2.7 The Scanner

Where fitted with a bar code scanner, the netpad may be used to read industry standard bar codes. To scan a bar code, point the scanner window at the bar code, ensuring that the scanner window is not obstructed and that you are between 5 cm (2 in) and 60 cm (24 in) from the bar code. Activate the scanner as instructed in the software application’s operating instructions. The scanning beam should be energized until a successful decode is achieved or three seconds have elapsed.
