About the Imager
The computer has an EA30 or EA31 area imager that can read 1D and
2D bar code symbologies, composite symbologies, and postal codes.
You can also use the imager to take pictures as if it were a camera.
You can also use Bluetooth communications to connect the computer
to cordless scanners, such as the SF51 and SR61.

aiming beam to help you correctly frame bar codes.
