Chapter 3
Operation and
Maintenance
The information contained in this chapter describes how to operate and
maintain the scanner, and optional scale and EAS systems. Topics include
“how to’s” on scanning, EAS label deactivation, weighing, re-zeroing the
scale, removing the top cover and cleaning the upper and lower windows.
Scanning Items
To scan items using the scanner, slide or push them through the scan zone
as shown in
Figure 3-1. The scanner will work equally well with either a
left-to-right or right-to-left motion through the scan zone. There is rarely
a need to reorient an item’s bar code since the scanner has a 360 degree
view around an item.
NOTE
“Limited Scanning Mode” is entered by default by interfaces
such as USB and IBM until a Point Of Sale (POS) terminal
enables scanning. This mode allows the scanner to read labels
without a host interface enabled. The scanner will only pro-
cess programming labels and emit a bad label read indication
(“chirp”) for all other labels.
