Enabling the Device

Once you get an instance of ClaimedBarcodeScanner, you should attach handlers to its relevant events. The main event is DataReceived, but you can also handle TriggerPressed, TriggerReleased, ErrorOccurred, and ImagePreviewReceived (in addition to ReleaseDeviceRequested).

Once you do this, you can enable it by setting its IsEnabled property to true. If you want to automatically disable it after you receive data, you can set IsDisabledOnDataReceived to true. Otherwise, you can just manage the value of IsEnabled yourself.
