Chapter 2 Scanning
Introduction
This chapter covers the techniques involved in scanning bar codes, beeper and LED definitions, and general
instructions and tips about scanning.
Scanning
An omni scan pattern provides rapid, orientation-free scanning. Scanning can be done as either a hands-free or
hand-held operation.
To scan a bar code, direct it in toward the window of the scanner (“presentation” scanning, see Figure 2-4 on page
2-3) or from side to side in a sweeping motion (“swipe” scanning, see Figure 2-5 on page 2-4).
1. Ensure all cable connections are secure.
