Scanning Tips; Position At An Angle - Symbol RS 1 Manual

Scanning Tips

• For larger symbols, hold the symbol farther away
from the scanner.
• For symbols with bars that are closer together,
hold the scanner closer to the symbol.
• The optimal scanning distance varies with bar
code density, but 4 to 10 inches (10 to 25 cm) gen-
erally works. Practice to determine what distances
to work within.

Position at an Angle

Do not position the scanner exactly perpendicular to the
bar code being scanned. In this position, light can bounce
back into the scanner's exit window, and possibly prevent
a successful decode.
Cleaning
Wipe the scanner window periodically with a lens tissue
or other material suitable for cleaning optical material
such as eyeglasses.
Caution:
1 S c a n n e r
Do not pour, spray, or spill any liquid
