The ASP
Zapper StingRay
ASP's
Zapper StingRay
is a compact high-performance hand-held linear
imager, distance-reading barcode scanner.
The
Zapper StingRay
has a central trigger switch making it suitable for
left or right handed operation. This trigger can be programmed to
operate in different ways. Assuming the scanner is set up in a “push to
read” mode, all you have to do to read a barcode is place the scanner's
reading window over the barcode, up to 200mm away (depending on
barcode resolution), and press the trigger. The scanner will
automatically read the barcode, output the data, and both beep and
display a green light to signal a successful read.
You can place the scanner's reading window over the barcode label, or
“slide” it over the barcode in the direction of the bars, but you can’t
slide it across the barcode as you would with a wand.
The
Zapper StingRay
has been pre-programmed to read most barcode
types you are likely to encounter. For special requirements, please
contact ASP or your dealer.
If you are having trouble reading barcode labels, the most common
causes are likely to be:
•
Trying to read a defective barcode, perhaps incomplete because it
overlaps the edge of a label, or with no “quiet zone” (6mm of blank
space at the start and end of the barcode), or incorrectly constructed.
•
Trying to read a barcode too wide for the scanner (this is unlikely
with the
Zapper StingRay
as the beam “fans” wider further from the
scanner)
•
Not having the reading window properly positioned over the
barcode, or
•
Having the reading window covering more than one barcode.
Very poor quality or damaged barcode labels may also present scanning
problems, but it may be possible to read them by moving the scanner up
and down the label in the direction of the bars, to find an undamaged
path across the barcode symbol.
