Ready, Test, Scan

1. Ready

Make sure all connections are secure.

2. Test

Aim the scanner away from you and press the trigger. When you press the

trigger, the scanning beam is energized. On the LS 1000, the length of time the

beam remains on depends on the controller or terminal into which it is

plugged. On the LS 1004, the scanner is energized for approximately 1 second

(default).

3. Scan

Make sure the symbol you want to scan is within the scanning range. See the

LS

100x Decode Zone

.

Aim and press the trigger. On the LS 1000, the scan beam and SCAN LED lights for

3.5 seconds, or until a successful decode occurs. On the LS 1004, if you use the

scanner in default Low Power operating mode, the DECODE LED remains on until

power down (maximum of 1 second). If the unit is programmed for Continuous

power operating mode, the DECODE LED stays on until the next trigger pull.

The scanner has read the symbol when:

• You hear a short, high tone beep (if the beeper is enabled).

• The DECODE LED lights.
