Scan a barcode using the optional barcode scanner
The instrument is compatible with an optional Handheld Barcode Scanner
(Cat. No. 4488442, purchased separately). The barcode scanner reads
Code 128 (alphanumeric), which supports 128 ASCII character barcodes.
1.
Click the Barcode eld.
2.
Hold the scanner 20–30 cm away from a plate or container label and aim at the
center of the barcode, then press the trigger.
3.
Slowly move the scanning beam across the barcode until the scanner emits a
high-pitched tone.
When the scanner scans a barcode, it automatically transmits the following
information:
• Transmits the alphanumeric equivalent of the barcode to the barcode eld.
• Transmits other reagent information (Lot #, Part #, Expiration Date, etc.)
For more information about the hand-held barcode scanner, see the user
documentation provided with the barcode scanner.
