If the bar code does not scan:

Change the scanner’s angle slightly and try again.

Clean the scanner window. See “Cleaning” in Chapter 5 for more information.

Move the scanner 4 – 8 inches away from the bar code. Adjust this distance as needed to find the correct distance.

Try scanning another bar code that you have scanned successfully. If that scan is successful, the scanning problem is with the bar code.

Move to a more dimly lit area.

Ensure there are no voids (streaks) in the bar code symbol.

If the scan is still unsuccessful, ask your System Administrator to perform a scanner test.
