Scan a barcode using the optional barcode scanner
The instrument is compatible with an optional Handheld Barcode Scanner (Cat. No.
purchased separately). The barcode scanner reads Code 128 (alphanumeric), which supports
128 ASCII character barcodes.
1.
Click the
Barcode
field.
2.
Hold the scanner 20–30 cm away from a plate or container label and aim at the center of the
barcode, then press the trigger.
3.
Slowly move the scanning beam across the barcode until the scanner emits a high-pitched tone.
When the scanner scans a barcode, it automatically transmits the following information:
• Transmits the alphanumeric equivalent of the barcode to the barcode field.
• Transmits other reagent information (Lot #, Part #, Expiration Date, etc.)
For more information about the hand-held barcode scanner, see the user documentation provided with
the barcode scanner.
