Maintenance

CAUTION
Do not submerge the reader in water. The reader's housing is not
water-tight.
Do not use laboratory wipes, such as Kimwipes, because they can
scratch the window.
Do not use any type of solvent, other then recommended solvents, to
clean the reader. Harsh chemicals can damage the finish or the
window.
Clean the barcode reader window whenever it appears dirty or smeared:
1. Wipe the reader window with a soft cloth or facial tissue dampened with
water or an ethanol solution.
2. If a detergent solution is used, rinse with a soft cloth or facial tissue
dampened with water only.
3. Clean the plastic case using steps 1 and 2.

Troubleshooting

It is important that the labels be printed to the required specifications. Reading
errors may occur if any of the following conditions exist:
• the narrow bar width is too small
• the barcode length too great
• the height too small
