Your printer may have a built-in scanner.
To scan a bar code:
1. Attach the safety strap to your wrist.
2. Point the scanner at a slight angle
approximately 4 – 8 inches from the
bar code symbol.
3. Press the trigger or other key
specified by your System
Administrator.
Caution: Do not stare into the beam.
The scanner LED is at the top left of the keypad, opposite the On/Off key.
Scanner LED Description
Green Successful scan.
Amber Unsuccessful scan.
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.
