Using the PowerScan™ PM9300

Quick Reference Guide

3

Reading Angle

Successful scanning is obtained by tilting the reader with 
respect to the barcode to avoid direct reflections that 
impair the reading performance, see the figure below.

Symbologies with smaller bars or elements (mil size) 
should be read closer to the unit. Symbologies with larger 
bars or elements (mil size) should be read farther from the 
unit.

If the entire bar code is within the scan line, you will get a 
good read. Successful reading is signaled by an audible 
tone plus a good-read green spot LED indicator.

Reference the PowerScan 9300 Product Reference Guide 
(PRG) for more information about this feature and other 
programmable settings.
