4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Basic Scanning
Point the scanner's laser beam at the barcode you wish to scan. Ensure the entire barcode is covered by the laser line. Press the trigger button (if in manual mode) or allow the scanner to automatically detect the barcode (in continuous or auto-sensing mode).

4.2 Scanning Modes
The Onewscan 652wl supports three primary scanning modes:
- Manual Trigger Mode: Press the trigger button to initiate each scan.
- Continuous Scan Mode: The scanner continuously emits a laser beam and scans barcodes automatically without needing to press the trigger for each item.
- Auto-sensing Scan Mode: When placed on the adjustable stand, the scanner automatically switches to self-sensing mode, scanning items placed in its field. When removed from the stand, it reverts to manual key mode.

4.3 Data Editing Functions
The scanner supports advanced data editing features, allowing you to customize the output of scanned barcodes:
- Add Prefix: Insert characters at the beginning of the scanned data.
- Add Suffix: Append characters to the end of the scanned data.
- Insert In The Middle: Add characters at a specific position within the scanned data.
- Hide Front/End: Remove a specified number of characters from the beginning or end of the scanned data.
Refer to the included programming guide (usually a small booklet with barcodes) to configure these settings by scanning the appropriate setup barcodes.
4.4 Beep Settings
The scanner's beep sound can be adjusted or turned off. Consult the programming guide for specific barcodes to enable or disable the beep sound.
5. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the scanner's exterior. For the scanning window, use a lens cleaning cloth to avoid scratches. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Storage: Store the scanner in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Battery Care: To prolong battery life, avoid fully discharging the battery frequently. Charge the scanner regularly, especially if it will not be used for an extended period.
- Physical Protection: The scanner features anti-shock silicone (IP54 rated) to protect against minor drops and impacts. However, avoid severe impacts or dropping the device from significant heights.
