds.

3. Press the

<Scan> key. The scanner scans as long as you hold the key or

for five (5) seconds.

On the Falcon 34X 48-key keypad, there is no <Scan> key. Use the trigger.

WARNING

Some Falcons are equipped with laser scanners that scan using laser light. Never

look directly into the laser light or shine the laser light into the eyes.

Remove the protective plastic film from the scan window of units equiped with laser

scanners or the scanner will be unable to read the bar code.
