Reading Techniques

The view finder
projects a red
aiming beam that
should be
centered over the
bar code.

Hold the scanner
over the bar code,
pull the trigger,
and center the
aiming beam on
the bar code.

The aiming beam is smaller when the scanner is
closer to the code and larger when it is farther from
the code. Hold the scanner close to smaller bar
codes, and farther away from large bar codes to get
a proper read.

If the bar code is highly reflective (e.g., laminated),
you may need to tilt the scanner at an angle so the
bar code can be scanned.

of the bar code to the bottom, and back up.

This ensures that the entire code is scanned.
