1.1 Reading Bar Codes
Turn on the BHT power, bring the bar-code reading window up to the bar code to be
scanned, and press the trigger switch. The BHT-5000 lights the illumination LED and
reads the bar code.
When the BHT-5000 has read the bar code successfully, the reading confirmation LED
will illuminate in green.
•
If the BHT-5000 fails to read, change the reading angle of the bar-code reading
window or the distance from bar codes, and try it again.
•
To read bar codes wider than the readable area of the bar-code reading window,
pull the bar-code reading window away from bar codes for long-range scanning
so that the entire bar code comes into the illumination range covered by the
illumination LED. The BHT-5000 can read bar codes at a maximum distance of 20
cm (7.9")* from the bar-code reading window.
* Under the following conditions:
- Ambient illuminance: 500 lux (fluorescent lamp)
- ITF conforming to the UPC Shipping Container Code
- PCS value: 0.9 or more
- Minimum narrow bar width: 1.2 mm min. (47.2 mils min.)
Before reading labels, clean them if stained.
Avoid using the BHT-5000 in direct sunlight. The BHT-5000 might fail to read
correctly.
To read bar codes on curved surfaces, apply the bar-code reading window to the
center of each bar code at a right angle.
