Introduction

® 8100/8200 scanners are the world’s smallest, most versatile 360-
degree scanners designed for supermarkets, hypermarkets, and mass merchan-
disers around the globe. An enhanced optical design has been combined with
First Strike™ advanced decoding software for superior performance and pro-
ductivity. This Quick Reference Guide provides an overview of the scanner and
scanner/scale operation. For more detailed information about setup, installa-
tion and programming, see the Product Reference Guide included in PDF for-
mat on the PSC Manuals CD. Manuals are also available for download from the
PSC website (www.pscnet.com). Printed manuals may be ordered from your
dealer/distributor.
Operation
Scanning Items
To scan items using the scanner, slide or push them through the scan zone as
shown on this page. The scanner will work equally well with either a left-to-
right or right-to-left motion through the scan zone. There is rarely a need to
reorient an item’s bar code since the scanner can “see” the left, right, front and
back side, as well as the bottom of an item.
Here are some tips for best scanning
results:
• Don’t favor either the hori-
zontal or vertical scan win-
dows. Keep items in their
natural orientation.
• Remember to slide or push
items rather than picking
them up. By avoiding any
gripping, twisting and rota-
tion of your hands and
wrists, you can prevent
repetitive motion injuries.
This technique also relieves
you from possibly lifting
thousands of pounds per
day.
