  • Page 28: How To Scan

    8. How to Scan 8.1 Scan Volume The device is an omnidirectional presentation scanner with a 10-direction scan field with a 40-line scan pattern. The scan volume extends approximately 20cm (8”) in front of the scan window. Barcode labels can be easily read when presented towards the scanning window.

  • Page 29: Scanning Mode

    8.2 Scanning Mode The scanner can read barcodes in either sweep or presentation mode to accommodate different requirements. Sweep Mode means moving items through the scan volume. Left to right, right to left, top to bottom, bottom to top, etc. are all okay. Sweep Mode is usually used for high throughput and reduced product handling.
