Using the Built-in Scanner
You must run software that can access the scanner
in order to operate and/or test it. This can be the
Scanner Settings tool (My Computer > Control
Panel > Scanner Settings), Scan2Key.exe (My
Computer > Windows > Scan2Key.exe; by default
a hidden file), or a custom application.
The PA966 has an integrated 1D or 2D scanner
which will read all major barcodes. Trigger keys
are located on the left and right sides of the
screen. When the scanner is active press either of
these to scan for barcode data or capture an
image (2D scanner only).
