Verifying Operation

A red LED (light-emitting diode) on the top right indicates laser activation
and good reads. The PT40 verifies that it accepts the scanned input by sound-
ing an audible tone.

The Beeper

The PT40 provides audible feedback to indicate when a bar code has been
scanned successfully and to acknowledge when a key has been pressed. The
default setting provides one beep to indicate a good scan or key entry. Another
beep sequence warns of possible problems. The tone, pitch, volume, number,
and length of beeps can all be modified. Refer to

<SCAN>
The laser should be pointed at a slight angle to the bar code. Do not ori-
ent the PT40's laser parallel or perpendicular to the bar code.
The laser beam must cross the entire bar code. The PT40 cannot cor-
rectly read if the entire bar code is not scanned.
