Reading Techniques
The 4800p scans bar codes and also captures
images. It can be used with or without a stand.
The 4800p’s
viewfinder projects
a green aiming
beam that should
be centered over
the bar code, but
can be positioned
in any direction for
a good read.
Hold the scanner
with the aiming beam centered over the bar code.
The 4800p beeps when it successfully reads a bar
code. Do not move the 4800p over another bar
code until it beeps. The optimum distance between
the 4800p and the object being scanned is 2 to 5
inches (5.1 - 12.7 cm). The height from the 4800p to
the stand’s tray is the proper distance.
The aiming beam is smaller when the scanner is
closer to the code and larger when it is farther from
the code. Hold the scanner close to smaller bar
codes, and farther away from large bar codes to get
a proper read.
If the bar code is highly reflective (e.g., laminated),
you may need to tilt the scanner at an angle so the
bar code can be scanned.
