Operational Tips

Do:
• Check inputs (label speed, length, height, etc.) to ensure the desired
number of scans per label.
• Avoid excessive tilt, pitch, and skew of the bar code label.
• Check the label for readability by doing a read rate test. If there is any ques-
tion about the label's readability, contact your Microscan representative.
• After changing any parameter that might affect read rate, repeat read rate
test, and if necessary, Autocalibration.
• Clean the laser window with a clean, dry cotton swab on a regular basis.
Do Not:
• Aim the scanner into direct light or sunlight.
• Aim the scanner into a photo detector or other light-emitting device.
