Reading instructions
The bar code scanner is a Class I laser product conforming to the strictest
laser safety standards. However, we recommend that you avoid looking
directly into the laser beam emitter, or pointing the laser beam directly into
someone's eyes.
ƒ Point the bar code scanner to the bar code and press the applicable key to
activate the laser beam.
ƒ Fit the bar code in the laser beam from margin to margin and pass the
scanner to the bar code, as shown in the scan position illustration.
ƒ The bar code will be read and an effectively recognised and decoded bar
code will be indicated by a “Goodread sound”.
When the bar code can not be read, try the following:
ƒ
Check that the width of the bar code label does not exceed the width of
the light beam.
ƒ Change the angle between the bar code and the product.
ƒ Change the distance between the bar code and the product.
ƒ Is the reading window of the product clean?
ƒ Are the bar code labels damaged?
ƒ Check if the error also occurs with other bar code labels.
