Using the Laser Scanner

To enter data with the laser scanner:
1. Pull the trigger to power on the terminal and scanner.
2. Aim the scanner at a 45-degree angle to the bar code, from
3 to 6 inches away.
3. Pull the trigger again to scan the bar code.

Scanning Techniques

• Scan while holding the scanner at a slight angle to the bar
code. Scanning straight on may blind the scanner.
• For larger symbols, hold the symbol farther away from the
scanner.
• For symbols with bars that are closer together, hold the
symbol closer to the scanner.
• Aim the scanner at the bar code. Position the beam to cover
the entire bar code. The scan beam must cross every bar
and space on the symbol.
