Basic Operations 4-5

If the bar code does not scan:

♦ Change the scanner’s angle slightly and try again.

♦ Clean the scanner window. See “Cleaning” in Chapter 5 for more

information.

♦ Move the scanner 4 – 8 inches away from the bar code. Adjust this

distance as needed to find the correct distance.

♦ Try scanning another bar code that you have scanned successfully. If

that scan is successful, the scanning problem is with the bar code.

♦ Move to a more dimly lit area.

♦ Ensure there are no voids (streaks) in the bar code symbol.

If the scan is still unsuccessful, ask your System Administrator to perform
a scanner test.
