Triggering
The KDT750's internal bar code scanners are designed to be used in presentation modes. In
these modes, the scanner is always scanning and looking for bar codes to decode.
NOTE: Some internal scanners have the ability to disable the illumination LEDs when no bar
code is present under the scanner. The scanner is still looking for bar codes, but is saving
power by only enabling the illumination when a new bar code symbol is present.
To manually trigger the bar code decoder, use the Data Viewer tool under the System Tools
folder.
Scanning Bar Codes
NOTE: Bar codes will only be scanned when software that is aware of the bar code inter-
face is running (PCDemo, KDT750 Demo, Data Viewer, etc...)
Scanning with the Linear CCD
KDT750 units equipped with the Linear CCD scan engine require proper alignment of the
bar code under the scanner window. The Linear CCD's ideal scanning range is between 2.5
inches and 8 inches.
