Operational Tips
Do:
• Check inputs (label speed, length, height, etc.) to ensure the desired number of scans
per label.
• Avoid excessive tilt, pitch, and skew of the bar code label.
• Check the label for readability by doing a decode rate test. If there is any question
about the label's readability, contact your Microscan representative.
• After changing any parameter that might affect decode rate, repeat decode rate test.
• Clean the scanner window with a clean, dry Q-tip or cotton cloth on a regular basis.
Do Not:
• Aim the scanner into direct light or sunlight.
• Aim the scanner into an external object detector or other light-emitting device.
• Obstruct the scanner window with mounting hardware or other objects.
• Connect chassis of scanner and host to different ground potentials.
• Operate the scanner in excessive temperature environments.
The MS-810 scanner when used correctly should produce good reads. If not, table
A-12 lists some of the more common problems associated with setting up and using
the scanner. If you are unable to locate or correct the problem, call your Microscan
representative.
