Operating Instructions
The ZEB-BS1H1000 is designed for simple and efficient barcode scanning.
- Scanning a Barcode:
Hold the scanner with a firm grip. Point the scanning window towards the barcode you wish to scan. Press and hold the trigger button. A red laser line will project from the scanning window. Position the laser line across the entire barcode. Once successfully scanned, the scanner will emit a beep (from the inbuilt buzzer) and the LED indicator will flash.

- Scan Confirmation: The audible beep and visual LED flash confirm a successful scan. The scanned data will be transmitted to your connected device as if typed from a keyboard.
- Scan Angle: The scanner supports a wide range of scan angles for flexibility: Pitch: ±30°, Skew: ±45°, Roll: ±60°.
- Scan Rate: The scanner operates at a rate of 200 scans per second for quick and efficient data capture.

Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your barcode scanner.
- Cleaning: Regularly clean the scanning window with a soft, lint-free cloth. For stubborn dirt, slightly dampen the cloth with water or a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could scratch the window.
- Storage: When not in use, store the scanner in a clean, dry environment away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Handling: Handle the scanner with care. Avoid dropping it or subjecting it to strong impacts, which can damage internal components.
- Laser Safety: CAUTION: Avoid staring directly into the laser beam. While the laser is low-power, direct exposure to the eye should be avoided.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your ZEB-BS1H1000 scanner, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Scanner not responding / No LED or Buzzer | Not properly connected to USB port or insufficient power. | Ensure the USB cable is securely plugged into both the scanner and the host device. Try a different USB port or a different host device. |
| Scanner not reading barcodes | Barcode is damaged or poorly printed; scanning window is dirty; incorrect scanning angle; scanner is not configured for the barcode type. | Ensure the barcode is clear and undamaged. Clean the scanning window. Adjust the scanning angle and distance. Refer to the product's full programming manual (if available) for advanced configuration. |
| Scanned data is incorrect or incomplete | Partial scan; incorrect data format settings. | Ensure the entire barcode is covered by the laser line during scanning. Check the software settings on your host device for correct data input format. |
| Scanner frequently disconnects | Loose USB connection; faulty USB cable or port. | Verify the USB connection is firm. Try a different USB cable or port. If the issue persists, contact customer support. |
