Using the Barcode Scanner

The Barcode Scanner has a view finder that projects a bright red aiming beam corresponding to the scanner’s field of view. It can read both 1D linear barcodes and 2D matrix symbols.

To scan single or multiple barcodes/symbols:

1. Hold the Barcode Scanner at an appropriate distance from the barcode/symbol.
2. Pull the Scanner Trigger, and then center the aiming beam on the barcode/symbol.
   Tips for using the Barcode Scanner:

   • For the best read, position the aiming beam centered over the barcode/symbol.

   • For a good read, position the beam in any direction, such as horizontal, vertical, or diagonal.

   • The aiming beam is smaller when the scanner is closer to the barcode/symbol and larger when it is farther from the barcode/scanner.

   • If the barcode/symbol is laminated or highly reflective, it may be necessary to tilt the barcode/symbol to prevent unwanted reflection.
