Page 19: Chapter 1 Getting Started
Chapter 1 Getting Started Introduction The Symbol LS9208 projection scanner provides multiple scan pattern capabilities that support various applications at the POS (point of sale). For fast, intuitive, hands-free scanning, use the rastering, 100-line, omni-directional scan pattern. To read bar code menus and pick lists, use the Single-Scan line. Pick up the scanner to scan heavy or bulky merchandise.
Page 20: Unpacking Your Scanner
Setting Up the Scanner Installing the Interface Cable Connect the interface cable to the host computer. Plug the interface cable modular connector into the interface cable port on the rear of the Symbol LS9208 (see Figure 1-2). Push the connector into the housing until you hear a click. The green LED lights and three short high beeps sound, indicating that the scanner is operational.

Page 208: Symbology - Intercharacter Gap
11 - 62 Symbol LS9208 Product Reference Guide Symbology - Intercharacter Gap Code 39 and Codabar symbols have an intercharacter gap that is typically quite small. Due to various bar code-printing technologies, this gap can grow larger than the maximum size allowed, preventing decode. If this problem occurs, scan the Large Intercharacter Gaps bar code to tolerate these out-of-specification bar codes.
