Reading Techniques

Near Distance Scanning

Use the red lighting and center the box over the bar code when scanning at a near distance (less than 11.8 inches / 30 cm).

The laser aimer will be to the right of the center of the bar code.

Far Distance Scanning

Use the laser aimer and aim at the center of the bar code when scanning at a far distance (up to 50 feet / 15.2 meters).

When scanning at far distances the red lighting may not be apparent.

Note: If the bar code is highly reflective (e.g., laminated), you may need to tilt the scanner at an angle so the bar code can be scanned.
