Operation

Scanning Items

To scan items using the scanner, slide or push them through the scan zone as shown on this page. The scanner will work equally well with either a left-to- right or right-to-left motion through the scan zone. There is rarely a need to reorient an item’s bar code since the scanner can “see” the left, right, front and back side, as well as the bottom of an item.

Here are some tips for best scanning results:

•Don’t favor either the hori- zontal or vertical scan win- dows. Keep items in their natural orientation.

•Remember to slide or push items rather than picking them up. By avoiding any gripping, twisting and rota- tion of your hands and wrists, you can prevent repetitive motion injuries. This technique also relieves you from possibly lifting thousands of pounds per day.
