Proper Scanning Technique
The scanner was designed to provide the ultimate in ergonomic enhance-
ments for Point-Of-Sale (POS) scanning. To take advantage of these
advancements:
Practice the techniques below to improve scanning efficiency:
• Move the product across the horizontal window (See Figure 3-1).
• Since the scanner can reads labels 360 degrees around the product,
don’t favor either the horizontal or vertical scan windows. Keep
items in their natural orientation.
• Remember to slide or push items rather than picking them up. By
avoiding any gripping, twisting and rotation of your hands and
wrists, you can prevent repetitive motion injuries. This technique
also relieves you from lifting possibly thousands of pounds per day.
• Develop a smooth fluid motion during scanning, sharing work
equally between hands.
• Use the entire hand for grasping and lifting items.
