Scanning Bar Codes

To scan a bar code with either a standard range or long range
scanner:

1. Make sure the bar code symbol is within the proper scanning

range. Refer to page 1–6 for scanning ranges.

2. Hold the scanner at an angle to the bar code symbol. If you hold

the scanner directly over the bar code symbol, light can bounce
back into the scan window and prevent a successful scan.

3. Aim and press the trigger. For the standard range scanner, make

sure the scan beam crosses the entire width of the bar code
symbol.
