the terminal. DO NOT force the module into the connector or you may damage the
module connector, the terminal connector, or both.
5. Insert the three screws into the module and tighten them to secure the scan module to
the terminal.
Using the Standard Range Scan Module
The standard range laser scan module emits a beam of laser light that is visible on a bar
code label as you scan it. The terminal decodes the bar code label and enters the data or
command you scanned.
This section only explains the standard range scan module. For help using the other scan
modules, see the instruction sheet that ships with the module.
Warning
Do not look directly into the window area or at a reflection of the laser beam while
the laser is scanning. Long-term exposure to the laser beam can damage your vision.
Avertissement
Ne regardez pas directement la réflexion d’un rayon laser ou dans la fenêtre du laser
lorsque celui-ci est en opération. Si vous regardez trop longtemps un rayon laser, cela
peut endommager votre vue.
To scan a bar code label with the standard range scan module
1. Press L to turn on the terminal.
2. Hold the terminal at a slight angle a few inches from the bar code label. The laser
scan window in the scan module must be pointing toward the label.
3. Push the Scan button on the keypad. Direct the beam so that it falls across all bars in
the bar code label. After the terminal successfully reads the label, you hear a high
beep. The scanner stays on or turns off depending on the scanning options you have
configured.
When the scanner laser beam is on, both scanner light emitting diodes (LEDs) at the
top of the keypad are lit in a yellow color. Once the bar code label is scanned
successfully, the LEDs are lit in a green color. The LEDs turn off after 2 seconds
unless you start scanning another label.
Note: Some of the scanning options described in the next section let you scan
multiple bar code labels without having to press the Scan button each time. The
yellow LEDs stay lit any time the scanner laser beam is on.
