Scanning Tips
Practice to determine the best scanning angle and distance for your type of
bar code.
Scan Angle
For best results, position the scanner at an angle to the bar code, at least 15°
from perpendicular. Otherwise, light can bounce back into the scanner and
“blind” the sensing mechanism.
Aiming Beam
Aim the laser so that the red beam covers the entire width of the bar code.
