Operation

Scanning Items

Item bar codes are scanned by either...

• sliding or pushing items through the scan volume in a right-to-left or left-to-

right motion (see

Figure 2a). This is known as “Sweep” scanning, and is the

best choice for high throughput super- and hypermarket installations where

it is necessary to minimize the need to grip or lift items.

• moving the bar code directly toward the scan window to be read (see

Figure 2b). This “Presentation” technique is most often used in low

throughput variety, convenience market and pharmacy applications where

useable countertop space is at a premium and “Sweep” scanning is not possi-

ble.

With FirstStrike

decoding software, the scanner can read most hard-to-read

codes quickly and without excess orientation.
