Scanning
To scan a barcode, aim the scanner at the barcode and press the trigger button to scan. Ensure the barcode is within the specified field of depth for accurate scanning. To maximize battery life, avoid continuous scanning for long periods.
When scanning, you may need to move the scanner in and out to zoom in or out the illumination pattern to center it on the barcode. The scanner will beep when it successfully reads a barcode and the green LED will illuminate.
Your products will need to be configured for scanning. If you scan a product that is not configured, the option to add the product will appear.
