CHAPTER 4: SETUP FOR WINDOWS XP & WINDOWS VISTA 49

STEP 11: SCAN DATA INTO YOUR APPLICATION

1. Press the trigger button and aim your finger at the bar code. The

red laser beam should cover the entire width of the bar code.

Note: When data is read and sent to the computer, the laser will turn off.

Depending on your scanner settings, the scanner may beep and/or the

ring scanner’s LED may flash green to indicate a good read.

Note: If no data is read in a few seconds, the laser will turn off, and you

must try again.

Note: See Appendix B for scanning tips.

2. After a successful scan, data should appear in your document. By

default, the cursor automatically advances to the next cell or line,

ready for data from the next scan.

Note: Wait for the “Good Scan” indication before you scan another bar

code. If you try to scan too fast, the device can lock up until you stop

scanning.
