Do not look directly into the window area or at a reflection of the
laser beam while the laser is scanning. Long-term exposure to the laser
beam can damage your vision.
Avertissement: Ne regardez pas directement la réflexion d'un rayon
laser ou dans la fenêtre du laser lorsque celui-ci est en opération. Si
vous regardez trop longtemps un rayon laser, cela peut endommager
votre vue.
You can use the scanner to scan and enter bar code data. When you press
the Scan button or one of the side scan buttons, the scanner emits a beam
of laser light that is visible on the bar code label as you scan it. The
terminal decodes the bar code and enters the data or command you
scanned.
Note: The Scan button on the keypad and the side scan buttons on the
terminal do not activate the tethered input device that may be connected
to the terminal.
When you unpack the 243X, these bar code symbologies are enabled:
• Code 39
• Code 128
• PDF417 (243X terminals configured for decoded scanning with a
tethered PDF417 scanner only)
• UPC/EAN
To scan other bar code symbologies, you must enable them on the 243X.
For help, find the symbology in Chapter 6 of the 2400 Family system
manual.
This section describes how to scan a bar code label with the integrated
scanner and the tethered PDF417 scanner. For help using the other input
devices, see the instructions that ship with the input device. For help
connecting and configuring tethered input devices, see "Input Devices" on
page 87.
To scan a bar code label with the scanner
1 Press f or ' to turn on the terminal.
2 Hold the terminal at a slight angle a few inches from the bar code label.
The scanner must be pointing toward the label.
Note: If you have a long range or advanced long range scanner, you may
need to hold the terminal further away.
