1. Scanning/RFID: Press the trigger button to scan a barcode or read an RFID
tag. Please refer to your scanner manual for the correct technique.
When scanning a barcode, make sure the scanning beam covers the
entire width of the barcode. For example, you can try scanning this
barcode:
Mag Stripe: Swipe a magnetic stripe card through the slot, with the
magnetic stripe facing the SoMo 650.
2. When data is read, it should appear in your document.
Depending on which scanner/reader you have, it may also beep, or the
LED may change colors to indicate a successful scan.
Wait for the “Good Scan” indication before you scan more data. If you
try to scan too fast, the device can lock up until you stop scanning.
If the data does not appear how you expect it and you are using Excel
Mobile, check the cell formatting.
