To use the integrated scanner, simply point the top of your

unit at the bar code, press the [SCAN] key and listen for

the beep acknowledging a good scan. A short high-tone beep

indicates a good scan. If you hear no beep, scan the bar code

again. If you are still not getting a “good scan” beep, follow

these instructions.

1. Ensure you are positioning the scan lens properly

across the bar code.

2. The scan beam must cross every bar and space on the

symbol.

3. Hold the scanner farther away for larger symbols.
4. Hold the scanner closer for symbols with bars that are

close together.

" NOTE:

Tip: After reading a bar code, aim the lens away from the bar codes

and press the SCAN key within 1/2 second, to get the laser beam

back on. With the laser beam on, you have five seconds to find and

scan the next bar code.
