In struc ti on of Operating
Rea ding Bar code
Hold the bar code underneath the bar code reader, the laser beam will
switch on automatically. The laser beam must register the complete bar
code for decoding. Depending on the size of label this happens at a
distance of approx. 10 to 20 cm.
A successful decoding of a bar code will be indicated by an accoustic signal.
After reading of the bar code the scanner switches off automatically and is
ready for reading the next label.
Bee pers Definitions
The beeper sequences provide the following indications:

Power-on or reset. Occurs immediately after
the unit is turned on, indicating that the system
software is working properly. If three beeps
occur during normal operation, it is due to a
reset and any work in progress is lost. If this
occurs often, call Wincor Nixdorf Services
