The device has an integrated high-performance barcode scanner from Zebra. With this reader, you can electronically process 1D and 2D barcodes of all types. This section tells you how to activate, set up, and use the barcode scanner.

Using the Barcode Scanner

To activate the barcode scanner, start the Scanner Configuration application. It must be running permanently in the background for the scanning function to be active. Alternatively, a scan-enabled application is required. It serves as an interface between the imager and the device. The integrated barcode scanner in the Scoria M240 acts like a keyboard and can be triggered via the scan button. If the scan is successful, a beep sounds in the standard configuration. However, the behavior can be configured in the settings.

  1. Make sure that an application is open on the device and a text field is in focus (text cursor in text field)
  2. Aim the output window on the top of the device at a barcode.
  3. Press and hold the scan button, the red LED aiming pattern will light up to help with aiming.
