Scan Buttons
Figure 2-5 Programmable Buttons
There are two buttons, one on each side of the display. The buttons are programmable and function
as an integrated barcode scanner key or a numeric keypad Enter key. The Scan keys have no effect
on scanners tethered to the MX3-CE.
Scan Buttons and the SCNR LED
The SCNR LED, located above the keypad, illuminates during an integrated barcode scanner
function. It is affected by internal scanner algorithms.
• Red - scanning.
• Green - good scan.
• Unlit - scanner is inactive.
The MX3-CE Scan buttons have no effect on tethered barcode scanners (connected to a serial
port). Tethered scanners read barcode scans only when the trigger on the tethered scanner is
pressed.
Button Settings
To edit the button parameters, select Start / Settings / Control Panel / Scanner. Change the
parameter values and tap OK to save the changes.
Figure 2-6 Left and Right Scan Button Programming
The default setting for the right button is Enter. The default setting for the left button is Scan.
When the MX3-CE does not have an integrated scanner, both buttons default to Enter keys.
