ON 9 SCANNING TIPS Practice to determine the best scanning angle and distance for your type of bar code Scan Angle For best results position the scanner at an angle to the bar code at least 15 from perpendicular Otherwise light can bounce back into the scanner and blind the sensing mechanism Aiming Beam Aim the laser so that the red beam covers the entire width of the bar code YES Y NO X HL HAN 1 23004 56007 0 1 23004 56007 0 10 Scanning Distance e The optimal scanning distance varies depending on the bar code size symbology label media W N Ratio and scan angle In general the CRS 9M can successfully scan 1 0 to 30 inches from the bar code and the CRS 9P can successfully scan 1 0 to 40 inches from the bar code e The larger the bar code the further away you should position the scanner e The tighter the bars of the bar code the closer you should position the scanner ABOUT THE CABLE BREAK AWAY The CRS is designed to break away from the hand if subjected to unusual force This break away feature is designed to reduce the possibility or extent of injury to the body in the event the CRS becomes entangled in industrial equipment If the cable breaks away from the ring scanner unit during use simply plug it back in to resume operation Note Whenever the cable disconnects from the ring scanner it will beep 3 times CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 11 2 HARDWARE PREPARATION CHARGI
