Scanning Barcodes
Using the Linēa:
The Linēa uses a scan engine that supports one-dimensional (1D) and
two-dimensional (2D) barcode symbols. The effective reading distance
of the PP-55 barcode reader is approximately 10 cm.
Scanning 1D Barcodes:
To scan a 1D barcode, activate the scanner then position the read head
as close to the barcode label as possible so that the scan line crosses
both ends of the barcode as shown in the figure below. Slowly pull back
the unit increasing the distance between the barcode and read head
until the barcode has been read by the scanner.
