Your printer may have a built-in scanner.
To scan a bar code:
1. Point the scanner at a slight angle, approximately 4 – 8 inches
from the bar code symbol.
2. Press the trigger or other key specified by your System
Administrator.
Caution: Do not stare into the beam.
The scanner LED is above the display.
Scanner LED Description
Green Successful scan.
Yellow Unsuccessful scan.
If the bar code does not scan:

Change the scanner's angle slightly and try again.

Clean the scanner window. See "Cleaning" in Chapter 5 for more
information.

Move the scanner 4 – 8 inches away from the bar code. Adjust
this distance as needed to find the correct distance.

Try scanning another bar code that you have scanned
successfully. If that scan is successful, the scanning problem is with the bar code.

Move to a more dimly lit area.

Ensure there are no voids (streaks) in the bar code symbol.
If the scan is still unsuccessful, ask your System Administrator to perform a scanner test.
