How To Read Bar Codes With the Camera
You can use the camera to read bar codes. When you read bar codes
with the camera, the computer treats the camera as it would any input
device, such as a Bluetooth scanner, and bar code data is sent to an
application as if it came from a scanner or imager.
There are two ways to enable reading bar codes with the camera:
You can use the Profile Settings application to enable bar code
reading. The computer uses the current symbology decode settings
to read bar code data.
You can configure individual parameters in Intermec Settings to
enable bar code reading.
Note: To read bar codes using the camera, you must use Intermec Settings to
configure bar code symbology decode settings.

Read Bar Codes With the Camera
