Hands-Free Scanning
The optional Intellistand adds greater flexibility to scanning operation. For information on assembling the stand,
see Setting Up the Intellistand on page 1-4.
When the scanner is seated in the stand’s “cup”, the scanner’s built-in sensor places the scanner in hands-free
mode. When you remove the scanner from the stand it operates in hand-held mode.
Figure 2-2 Inserting the Scanner in the Stand
To scan in hands-free mode:
1. Ensure all cable connections are secure.
2. Insert the scanner in the optional Intellistand by placing the front of the scanner into the stand’s “cup”.
3. To scan a bar code, present the bar code and ensure the scan line crosses every bar and space of the
symbol.
4. Upon successful decode, the scanner beeps and the LED turns green momentarily.
Aiming
Do not position the scanner and bar code at a 90
o
angle to each other. Laser light reflecting directly back into
the scanner from the bar code is known as specular reflection. This specular reflection can make decoding
difficult. Tilt the scanner or bar code up to 55 forward or back and achieve a successful decode. Simple
practice quickly shows what tolerances to work within.
