SCANNING BAR CODES

WAND SCANNING

Step 1:

HOLD THE WAND LIKE A PENCIL, tilted at an angle of 10 to 30

degrees from vertical.

Step 2:

TOUCH the wand tip to the WHITE SPACE before the label.

Step 3:

Move the wand QUICKLY across the label as if you were drawing a

straight line through the middle of it.

Step 4:

Begin and end your stroke in the WHITE SPACE. Maintain a

smooth, even stroke while scanning. You can read labels bi-

directionally (either left-to-right or right-to-left) and the data will

output correctly to your computer.

Step 5:

If you scanned the label correctly, you will hear a short BEEP.

When the "POWER" light turns GREEN the reader is ready to scan

another label.
