Scanning Items
Push or slide items through the 360° scan zone (shown here) in either a
left-to-right or right-to-left motion. The scanner has the ability to “see”
a bar code located on any side (left, right, front, back or bottom) of a prod-
uct, so there’s rarely a need to reorient an item in order to scan it.
For best scanning results...
• Move items through the scan zone in their natural orientation.
It’
s not necessary to reorient the bar code toward either the hor-
izontal or vertical scan window.
• Sliding or pushing items rather than picking them up will avoid
the
gripping, twisting and rotating movements that can cause
repetitive motion injuries to hands and wrists. The strain of lift-
ing potentially thousands of pounds per day can also be relieved
us
ing this technique.
