1.2 SCANNING BAR CODES WITH THE POLLUX P-4010
The Pollux P-4010 is an omni-directional scanner featuring a 5 directional scan
field with a 20 lines scan pattern. The scanner's scan volume is illustrated in the
figure below. The optimal reading zone lies between 1 and 9 cm from the scan-
ner window, but bar codes can be read up to 30 cm (11.8 in.) from the scanner
window. The scanner can be used in either fly by or presentation mode.
Scanning a bar code label in fly by mode is very simple: pass the product’s bar
code label along the scanner as illustrated in the figure below.
