Chapter 9. Using Barcode Reader
Keyboard hook can convert received characters to keyboard messages; therefore, you can read
barcode in applications such as Notes, Tasks, Excel Mobile and Word Mobile as long as you
enable the keyboard hook.
In the top of your device, a reader for barcode/D code reading and decoding is built in, with which
various types of barcode/D code labels are decoded into readable information such as letters and
numbers. Settings of barcode/D code reader can be changed to fit your specific requests.
