Hand Held Products 800, 600 Properly Scanning With the Unit, To scan properly using a pen wand

Page 19

Three beeps (one long followed by two short beeps) sound if the unit detects reflectance readings significantly different from the previously recorded ones. You may be scanning too slowly, too quickly or unevenly, or using an improper scan angle. A message appears and prompts you to begin again. Continue scanning using the recommended scanning technique until the unit is calibrated.

Properly Scanning With the Unit

Variations in scan rates and angles can affect bar code verification. Before you begin collecting data, review and practice the recommended method for whichever configuration you are using, the pen wand or the mouse wand.

♦To scan properly using a pen wand:

1.Turn on the verifier and confirm that it is operational (that is, does not need to be charged or calibrated).

2.Hold the pen wand as you would a pen or pencil, placing your fingers on each side of the foot near the tip.

3.Lightly touch the scanner tip against either quiet zone (clear area) of the bar code. You have the proper scanning angle when the tip and the reflectance guide are flat on the scan surface. (If the unit does not respond, press POWER.)

4.At about the same speed with which you would quickly underline a sentence in this manual, and without interruption, gently drag the tip across the center of the bar code. You do not need to press the tip on the bar code. Gentle pressure on the tip will not scratch the contacted surface.

5.Listen for audible tones.

•If you hear a long beep tone followed by a short tone, it signifies a good read.

•If you hear a long beep and then three short beeps, the unit detects an error in the scanned symbol.

•If one of these messages appears slowly, please!; faster, please!; or more evenly, please!; adjust your scan technique accordingly. If a symbol consistently produces no beeping, it is either fatally out of spec or it is not one of the symbologies programmed on the unit.

•If you receive a message about a bad quiet zone, you may have started scanning too close to the first bar. Rescan the symbol, starting a little farther away from the first bar.

6.Practice your scanning technique until you can successfully scan, on the first attempt, each of the test symbols supplied with the verifier.

♦To scan properly using a mouse wand:

1.Turn on the Quick Check 600/800 Verifier and confirm that it is operational (that is, does not need to be charged or calibrated).
