Scanning 1-D or 2-D Bar Codes
1. Ready
Make sure connections are secure.
Also
make sure the
symbol you want to scan is within the scanning range; refer
to LS 4800 Decode Zones in the Product Reference Guide.
The larger the symbol, the farther away you should hold the
scanner. Hold the scanner close for denser symbols. Simple
practice will show you what works.
2. Aim the Scanner
Aim the scanner at the symbol. If you’re scanning a 2-D
symbol, try to keep the nose of the scanner parallel with
the symbol’s rows.
Center the aiming pattern (a spot or slab raster, as pro-
grammed) on the bar code.
