Scanner Usage

Technical Guide 2-5

Scanner Usage

1. Minimize handling of heavy/bulky products. Leave these items in

the cart and use an alternative entry method such as key entry of

short PLUs, or handheld scanning.

2. Regularly train cashiers in proper scanning methods and ergonomics

principles, such as:

• Develop a smooth fluid motion during scanning, sharing work

equally between hands.

• Use the entire hand for grasping and lifting items.

• Since the scanner reads labels on all four sides plus the top and

bottom, there is no need to turn a bar code toward either of the

scanner windows.

• Develop efficient scanning motions, not necessarily faster hand

movements. Simply slide the item across the scanner’s horizontal

window with as little orientation motion as necessary.

• Leave items in an upright position; do not lift and tilt.

• Learn how the scanner functions and where the scanning area is

located.

• Do not favor either the vertical or horizontal window; slide items

across the scanner in their natural orientations on the checkstand

as much as possible.

Site Preparation Overview

Consider the following factors before installing the scanner or scanner/

scale and its optional Remote Scale Display.

Ventilation Requirements —

The scanner operates without the use of

a ventilation fan. As long as there is adequate convective air flow and no

major heat producing equipment in close proximity, the unit’s housing

provides adequate heat dissipation. The air temperature in the checkstand

around the scanner must not exceed 104°F (40°C).
