Problems reading Bar Codes

bar pad table. Follow the steps for proper scanning technique discussed in Appendix M; How to scan a bar code.

I have very poor read rates when scanning bar codes...
•Carefully follow the scanning instructions in Appendix M; How to scan a bar code when reading any and all bar codes. As straightforward as scanning may seem, many people who call with a complaint about poor read rates simply aren't doing it right.
•Try reading the following bar code below as an example of a known “good” bar code. This bar code is a Code 39 bar code and is readable by the RF Terminal set to its default settings.
•Make sure your bar codes have clearly defined dark bars and clean white spaces. If the bars are so light that they are gray instead of black or are so dark that they “bleed” into the white spaces, the printing of the bar codes is the problem. Whoever is printing the bar codes needs to make the necessary corrections.
•The bar code should also have a “quiet zone” of at least ¼” to the left of the first bar and to the right of the last bar. Make sure to start your scanning to the left of the bar code in the “quiet zone”, moving the scanner quickly and smoothly as if drawing a line
