Proper Scanning Technique
The scanner was designed to provide the ultimate in ergonomic enhancements 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
•
Since the scanner reads labels on all four sides plus the top and 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 lifting 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.
Proper Weighing Technique (Scale Models)
1. The L-shaped All-Weighs
TM
platter allows you to place items anywhere on its surface,
including leaning against its vertical section, to be weighed accurately. The raised lip on
the end also provides a convenient way to ensure items do not rest on the counter or
other non-weighing surfaces. (Reference
NOTE
It is important that items rest entirely on the platter for their full weight to be
accurately recorded. An optional ScaleSentry
TM
feature can be employed to help
prevent the occurrence of item overlap onto non-weighing surfaces. See the fol-
lowing section for more information about this feature.

2. Once weighed items are in place, enter PLU (price Look-Up) data as described in your
POS system instructions. Item weight is displayed on the Remote Display and/or the host
display.
3. Remove the item from the weigh platter.
