Operating Tips
RIGHT
WRONG
When scanning a bar code symbol, listen for one
short, high tone. It means the bar code has been
decoded successfully.
Hold at an Angle
Do not hold the scanner directly over the bar code. In
this position light can bounce back into the scanner
and prevent decoding. Angle the scanner slightly.
Scan the Entire Symbol
Move the scanner so the beam crosses every bar
and space on the symbol.
The larger the symbol the farther away you should
hold the scanner.
Hold the scanner closer for symbols with bars that
are close together.
If you have difficulty reading a label hold the
scanner beyond the recommended range in Figure
3.B and then move the scanner closer.
