Scanning PDF417 (2D) Barcodes (Only for 2D barcode model)

The 2-Dimensional terminal supports PDF417 barcode reading. It produces a raster pattern
featuring multiple scanning rows to accommodate the multiple rows of a PDF417 symbol.
1
Aim the scanner at the PDF417 barcode.
2
Press one of the trigger buttons on either side of the computer.
If the barcode scan application software has been set for use with F1, F2, F3, or option buttons
(using [Start]-[Settings]-[Control Panel]-[Barcode Scanner]-[Button]), press the button as-
signed for this function (
tions).
The red scan beam for reading is emitted from the scanning window. Make sure the red
scan beam covers the entire barcode.
Read the previous page for precautions when performing reading with the scanner.
3
Hold the button down and keep the scan pattern parallel to the symbol's
rows.
Be sure the scan pattern extends at least 12.7 mm {1/2"} beyond each edge of the barcode.
"Tall" PDF Barcodes
If the vertical scan pattern is not high enough to cover a "tall" PDF417 symbol, try a slow up
and down scanning motion. With the raster pattern open, move the scanner slowly down
towards the bottom of the symbol, keeping the beam horizontal to the rows, and then slowly
back up towards the top.
