Operating the LS 5300 Scanner
Programming
Generally, the technical person in charge of scanning will
customize the scanner for your particular application through
the use of programming bar codes, which are found in the
LS 5300 Product Reference Guide. If you are programming the
scanner yourself, consult the Product Reference Guide for more
information.
Scanning a Bar Code
The shaded areas below represent the scan pattern. For the best
scanning performance, the countertop or surface area covered
by the scan pattern should be free of any designs (e.g. stripes,
patterns). Ideally, that area should be a light, solid color. To scan
a bar code, move an item through the scan pattern, in the
direction of the arrows, with the bar code label facing the
scanner window. The scanner will beep when a bar code has
been decoded successfully.
