NOTE: To use the barcode scanning function an optional barcode scanning license is
required. Refer to the Configuration Manual, Ascom Myco Wi-Fi and Cellular
Smartphone for instructions on how to add licenses to a handset.
The handset is equipped with a professional barcode scanning functionality that can be
used to efficiently scan 1D and 2D barcodes, for example located on Patient ID wristbands
and medicine labels.
Scanning apps with various features and functionality can be used on the handset. Available
apps are selected by the system administrator.
NOTE: Third-party scanning apps must be developed using the Myco Barcode Scanning API.
Refer to the Android App Developers Program page on the Ascom Partner Web for
instructions on how to develop apps for the handset.
1 In the App view, tap the barcode scanning app and follow the instructions to open up
the barcode scanning view.
2 Point the handset camera toward the barcode to scan. Use the display to verify that
the barcode is well within the barcode scanning app seeker window. The app
continuously scans for a barcode. A successful scan is indicated with a beep and a
vibrating handset.
3 The result from a successful scan is displayed in the app. The actual functionality
depends on the app being used.
TIP: The app continuously scans for a barcode. If the scanner is unable to detect a barcode,
try to reposition the camera by moving it closer, or farther away from the barcode, or try
scanning in better light conditions.
