Data Capture 3 - 5
Using the RS507 Hands-free Imager
An RS507 Hands-free Imager can be used with the MC55 to capture bar code data.
To set up the MC55 and RS507:
1. Tap > BTScannerCtlPanel icon.
2. Select the BT Scanner checkbox and then select the appropriate Com port from the drop-down list.
3. Tap Save and Exit.
4. Tap > Display_BD_Address icon. A bar code displays.
5. Point the RS507 to the bar code. The RS507 reads the bar code and begins pairing with the MC55. If
required, enter PIN (12345).
6. Launch a scanning enabled application.
7. Point the RS507 at a bar code to read the bar code data.
Refer to the RS507 Hands-free Imager Product Reference Guide for more information.
Digital Camera Scanning
1. Ensure that a scan-enabled application (DataWedge) is loaded on the MC55. See DataWedge on page
3-6.
2. Aim the camera lens on the back of the MC55 at a bar code.
3. Press and hold the scan button. A preview window appears on the display window with a red aiming reticle
in the center. The Scan/Decode LED lights red to indicate that scanning is in process.

4. Move the MC55 until the red aiming reticle is over the bar code to scan.
5. The Scan/Decode LED lights green and a beep sounds, by default, to indicate the bar code was decoded
successfully.
NOTE The camera decode feature is set by default to automatically decode the bar code when read. This feature can
be programmed to display a green aiming rectile upon good decode indicating that the bar code has been
successfully decoded and to release the scan button.
