Scanning Tips

• For best results, hold the scanner at an appropriate distance (typically 5-20 cm) from the barcode.
• Ensure the barcode is flat and not creased or damaged.
• Avoid scanning barcodes at extreme angles; try to keep the scanner perpendicular to the barcode.
• In brightly lit environments, try to shade the barcode or adjust the scanning angle to minimize glare.

Maintenance

Cleaning the Scanner

• Regularly clean the scanner's exterior and the scanning window to ensure optimal performance.
• Use a soft, lint-free cloth slightly dampened with water or a mild, non-abrasive cleaning solution.
