1. 
Ensure that all connections are secure. 
2. 
Turn on your Host. 
3. 
Aim the scanner at a barcode. Ensure that the scanner is in trigger mode 
(default), and press the trigger. 
4. 
On successful decode, the blue LED light will turn on and off and the scanner will 
beep once. 
  
Tip 
 
Do not hold the scanner directly over a barcode at 90˚. Scanning light bounces 
directly back into the scanner from the barcode label is known as specular reflection 
which will create a "dead zone" where decoding is difficult. Practice a few times to find 
what range of angles works best. 
 
Maintenance 
Cleaning the scan window is the only maintenance required.  A dirty window may 
affect scanning accuracy. 
 
Wipe the scanner window gently with a lens tissue or other material suitable for 
cleaning optical material.
 
 
Do not spray water or other cleaning liquids directly onto the window.
