Using the Terminal’s Scanner
Warning
Do not look directly into the window area or at a reflection of the laser beam while
the laser is scanning. Long-term exposure to the laser beam can damage your vision.
Avertissement
Ne regardez pas directement la réflexion dun rayon laser ou dans la fenêtre du laser
lorsque celui-ci est en opération. Si vous regardez trop longtemps un rayon laser, cela
peut endommager votre vue.
You can use the scanner to scan and enter bar code data. When you press the Scan
button or one of the side scan buttons, the scanner emits a beam of laser light that is
visible on the bar code label as you scan it. The terminal decodes the bar code and
enters the data or command you scanned.
Note:
The Scan button on the keypad and the side scan buttons on the terminal do not
activate the tethered input device that may be connected to the terminal.
When you unpack the 243X, these three bar code symbologies are enabled:
Code 39
Code 128
UPC/EAN
To scan other bar code symbologies, you must enable them on the 243X. For help, find
the symbology in Chapter 6 of the 2400 Family system manual.
To scan a bar code label with the scanner
1. Press to turn on the terminal.
2.
Hold the terminal at a slight angle a few inches from the bar code label. The scanner
must be pointing toward the label.
