Operation

Scanning Items

To scan items using the scanner, slide or push them through the scan zone as shown on
this page. The scanner will work equally well with either a left-to-right or right-to-left
motion through the scan zone. There is no need to reorient an item's bar code since the
scanner can "see" the left, right, front and back side, as well as the top and bottom of an
item.
Here are some tips for best scanning results:

Quick Reference Guide
Don't favor either the horizontal or
vertical scan windows. Keep items in
their natural orientation.
Remember to slide or push items
rather than picking them up. By
avoiding any gripping, twisting and

you can prevent repetitive motion
injuries. This technique also relieves
you from possibly lifting thousands
of pounds per day.
