Scanning With an Area Imager
If the computer has an area imager, use the following procedure to practice
scanning a bar code. The area imager lets you scan 2D bar code
symbologies and supports omni-directional (360°) scanning. Omni-
directional scanning means that you can position the computer in any
orientation to scan a bar code label. Using the area imager is very similar to
taking a picture with a digital camera.
