3. Operating Instructions
3.1 Scanning Barcodes
To scan a 1D barcode:
- Ensure the scanner is powered on and connected to your host device.
- Point the scanner's laser window at the barcode you wish to scan. A bright red laser line will appear, acting as an aiming guide.
- Press the scan button (the large orange button) on the top of the scanner.
- A successful scan will typically be indicated by a beep sound (if not muted) and the data being transmitted to your connected device.

The scanner is optimized for fast and reliable decoding of 1D barcodes, even those that are damaged, poorly printed, or distorted.
3.2 Adjusting Volume
The scanner features built-in volume control buttons on its side. Use these buttons to adjust the beep sound level or to mute it entirely, depending on your working environment.

3.3 Offline Scanning Mode
The scanner includes 16MB of internal storage, allowing it to store over 100,000 UPC/EAN barcodes when operating in offline mode. This is useful when out of range of a connected device. To upload stored data, connect the scanner to your device via USB or 2.4G wireless, and the data will be transferred.
4. Maintenance and Charging
4.1 Charging the Battery
The EY-023L scanner is equipped with a 1500mAh rechargeable battery. To charge the scanner:
- Connect the provided USB cable to the USB-C port on the scanner.
- Connect the other end of the USB cable to a power source (e.g., computer USB port, USB wall adapter).
- Charging typically takes approximately 4 hours for a full charge.
A full charge provides up to 16 hours of continuous scanning, allowing for extended use. The 4-stage LED battery indicator on the scanner displays the current power level (25/50/75/100%).
