3. Operating Instructions
3.1 Basic Scanning
To scan a barcode:
- Ensure the scanner is connected and powered on.
- Point the scanning window at the barcode you wish to read.
- Press and hold the blue trigger button. A red scanning line will emit from the scanner.
- Position the scanner so the red line crosses the entire barcode.
- Upon successful scan, the scanner will emit an audible beep, and the indicator light will flash. The barcode data will be transmitted to your computer as if typed via a keyboard.
3.2 Scanning Modes
The Syble XB-2058 supports multiple scanning methods:
- Manual Mode: Press the trigger button to activate the scan. Release to stop.
- Automatic Mode: When placed on its stand, the scanner can automatically detect and scan barcodes presented within its field of view without requiring a trigger press.
- Successive Mode: Allows for continuous scanning of multiple barcodes without needing to repress the trigger for each scan, as long as barcodes are presented sequentially.
3.3 Scan Performance
The scanner offers a scan speed of 300 times per second, with a depth of field ranging from 0-28 cm and a scanning range of 1-27 cm. Optimal performance is achieved when barcodes are clean, clearly printed, and presented within these parameters.
4. Maintenance
4.1 Cleaning
To maintain optimal scanning performance, keep the scanning window clean.
- Use a soft, lint-free cloth, slightly dampened with water or a mild, non-abrasive cleaner.
- Gently wipe the scanning window.
- Do not use harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive materials, as these can damage the scanner's surface.
4.2 Storage
When not in use, store the scanner in a clean, dry environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
