Quick Reference Guide

Introduction
The Duet ™ delivers high performance in a small, fixed scanner that can also be
used as a targeted handheld scanner. Its innovative design maximizes produc-
tivity and minimizes operator stress, strain and fatigue.
This Quick Reference Guide provides an overview of scanner operation. For
more detailed information about setup, installation and programming, see the
User’s Guide and Programming Kit included in PDF format on the PSC Manu-
als CD. These manuals are also available for download from the PSC website
(http://www.pscnet.com). Print manuals may be ordered from your PSC rep-
resentative (see back cover for contact information).
Operational Modes
With two scan windows, the Duet scanner can easily adapt to either fixed/por-
table or targeted handheld scanning applications. The front scan window, with
its multiple scan pattern, is used for most retail items. The rear scan window
emits a single targeted scan pattern for handheld scanning of hard to read or
bulky items, or to read an individual bar code among many bar codes.
Fixed Mode
To use the scanner in Fixed Mode, seat the
scanner securely in the stand. The scanner
can read bar codes either in the sweep or
presentation mode to accommodate differ-
ent user styles.

Sweep Scanning

code facing the scan window. Optimal
scanning distance is about 4.5 inches.
