Product Reference Guide
The information contained in this section describes how to operate and
maintain the scanner and scale. Topics include "how to's" on scanning,
weighing, re-zeroing the scale, removing the top cover and cleaning the
upper and lower windows.
To scan items using the scanner, slide or push them through the scan zone
as shown on this page. The scanner will work equally well with either a
left-to-right or right-to-left motion through the scan zone. There is rarely
a need to reorient an item's bar code since the scanner can "see" the left,
right, front and back side, as well as the bottom of an item.
