Quick Check® 600/800 Series User’s Guide

2. Hold the mouse wand as you would a computer mouse, placing your fingers

on each side of the mouse near the front.

3. Lightly pass the mouse wand over either quiet zone (clear area) of the bar

code. If the unit does not respond, press

POWER

.

4. At about the same speed with which you would quickly underline a sentence

in this manual, and without interruption, gently pass the mouse wand across
the center of the bar code. You do not need to press the mouse on the bar
code.

5. Listen for audible tones.

•

If you hear a long beep tone followed by a short tone, it signifies a good

read.

•

If you hear a long beep and then three short beeps, the unit detects an

error in the scanned symbol.

•

If one of these messages appears,

slowly, please!

;

faster,

please!;

or

more evenly, please!

; adjust your scan

technique accordingly. If a symbol consistently produces no beeping,
it is either fatally out of spec or it is not one of the symbologies
programmed on the unit.

•

If you receive a message about a bad quiet zone, you may have

started scanning too close to the first bar. Rescan the symbol, starting
a little farther away from the first bar.

6. Practice your scanning technique until you can successfully scan, on the first

attempt, each of the test symbols supplied with the verifier.

Cleaning the Wand

Occasionally the scanner tip or window may become partially obstructed by ink,
paper fibers, or other particulate deposits (such as wax or varnish). To ensure
reliable scanning, you should periodically check and, if necessary, clean the tip
with a soft cloth.

Note: Damaged tips for the pen wand should be replaced. Consult your dealer

or Hand Held Products’ Customer Service Department for details.
