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
(Data Collection > Camera > Scanner Settings) to enable bar
code reading.
Enable or Disable Reading Bar Codes With the Camera
You use the Profile Settings application to enable or disable reading
bar codes with the camera. Reading bar codes with the camera is
disabled by default.
1 Tap Start > ProfileSettings.
2 Tap Camera.
3 In the Camera menu, tap Enable bar code scan or Disable bar
code scan as necessary.
4 Tap OK.
Note: To read bar codes using the camera, you must use Intermec
Settings to configure bar code symbology decode settings.
Note: Parameters set in Data Collection > Internal Scanner >
Scanner Settings are applied to the internal imager, not the camera.
Note: You can also enable reading bar codes by setting parameters in
Intermec Settings.
