Chapter 9: Using the Barcode Reader
(8450 only)
At the time of this writing, this feature remains under development. Some of the information presented
here may not be accurate in the current beta release. Refer to the updated online documentation
following the initial beta release date.
The SpectraLink 8450 Wireless Telephone is equipped with a barcode scanner located at the top rear of
the handset. This feature reads GS1-standard, UPC barcodes printed on the covers of most products
worldwide to associate a product with its detailed description, including price.
You activate the barcode scanner by pressing the scanner button on the right side of the handset. The
phone supports two types of applications—one-to-one and many-to-many.
General Operating Instructions
The barcode scanner, shown next, is at the top rear of the handset. Scanning range is 4-12 inches.
Scanning with the barcode reader:
1 Hold the handset so that the rear of the handset is facing the item you want to scan.
2 Press the scan button. The red light comes on. Orient the red light so that it shines across the
barcode. The red light stays on for as long as you press the button and accomplish a complete
scan.
A beep sounds to indicate a successful scan and the red light turns off. See the Appendix C: User
Settings Menu for help in navigating to sound settings for this option.
3 Release the scan button.
