Targeted Handheld Scanning - IBM 4685-L0D Setup, Operation, And Service Manual

Targeted handheld scanning

With targeted handheld scanning, the operator can point the scanner instead of
lifting a heavy or bulky item that is in the customer's hands or shopping cart. A
specially designed pointer line helps the operator aim at the bar code.
The scanner's shape cradles comfortably in the operator's hand. Its weight is dis-
tributed evenly to maximize balance and minimize fatigue.
