Scanning Items

To scan items using the scanner, slide or push them through the SurroundScan
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 no need to reorient an item's
bar code since the scanner can "see" the left, right, front and back side, as well as the top
and bottom of an item.
Here are some tips for best scanning results:

Quick Reference Guide
Apply power to the EAS Controller box before powering on the scanner..
Don't favor either the horizontal or verti-
cal scan windows. Keep items in their
natural orientation.
Remember to slide or push items rather
than picking them up. By avoiding any
gripping, twisting and rotation of your
hands and wrists, you can prevent repet-
itive motion injuries. This technique also
relieves you from possibly lifting thou-
sands of pounds per day.
