Problems Scanning

There is a periodic problem with the newer barcode scanners scanning too fast for dusty or worn labels. If the scanner requires multiple passes for scanning try the following:

  • Check the distance that you are scanning. The newer scanners shoot from a longer distance, generally 12-24 inches while the older ones scan from 6-18 inches.
  • Slow the scan rate down
  1. Go to page 4-9 in the code book.
  2. Scan inter-character delay code, and
  3. go to the back cover then
  4. scan 0,5,and save.
