Reading Bar Codes
The computer ships with an internal imager. Depending on the imager
model in your computer, you can read 1D and 2D bar code
symbologies, composite symbologies, and postal codes.
You can also connect the computer to:
• cordless scanners, such as the SF51 and SR61 through Bluetooth
communications. For help, see “Connecting to a Bluetooth
Scanner” on page 74.
• tethered scanners, such as the SR30, and SR61T through the
RS-232 adapter (Model 1000AA03). For help, see “Connecting to
a Tethered Scanner” on page 78.
To read a bar code:
1 Enable only the bar code symbologies that you need.
2 Use Intermec Settings to choose the predefined imager mode that
best suits your environment:
3 Point the imager window at the bar code label, and hold the
computer steady a few inches from the label.

Note: When the Pictures & Videos application is running, you cannot
