Scanning Techniques
To scan a barcode, start by holding the SMART
Scanner™
about 6-8 inches from the barcode to be scanned.
Next, press and hold the
button
. A red aiming light will emanate from the end of the device as long as the
button
is held. Simply move the light over the barcode to be scanned. The SMART
Scanner™
will beep once
when the barcode is recognized. After the barcode is recognized, release the button. The following pictures
illustrate a few simple tips that will improve scanning reliability:
YES
For best results, hold the SMART
Scanner™ pe
rpendicular to the barcode to
be scanned.
YES
The aiming light should be centered and
evenly spaced over the barcode to be
scanned.
NO
Do not hold the SMART Scann
er™ s
o that
the beveled scanning end is parallel to the
barcode to be scanned.
Although there are many cases where this
scanning technique will produce
satisfactory results, it does not work in all
cases.
NO
Do not hold the aiming light at an angle to
the barcode.
NO
Make sure the aiming light completely
covers the barcode.
