Power Supply
The scanner may require either a Listed Class 2 or Listed LPS power source which
supplies power directly to the unit. It is sometimes possible for a scanner to
receive power directly from the terminal (P.O.T.). See the current product data
sheet for more information about P.O.T.
Scanning Items
Push or slide items through the 360° scan zone (shown here) in either a left-to-
right or right-to-left motion. The scanner has the ability to “see” a bar code
located on any side (left, right, front, back or bottom) of a product, so there’s
rarely a need to reorient an item in order to scan it.
For best scanning results...
•
Move items through the scan zone in their natural orientation. It’s not
necessary to reorient the bar code toward either the horizontal or vertical
scan window.
•
Sliding or pushing items rather than picking them up will avoid the
gripping, twisting and rotating movements that can cause repetitive
motion injuries to hands and wrists. The strain of lifting potentially
thousands of pounds per day can also be relieved using this technique.
