Operation
Scanning Items
Item bar codes are scanned by either...
• sliding or pushing items through the scan volume in a right-to-left or left-to-
right motion (see
Figure 2
a). This is known as “Sweep” scanning, and is the
best choice for high throughput super- and hypermarket installations where
it is necessary to minimize the need to grip or lift items.
• moving the bar code directly toward the scan window to be read (see
Figure 2
b). This “Presentation” technique is most often used in low
throughput variety, convenience market and pharmacy applications where
useable countertop space is at a premium and “Sweep” scanning is not possi-
ble.
With FirstStrike
TM
decoding software, the scanner can read most hard-to-read
codes quickly and without excess orientation.
