4.1 Scan Position

The bar code label of the product should be
visible in the field of the scanner pattern.
When the scanner is not able to decode the
bar code label of the product, it is possible to
change some settings through configuration
software to achieve a better scan width.

4.2 Reading the bar codes

Depending on the bar code size and bar
code resolution we recommend you the
scan distances as described in the
diagram of chapter 2.4. of this manual.
Take care that the bar code side of the
product appears in the front of the reading
window.
Pay attention to the reading angles of the
scanner, as shown in chapter 2.4.of this
manual. The scanner should read the bar
codes in the reading area.
If you have problems with the read operation,
pay attention to the following:
Check if the scanner is not oblique
mounted.
Check if the scanner is able to decode the
bar code, referring to the reading angles.
Check if the position of the bar code label
is correct.
Scan one of the test labels of chapter 9. If
the test label is read correctly, check the
readability of the bar code used.
