How to scan with the ROV Scanner:
•
Hold ROV Scanner at an angle to the bar code approx 10 – 15 degrees
•
Position ROV Scanner between 12 – 18 cm from the bar code
•
Gently (but firmly) press the front of the scan button until it bottoms out
•
Move scan beam through the bar code, while slowly bringing the ROV closer to the bar code
•
Scan beam must extend at least 1 cm beyond edges of bar code
Second, let's review how to deal with worn, damaged or covered bar codes:
Many times, the bar code may be ripped, faded of poor quality or has been covered with a clear
protective overlay. If a bar code does not immediately scan then slowly move the scan beam from the
top of the bar code to the bottom. This gives the scanner a better chance to find “good spots” within
the bar code, if the protective overlay is not completely flat or clear and gives off false reflections then
permanent errors and the total inability to read the bar code underneath can result. In cases like this
the solution lies with replacing the covered bar code and not with the bar code reader.
What if there's no scan at all?
•
If no scan: check battery orientation & replace batteries, if needed
•
Scanning distance may vary depending on bar code size and density. Scanning distances
range from: 2.5 – 20 cm
•
Protective overlay may be causing excessive bad reflections.
•
Good Scan: LED blinks, beeps, and scan beam turns off
•
Memory Full: LED blinks 3 times & scanner beeps 3 times
