1D BARCODE SCANNING
Using the 1D barcode scanner:
The Infinea TAB 1D uses a scan engine that supports one-dimensional (1D)
barcode symbols. The effective reading distance of the barcode reader varies
depending on the barcode size.
Scanning 1D Barcodes:
To scan a 1D barcode fist activate the scanner. Then position the scan 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.
Figure 7
Tips:
Slowly pull back the unit increasing the distance between the barcode and
scan head until the scan line crosses both ends of the barcode and the
barcode has been read by the scanner.!
