Series Scanners

Scanning Made Easy

Ready

Before you use the scanner, make sure all cable connections are
secure.

Te s t

Aim the scanner away from you. Press the trigger; the scan beam
lights and the SCAN light on the back of the unit turns on.

Scan

Make sure the bar code is in the correct scanning range. Aim and
press the trigger. The scanner has read the symbol when:

• You hear a beep.

• The green DECODE light appears.

• The laser turns off.

Le Décodage Rendu Facile

Prêt

Vérifier tous les branchements de câbles avant de commencer la
lecture.

Te s t

Pointer le vérificateur de code à barres vers l'avant. Appuyer sur la
gâchette; le rayon de lecture et le témoin SCAN situé à l'arrière de
l'appareil s'allument.

Décodage

S'assurer que le code à barres se trouve dans la plage correcte. Viser
et appuyer sur la gâchette. Le vérificateur a lu le symbole lorsque :

• il a émis un bip sonore;

• le témoin DECODE passe au vert;

• le rayon laser s'est éteint.

Quick Reference

Scanning Leichtgemacht

Bereit

Vergewissern Sie sich bitte vor Gebrauch des Scanners, daß alle
Kabelverbindungen sicher angeschlossen sind.

Te s t

Zielen Sie mit dem Scanner von sich weg. Drücken Sie auf den
Auslöser; der Scan-Strahl leuchtet auf, und die SCAN-Anzeige auf
der Rückseite des Geräts schaltet sich ein.

Scanning

Vergewissern Sie sich, daß der Barcode im richtigen
Entfernungsbereich liegt. Zielen Sie und drücken Sie den Auslöser.
Der Scanner hat das Symbol gelesen, wenn:

• Sie einen Piepton hören;

• das DECODE-Licht grün aufleuchtet;

• der Laserstrahl erlischt.

La Scansione Facile

Pronto

Prima di usare lo scanner, accertateVi che tutti i cavi di
collegamento siano fissati.

Prova

Puntate lo scanner in direzione opposta a Voi. Premete il grilletto; il
raggio dello scanner e la spia di SCAN sul retro del dispositivo si
accendono.

Scansione

Accertatevi che il codice a barre si trovi all'interno del raggio di
scansione. Mirate e premete il grilletto. Lo scanner ha letto il codice
quando:

• sentite un segnale acustico;

• la spia DECODE diventa verde;

• il raggio laser si spegne.

La Lectura Hecha Facil

Listo

Antes de usar el lector, comprobar que todas las conexiones de
cable estén bien.

Probar

Apuntar el lector en sentido opuesto al suyo. Oprimir el gatillo; el
rayo lector se enciende y se activa la luz SCAN detrás de la unidad.

Leer

Asegurarse de que el código de barras esté dentro de los límites de
lectura correctos. Apuntar y oprimir el gatillo. El lector ha leído el
símbolo cuando:

• se oye un sonido agudo;

• la luz DECODE se pone verde;

• se apaga el láser.

Quick Reference

Aiming

Hold at an angle

Do not hold the scanner directly over the bar code. In this position,
light can bounce back into the exit window and prevent a successful
decode.

5

LS 2000MX/3000MX

Series Scanners

Visée • Zielen • Come Prendere La Mira • Para Apuntar

Diriger sur un angle

Ne pas tenir le vérificateur perpendiculairement au code à barres.
Dans cette position, le rayon laser risquerait d'être réfléchi dans la
fenêtre de sortie empêchant le décodage.

Im Winkel halten

Halten Sie den Scanner nicht direkt über den Barcode, da in dieser
Position Licht in das Ausgangsfenster zurückreflektiert wird und
dies eine erfolgreiche Dekodierung verhindernkann.

Impugnate ad angolo

Non tenete lo scanner perpendicolare al codice a barre. In questa

posizione, infatti, il raggio laser può rimbalzare all'interno della

fessura di uscita e impedire una buona decodificazione.

Sujetar en ángulo

No retener el lector directamente sobre el código de barras. En esta
posición la luz puede rebotar en la ventana de salida e impedir la
decodificación.

6

Quick Reference

Scan the Entire Symbol

• The scan beam must cross every bar and space on the symbol
(as in the left bar code on the next page).

• The larger the symbol, the farther away you should hold the
scanner.

• Hold the scanner closer for symbols with bars that are close
together.

Balayer la totalité du symbole.

• Le rayon doit balayer toutes les barres et tous les espaces du
symbole (comme le montre l'illustration de gauche à la page
suivante).

• Plus le symbole est grand, plus le vérificateur doit en être éloi­gné.

• Tenir le vérificateur plus près des symboles dont les barres sont
très rapprochées.

Scannen Sie das ganze Symbol.

• Der Scan-Strahl muß jede Linie und jeden Zwischenraum
abtasten (wie beim linken Barcode auf der nächsten Seite).

• Je größer das Symbol, desto weiter entfernt müssen Sie den
Scanner halten.

• Halten Sie den Scanner näher an ein Symbol, dessen
Linien enger zusammenstehen.

7

LS 2000MX/3000MX

Series Scanners

Leggete il codice nella sua interezza.

• Il raggio dello scanner deve attraversare tutte le barre e gli
spazi del codice (come vedete nel codice a barre di sinistra).

• Più grande è il codice, più lontano dovrete tenere lo scanner.

• Tenete lo scanner più vicino per codici le cui barre siano
particolar-mente fitte.

Leer todo el símbolo.

• El rayo lector debe atravesar cada barra y espacio del
símbolo (tal como se indica en el código de barras que aparece
más abajo a la izquierda).

• Cuanto más grande sea el símbolo, mayor distancia deberá
haber desde el lector.

• Retener el lector más cerca de los símbolos que tienen
barras muy juntas.

Quick Reference

What Does The Beep Mean?

When you hear 1 beep (short high tone) it means data has been
decoded successfully. If any other beeps are heard, contact the
technical person in charge of scanning.

Que Signifie Le Bip Sonore ?

1 bip court (tonalité aiguë) signifie que le décodage est réussi. Si
l'appareil émet d'autres sons de bip, contacter le responsable de la
vérification des codes à barres.

Was Bedeutet Der Piepton?

Wenn Sie einen Piepton (einen kurzen, hohen Ton) hören, bedeutet
das, daß die Daten erfolgreich dekodiert wurden. Wenn Sie
abweichende Pieptöne hören, wenden Sie sich bitte an das
technische Personal, das für die Scanner zuständig ist.

Cosa Significa Il Segnale Acustico?

Quando sentite un segnale acustico (breve e acuto), ciò significa che
il codice è stato decodificato con successo. Se sentite qualunque
altro segnale acustico, consultate il personale tecnico addetto al
systema di scansione.

¿que Significa La Señal Audible?

Al oír una señal aguda y breve se indica que los datos han sido
decodificados. Si se oyen Tonos diferentes, informar al técnico
encargado de lecturas.

What If...

nothing happens when you follow the operating instructions.

• Check the system power.

• Check for loose cable connections.

• Be sure the scanning system is programmed to read the type of
bar code you are trying to scan.

• Check to be sure the symbol is not defaced.

Et Si...

rien ne se passe bien que les instructions aient été bien
suivies ?

• Vérifier l'alimentation du système.

• Vérifier les branchements.

• S'assurer que le système est programmé pour décoder le type
de code à barres que l'on esssaie de vérifier.

• S'assurer de la lisibilité du symbole.

Was Ist, Wenn...

nichts passiert, obwohl Sie die Anweisungen befolgt
haben?

• Prüfen Sie, ob das Gerät Strom hat.

• Prüfen Sie, ob sich Kabel gelockert haben.

• Vergewissern Sie sich, daß der Scanner zum Lesen der
Barcodes programmiert ist, die Sie versuchen zu scannen.

• Prüfen Sie, ob das Symbol unleserlich ist.

10

Quick Reference

E Se...

non succede nulla anche se si seguono le istruzioni d'uso,

• controllate l'alimentazione del sistema;

• controllate che non vi siano cavi di collegamento staccati;

• assicuratevi che il sistema di scansione sia programmato per la
decodificazione del vostro tipo di codice a barre;

• controllate che il codice non sia illeggibile.

Y Si...

no sucede nada al observar las instrucciones de
funcionamiento,

• comprobar la alimentación del sistema;

• comprobar que no haya conexiones de cables sueltas;

• asegurarse de que el sistema lector esté programado para que
lea el tipo de código de barra que se intenta leer;

• comprobar que el símbolo no es defectuoso.
