To read a bar code, a scan-enabled application is required. The MC55 contains the DataWedge application
that allows the user to enable the scanner to decode bar code data and display the bar code content.
1. Ensure that a scan enabled application (DataWedge) is loaded on the MC55. See DataWedge on page
3-6.
2. Aim the scan window at the bar code.

red to indicate that scanning is in process, then lights green and a beep sounds, by default, to indicate the
bar code was decoded successfully.
