How to Scan Figure 2 illustrates some tips to help get the best scanning results: 1. The scanner must be pointed at a slight angle to the bar code. Do not hold the scanner perpendicular to the bar code. 2. The laser beam must cross the entire bar code. The scanner cannot correctly read if the entire bar code is not scanned. Figure 2.

Scanning Range There are currently four different model types for this scanner. Depending upon the model type of your scanner, you’ll need to hold the unit at a given distance from the bar code to achieve optimum scanning results. The following diagrams provide range of field infor- mation for each of the models when scanning grade A, Code 39 bar codes: Standard Range (SR), High Density (HD), Long Range (LR) and Extra Long Range (XLR). In the context of the illustration below, a "mil" repre
