3.2 Basics

Reading Barcodes

Reading a barcode is simple. Point the KDC at a barcode and press the scan button. Be sure to point
the scan engine at the barcode, not at your face, and make sure to position the light beam on the
barcode. If the barcode is scanned successfully, you will hear one beep and the LEDs will illuminate in
green.
If the scan was unsuccessful, you will hear two beeps and the LEDs will illuminate in red. If you have
problems scanning a barcode, try the following suggestions while pointing the KDC at the barcode and
depressing the scan button.
Modify the angle of the KDC in relation to the barcode, making the angle bigger or smaller as needed.
Modify the distance between the barcode and the KDC, moving closer or further away as needed.
Check option settings defined in the KDC menu section and change options as needed.
Check that the barcode's width does not exceed the light beam's width and vice versa.
