4 Use the laser pointer as a guide and aim toward the middle of the
bar code. Make sure that the illumination frame covers the bar
code you are trying to decode.
When the CN50 successfully reads a bar code label, you hear a high
beep, and the Good Read LED turns on briefly.

Capturing a Signature
Signature capture is a process in which the imager in the Intermec
computer takes a picture of a specified area, usually the signature line
on a receipt or other printed form. The capture area is usually defined
in relation to the location of a nearby bar code. The capture process
produces an image file (either .bmp or .jpg format) which you can use
in your back-office operations. For example, you could shorten order
processing time by sending order confirmations wirelessly back to the
office. For more information on using signature capture, download
the Data Collection Resource Kit which is part of the Intermec
Developer Library (IDL), from the Intermec web site at
