Series 3300 System Administration Manual

Using a Laser Scanner
Laser scanners can be either detachable units, like the LS2000, or the Integrated
Laser Scan Module which is permanently attached to the terminal.
Scanning is activated by pulling the scanner trigger when the program prompts for
scanned data. Instead of using a trigger, a scanner may use a "soft trigger," with
one or more keyboard keys defined to serve as the trigger. The Integrated Scanner
Module requires the soft trigger since it does not have a trigger switch. The
Enter
key is the default soft trigger key.
To enable the soft trigger, the STG3000.EXE program must be loaded with the
terminal software. Up to twenty keys can be defined as soft triggers. Refer to the
Series 3000 Application Programmer's Manual for more information on this
program.
To use a laser scanner, do the following (refer to Figures 3-3 and 3-4):
Warning
Do not look directly into the laser beam or point it at another person. Lasers can
cause eye damage.
1. Power on the system and scanner by pressing
On/Off
or pulling the scanner
trigger.
2. Point the scanner at the bar code and pull the trigger or press the soft trigger
key (
Enter
).
3. Adjust the aim so that the thin, red laser beam covers the entire length of the
bar code.
When the bar code is successfully decoded, the code is displayed on the 3300
screen. A beep may also indicate a successful scan.
The optimal scanning distance (focal length) for the Integrated Scanner Module is
.75 to 25 inches. For the optimal scanning distance of a detachable scanner, con-
sult the scanner operator's manual.
