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
TM
decoding software, the scanner can read most hard-to-read
codes quickly and without excess orientation.
