Quick Reference
If the scanner is not aligned to make the bar code readable, the red
LED blinks.
3. Scan
For a 1-D symbol,
the slab raster pattern reads the bar code.
For a 2-D symbol,
the pattern spreads vertically to cover the symbol
if it is parallel to the symbol’s rows. Keep the pattern in the same
horizontal plane as the bar code.
If the pattern does not cover the top and bottom of the 2-D symbol,
pull the scanner back until it does. Make sure the scan pattern
extends at least
three quarters of an inch
beyond the edges of the bar
code.
Simple practice will show you what works best.
The scanner has successfully decoded the symbol when the green
LED comes on and you hear a short, high tone beep.
4. Output
Decoded data is transmitted to the host device. Make sure that the
RS-232C parameters (e.g., baud rate, parity, etc.) are set properly.
Communication parameters are described in the
Product Reference
Guide.
