Using the Scanner

NOTE Not to be used in condensing environments.

To scan bar codes:

1.

Turn on the wearable terminal.

2.

Launch a scanning application.

If using the RS5000 with a WT41N0 wearable terminal, allow a minute or more for the RS5000 to charge.

NOTE When the RS5000 with power buffer is connected to a WT41N0, the RS5000 requires a minute or more to recharge after it is powered down for an extended period of time.

3.

4.

Press the scan trigger and aim the RS5000 at a bar code.

Ensure the bar code is within the area formed by the aiming pattern. The aiming dot is used for increased visibility in bright lighting conditions.

If the decode is successful the LED lights green. The terminal beeps if programed accordingly.

Scanning Tips

• For larger bar codes, hold the RS5000 farther away from the bar code.

• For bar codes with bars that are closer together, hold the RS5000 closer to the bar code.

• The optimal scanning distance varies with bar code density, but 10 to 25 cm (4 to 10 inches) generally works.

Practice to determine what distances to work within.
