Scanning Barcodes
The CPMobile sled uses a barcode scanner that reads one-dimensional (1D) barcodes. The effective reading distance of the barcode scanner varies depending on the size of the barcode. In general, we recommend a scanning distance of 15-20 centimeters (approximately six inches).
To scan a barcode:
-
Press and hold the scan button.
-
Position the scan head as close to the barcode label as possible so that the scan line crosses both ends of the barcode.
-
Slowly pull back the unit, increasing the distance between the barcode and the scanner until the scan is successful (indicated by a beep).
