Scanning with the Terminal
The terminal has an integrated scanner which collects data by
scanning bar codes. Refer to the PDT 8000 Series Product
Reference Guide for information on configuring your terminal for
scanning.
To scan bar codes with the terminal:
1. Launch the terminal’s scanning application.
2. Aim the scanner at the bar code.
3. Press the scan trigger. Ensure the red scan beam covers the
entire bar code. The green scan LED lights and a beep
sounds to indicate a successful decode.
Resetting Your Terminal
If your terminal stops responding to input, reset it.
Performing a Soft Reset
A soft reset restarts the terminal and saves all stored records and
entries.
Caution: Files that remain open during a soft reset may not be
retained.
DO NOT perform a soft reset if the terminal is suspend-
ed. Press the Power button to wake the terminal.
