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 16 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.
