4. Operating the Scanner
4.1 Scanning Barcodes
The scanner is capable of reading both 1D and 2D barcodes, including those displayed on screens.
- Aiming: Point the scanner's light beam directly at the barcode you wish to scan.
- Distance: Maintain an appropriate distance from the barcode (typically a few centimeters to several inches) for optimal reading.
- Confirmation: A successful scan is usually indicated by an audible beep and/or a visual indicator (e.g., LED light).

This image demonstrates the scanner's high-speed capability, processing 200 scans per second with its 32-bit high-speed CPU. It shows the scanner successfully reading a 2D barcode from a smartphone display.
4.2 Scanning Modes
The scanner supports three primary operating modes:
- Key Trigger Mode: Press the trigger button to initiate a scan.
- Continuous Scan Mode: The scanner continuously emits a scanning beam, reading barcodes as they pass through the field of view without needing to press the trigger.
- Automatic Induction Mode: The scanner automatically detects a barcode within its field of view and initiates a scan.
Refer to the Quick Start Guide for instructions on how to switch between these scanning modes using configuration barcodes.

This image highlights the scanner's powerful decoding capabilities, showing it can read a wide range of 1D and 2D barcodes, even those that are damaged, reflective, or twisted, with a minimum resolution of 5 mil.
5. Maintenance
5.1 Cleaning
To maintain optimal scanning performance, keep the scanner's optical window clean.
- Use a soft, lint-free cloth, slightly dampened with water or a mild cleaning solution.
- Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the scanner's surface or optical components.
- Ensure the scanner is disconnected from its power source before cleaning.
5.2 Durability
The scanner features a shockproof design engineered to withstand repeated drops from 1.2 meters (approximately 4 feet) onto concrete surfaces. While robust, avoid unnecessary drops or impacts to prolong the device's lifespan.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your scanner, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- Scanner not recognized by computer:
- Ensure the USB cable is securely connected to both the scanner and the computer.
- Try connecting the scanner to a different USB port.
- Restart your computer.
- Scanner not reading barcodes:
- Ensure the barcode is clean, clear, and not excessively damaged.
- Adjust the scanning distance and angle.
- Check if the scanner is in the correct operating mode (e.g., Key Trigger Mode requires pressing the button).
- Note: The scanner is not suitable for reading barcodes printed on highly reflective silver paper.
- Incorrect data output:
- Refer to the Quick Start Guide for advanced configuration options, such as adding prefixes/suffixes or changing keyboard layouts.
For more detailed troubleshooting steps, consult the Quick Start Guide included with your product. Compatibility with Google Chrome OS is uncertain.
