Using the Camera
The camera lens light is on the back of the C5 and
there is a light source just above it.
Please note that the first time you use the bar camera, it will
take about 5-10 seconds for the software to open and then
the camera will activate. You will see the following dialog
box.
Subsequent scans will not have the delay for the
software to open unless the computer is restarted.
1. Press the Camera button to activate the camera and open the viewfinder.
2. Press the Camera button again to take a picture.
3. In the Pictures dialog box, do one of the following:
• To save the picture, tap Save. In the Save As dialog box,
specify a location in which to save the picture.
• To delete the picture, tap Delete. In the confirmation
dialog box, tap OK.
Tips
• If you are using a tethered pen make sure the tether is not in front of the lens
