Entering information

You can enter information, such as a Patient ID, on the analyzer in 2 ways:
‒ Barcode reader
‒ Touch screen keyboard
When the analyzer requires information, such as a Patient ID (PID), it prompts you to use
the barcode reader. The barcode reader enables you to easily scan important information
directly into the analyzer.

Operating the barcode reader

INSTRUCTIONS
1. Aim the barcode reader at the item you want to scan.
The red and green lights help you to aim the scanner on the barcode. Center the aiming
beam over the barcode.
2. Tap to activate the scanner.
The screen changes when the barcode is accepted.
Tips for scanning
‒ Hold the item in the center of the scan window, not too close or too far away
‒ For items with more than one barcode, make sure you scan the intended barcode.
‒ Ensure proper lighting.
‒ If the code being scanned is on a highly reflective surface (for example, a laminated
surface), tilt the barcode slightly to reduce reflection.
