Bar Code Decoding
The MK4000 decodes any traditional retail 1D or PDF417 (imager-base d only) bar code presented in its field of
view.
Scanning with the MK4000
When scanning a bar code using the laser-based MK4000:
•
Hold the bar code at an angle which does not cause specular r eflection (see Specular Refle ction on page
1-7).
•
Hold the bar code close for small bar codes and farther away for large bar codes.
•
The MK4000 beeps to indicate a successful decode.

The scan beam does not have to be perfectly parallel with the top and bottom of the symbol (up to a 4

Specular Reflection
When laser beams reflect directly back into the scanner from the bar code, they can “blind” the scanner and
make decoding difficult. This phenomenon is called specular reflection.
To avoid this, scan the bar code so that the beam does not bounce directly back. But do not scan at too oblique
an angle; the scanner needs to collect scattered reflections from the scan to make a successful decode.
Practice quickly shows what tolerances to work within.

Imaging with the MK4000
When imaging, ensure the bar code is within the decode range and within the aiming pattern. The MK4000
beeps to indicate a successful decode.
Place the symbol in any orientation within the aiming pa ttern. Ensure the entire symbol is within the rectan gular
area formed by the brackets in the aiming pattern. The red laser aiming pattern turns on to assist in aiming.

Removing the Screen Protector
A screen protector is applied to the MK4000. Zebra recommends using this to minimize wear and tear. Screen
protectors enhance the usability and durability of touch screen displays.
To remove the screen protector, lift the corner using a thin plastic card, such as a credit card, then carefully lift
it off the display.
CAUTION Do not use a sharp object to remove the protector. Doing so can damage the display.
For a package of five replacement screen protectors, contract Zebra.
