Scanning

Introduction

This chapter covers the techniques involved in scanning bar codes, beeper and LED definitions, and general instructions and tips about
scanning.

Scanning

An omni scan pattern provides rapid, orientation-free scanning. Scanning can be done as either a hands-free or hand-held operation.

To scan a bar code, direct it in toward the window of the scanner (“presentation” scanning, see

Figure 2-4 on page 2-5

) or from side

to side in a sweeping motion (“swipe” scanning, see

Figure 2-5 on page 2-5

Ensure all cable connections are secure.

Place the scanner in the stand (see

Figure 2-1

Figure 2-1. Scanner in the Stand

To mount the detachable stand, see

Mounting Template on page 2-9

To scan a bar code, present the bar code and ensure the scan lines cross every bar and space of the symbol. See

Figure 2-2

on page 2-4

for scanning in hands-free mode and

Figure 2-3 on page 2-4

for scanning in hand-held mode.

Upon successful decode, the scanner beeps and the green LED flashes momentarily.
