out of the cradle.

Scanning

To scan bar codes:

1. Launch a scanning application.

2. Press the scan key and aim the mobile computer at a

bar code.

The LED turns red to indicate the scanner is on.

3. Adjust the aim so that the thin, red laser beam covers

the entire length of the bar code.

4. If the decode is successful the LED turns green. The

terminal beeps if programmed accordingly.

Scanning Tips

• For larger bar codes, hold the mobile computer

farther away from the bar code.

• For bar codes with bars that are closer together, hold

the mobile computer closer to the bar code.

• The optimal scanning distance varies with bar code

density, but 10 to 25 cm (4 to 10 inches) generally

works. Practice to determine what distances to work

within.

• Position the scanner at an angle to the bar code. If

the mobile computer is perpendicular to the bar code

being scanned, light can bounce back into the

scanner’s exit window and prevent a successful

decode.
