Bar Code Decoding

The MK4000 decodes any traditional retail 1D or PDF417 (imager-based only) bar code presented in its field of
view.

Scanning with the MK4000

When scanning a bar code using the laser-based MK4000:
•
Hold the bar code at an angle which does not cause specular reflection (see
1-7).
•
Hold the bar code close for small bar codes and farther away for large bar codes.
•
The MK4000 beeps to indicate a successful decode.
