Scanning Distance
• The optimal scanning distance varies depending on the bar code size,
symbology, label media, W-N Ratio, and scan angle. In general, the
CRS can successfully scan 2.2 to 30+ inches from the bar code.
• The larger the bar code, the further away you should position the
scanner.
• The tighter the bars of the bar code, the closer you should position the
scanner.
About the Cable Break Away
The CRS is designed to break away from the hand if subjected to unusual
force. This break away feature is designed to reduce the possibility or extent
of injury to the body in the event the CRS becomes entangled in industrial
equipment.
If the cable breaks away from the ring scanner unit during use, simply plug it
back in to resume operation.
Note: Whenever the cable disconnects from the ring scanner, it will beep 3
times.
