Laser Scanner
Figure 2-5 Scanner Aperture Location
The Standard Range Scanner aperture is located at the back at the top of
the MX2. Barcode scanning is initiated when the user presses the Scan
button. The MX2 has one scan button – a large key in the middle of the
keyboard labeled Scan. This key cannot be reprogrammed.
Figure 2-6 Scan Button Location
The only option for scanning with the MX2 is with the internal laser.
Due to sealing and environmental issues, no external port is available for
external tethered scanners. When the MX2 does not have an installed
scanner, although the scanner aperture is present, pressing the Scan
button has no effect.
To use the laser, aim the top of the unit at a barcode and press the Scan
button.
A red LED directly below the LCD display indicates when the scanner is
active. The LED switches to green when a scan is successful.
