bar-code labels
Follow this procedure if you are scanning labels with a
pencil-wand bar-code reader. If you are using another type of
reader, see the instructions shipped with the reader.
1. Place the tip of the bar-code reader to the left or right of the
bars on the bar-code label. Make sure the reader touches
the label and is within 30 degrees of vertical in any
direction.
2. Draw the bar-code reader across the label with a smooth,
quick motion. The PTC beeps when the reader successfully
reads a label.
Note: Do not draw the reader across the label too slowly.
More scanning failures occur from scanning too slowly than
from scanning too quickly.
If the bar-code reader fails to read the label, the label may
be dirty. Wipe off the label and try again.
If the bar-code reader still fails to read the label, try
scanning across the top or bottom of the bars in the bar
code. If necessary, wipe off the tip of the bar-code reader.
