How to use

Connect the scanner to an available USB port on a computer or point-of-sale terminal.

Point the scanner at the barcode keeping a stable distance and orientation, then press the trigger to activate illumination and capture. Confirm successful read by checking the host application for the decoded data or visual/audio feedback from the scanner.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, keep the scanner’s window clean and position the barcode within the scanner’s field of view. Use the wired USB connection for uninterrupted operation and avoid bending or straining the cable. If scans fail on damaged or poorly printed codes, try adjusting the distance and angle or use a higher contrast print or label replacement.
