TERMINAL

The terminal is a Class I laser product

conforming to the strictest laser safety
standards. However, we recommend

that

you avoid looking directly into the laser
beam emitter, or pointing the laser beam
directly into someone’s eyes.

Fit the bar code in the laser beam from
margin to margin and pass the scanner
downward over the bar code, as shown in the

scan position illustration.

When reading a small bar code, decrease the
distance between the terminal and the bar code.
For larger bar codes, position the terminal so
that the bar code fits into the laser beam.
When reading a very high density bar code,
decrease the distance between the terminal
and the bar code. For a low density bar code,
increase the distance between the terminal
and bar code.

4.2 Barcode reading problems

When the barcode can not be read, try the
following:

Change the angle between the bar code

and the terminal.

Change the distance between the bar

code and the terminal.

If the bar code is larger than the laser

beam, try moving the terminal a bit further
away from the bar code.

!

Please take care of the handling

precautions.

Please make sure that the terminal is

installed according to the installation
instructions.

Never remove the main battery pack

while the terminal is turned on.
Doing so can cause data in the terminal
to be deleted or corrupted.

4.1 How to read the barcode

The scanning sequence is defined by the
user’s application. A typical sequence is:

Press the [PW] key to turn power on.
Check the display for the message:

READ BAR CODE

Point the terminal to the barcode and

press the Trigger key.

Point the laserbeam to barcode as shown

in the scan position illustration.

The barcode will be read and the reading

results will be indicated.

A ‘Good Read’ means that the scanner has
effectively recognised and decoded the bar
code. In most cases, the application program
will provide an indicator signal or a buzzer
signal to indicate a good read to the user.

When the read is incorrect you can try again,
paying attention to the instructions in this
chapter.
