SPT 1800 Series
Scanning 1-D Bar Codes
The SPT 1800 has an integrated laser bar code scanner which
allows you to collect data by scanning bar codes if your unit is
configured with a scanning application. To scan bar codes:
1. Start your scanning application.
2. Aim the scanner at a bar code.
3. Press either the right, left or center scan trigger. Make sure
the red scan beam covers the entire bar code. The green
scan LED lights and a beep sounds to indicate a successful
decode.
Scanning PDF417 (2-D) Bar Codes
To scan a PDF417 bar code (with a 2-D configured terminal):
1. Aim the scanner at the PDF bar code and press either the
right, left, or center scan trigger.
2. Hold the trigger down and keep the scan line parallel to the
rows of the symbol.
3. Manually raster the scan line by slowly moving the scanner
up and down so it scans the entire bar code at a rate of one
inch per second.
