• PIR/CT — PIR (Productivity Index Reporting) allows the scan-
ner to provide information to an external computer indicating
how easy the label was to read. CT (Cashier Training) allows the
scanner to provide feedback to the cashier on how to scan in a
more ergonomic fashion.
To set this feature:
1. Scan the SWITCH bar code.
2. Scan your selection from the bar codes below. You’ll need to cover
any unused bar codes on this and the facing page to ensure that
the scanner reads only the bar code you intend to scan.
3. Complete the programming sequence by scanning the SWITCH
bar code.
