6.0 Scanning Symbols
6.1 Scanning Techniques
Lay the symbol to be scanned on a flat, non-
reflective surface.
For greatest accuracy scan a symbol more than
once, in both directions.
Begin a scan from the quiet zone, two inches (5 cm)
before the symbol.
See Appendix E for quiet zone details
Make sure the scan head is flat against the symbol.
Move the scan head across the symbol in a smooth
motion. A constant speed of 5 to 10 inches
(13-25 cm) per second is ideal. Scanning too fast
will cause the display to read
“Please Scan Slower”
but faster is ALWAYS better than slower.
