Proper Scanning Technique
The scanner was designed to provide the ultimate in ergonomic enhance-
ments for Point-Of-Sale (POS) scanning. To take advantage of these
advancements:
Practice the techniques below to improve scanning efficiency:
•
Move the product across the horizontal window (See Figure 3-1).
•
Since the scanner reads labels on all four sides plus the bottom,
don’t favor either the horizontal or vertical scan windows. Keep
items in their natural orientation.
•
Remember to slide or push items rather than picking them up. By
avoiding any gripping, twisting and rotation of your hands and
wrists, you can prevent repetitive motion injuries. This technique
also relieves you from lifting possibly thousands of pounds per
day.
•
Develop a smooth fluid motion during scanning, sharing work
equally between hands.
•
Use the entire hand for grasping and sliding items.
•
Develop efficient scanning motions, not necessarily faster hand
movements.
•
Learn typical locations for bar codes on packages; avoid “flipping”
or rotating the items during scanning.
•
Learn how the scanner functions and where the scanning area is
located.
•
Avoid covering any portion of the bar code with your hand.
