Alpha Entry
In input fields accepting alpha input switching to alpha mode can be done by
pressing key . At the right bottom of the display the character
will be shown.
After that input must be performed as with a handy: With keys
0...9
(the keys are
labeled with 3 alpha characters) the desired alpha character can be entered.
Pressing a key the first time the first character appears. If the key is pressed again
within 1 second the entered character will be overwritten by the second character
and so on. If another key is pressed within 1 second the entered character will be
overtaken.
Handling the Scanner
Hold the scanner in direction of a light surface and press the button
SCAN
. Now
you should see the red laser beam reflected on the surface and the LED top right
above the display should light up.
Hold the scanner in the direction of a bar code and press the button
SCAN
.
Consider the following advices:
•
Vary the scanner position so that the laser beam crosses the middle of the bar
code and overlaps both sides. The larger the bar code is the further away from
the bar code the scanner must be held. Position the scanner as near as
possible to bar codes which are printed high density.
•
Do not hold the scanner at a right angle above the bar code. In this position the
laser beam (especially on smooth and strong reflective surfaces) can be directly
reflected back into the scanner optic which could lead to difficulty in decoding
the bar code or make it impossible to read it.
When the scanner has read the bar code
•
a
decoding beep
can be heard (default setting: short double beep),
•
the MDE devices
LED positioned right above the display switches to green for a
short time (default setting: 3 seconds)
•
and the laser beam switches off.
If scanning of bar codes should be unsuccessful please read chapter
Unsuccessful scanning
.
What do the sounds mean
Observe the decoding beep (default setting: short double beep). This means that
the bar code has been successfully read.
A longer sound (error sound) means that the chosen function respectively the
chosen bar code is not permitted.
