Basic Scanner Operation
The NetVision Data Phone contains a built-in laser-scan engine for data
applications. The default Uniform Resource Locator (URL), built-in to the
phone, contains a scanner-enabled field.
Actual Web client phone use depends on the application.
Warning: Do not stare into Laser aperture.
Test the scanner
Follow the procedure below to test the scanner of the NetVision Data Phone.
When the NetVision Data Phone first boots up, it goes into phone mode.
1. To switch to the data or client mode (called context switching), push
SCAN.
2. Aim the laser scanner (antenna end) of the phone at this bar code.
*0123456789*
In a successful scan the field on the phone receives this string:
0123456789.
The success of a scan depends on the image quality, size, the scan distance
and scan angle from the scanner to the image. Optimum distance is
approximately six to ten inches (15 to 25 cm).
Consult the Product reference guide for details about entering data manually
in client fields.
