- For barcodes on reflective surfaces or screens, try adjusting the scanning angle to minimize glare.
6. Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your scanner:
- Cleaning the Casing: Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to wipe the exterior of the scanner. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth with a mild, non-abrasive cleaner can be used, ensuring no liquid enters the device.
- Cleaning the Scanning Window: Gently wipe the scanning window with a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh chemicals that could scratch the surface.
- Storage: Store the scanner in a clean, dry environment within the recommended storage temperature range of -20°C to 70°C.
- Handling: While the scanner is designed to be rugged with 1.2m drop resistance, avoid unnecessary drops or impacts to prevent potential damage.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your DDG175-01 scanner, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
