Scanning with the CyberPen
Now that your set up is complete, you're ready to scan bar
codes.
1.
Hold the pen at an angle as shown in the diagram
below with the clear tip facing the bar code to be
scanned.
2.
Depress and hold the scan button.
3.
Place the scanner tip in the white space on either side of
the bar code.
4.
With the button still depressed, move the scanner
quickly and smoothly over the bar code from start to
finish, ending in the white space on the other side of the
bar code. The motion should be similar to striking a
match.
A successful read of the bar code is indicated by an audible
beep and a green LED. If you do not hear a beep, try scan-
ning again, using a different speed, or following a different
path through the bar code.
When the pen is within 10% of being completely full of
data, the decode beep sounds longer. When the pen is com-
pletely full of data, three long beeps sound to let you know
the memory is full, and you must either upload your data to
the PC or clear the pen's memory before any further bar code
data can be collected.
