coverBook Page 1 Monday, December 1, 1997 2:19 PM Chapter 2 Scanning Introduction This chapter covers the techniques involved in scanning bar codes. Included are specific instructions on how to hold the scanner at the appropriate angle to ensure an accurate decode.
coverBook Page 2 Monday, December 1, 1997 2:19 PM LS 1000 Product Reference Guide: Chapter 2, Scanning Ready, Test, Scan 1. Ready Make sure all connections are secure. 2. Test Aim the scanner away from you and press the trigger. When you press the trigger, the scanning beam is energized. On the LS 1000, the length of time the beam remains on depends on the controller or terminal into which it is plugged. On the LS 1004, the scanner is energized for approximately 1 second (default). 3.
coverBook Page 3 Monday, December 1, 1997 2:19 PM LS 1000 Product Reference Guide: Chapter 2, Scanning Aiming Scan the Entire Symbol • Your scan beam must cross every bar and space on the symbol. • The larger the symbol, the farther away you should hold the scanner. • Hold the scanner closer for symbols with bars that are close together. • A short, high tone beep indicates a good decode.
coverBook Page 4 Monday, December 1, 1997 2:19 PM LS 1000 Product Reference Guide: Chapter 2, Scanning Hold at an Angle Do not hold the scanner directly over the bar code. Laser light reflecting directly back into the scanner from the bar code is known as specular reflection. This strong light can “blind” the scanner and make decoding difficult. The area where specular reflection occurs is known as a “dead zone”. You can tilt the scanner up to 65° forward or back and achieve a successful decode.
