ASP Portable Barcode Reader
Scanning Hints
• Scanning speed is 3 to 30 inches per second, so scanning should be uniform
and rapid; fast scans work best.
• The wand should remain in contact with the label, but without pressure.
• Start scanning in the white space before the label (about a centimetre from
the bars), do not wander off part way along the barcode, and follow through
into the white space following the barcode.
• Relax your hand - a stiff or jerky action won't produce good results.
• Read labels on a flat surface.
• Avoid using poor quality labels or inappropriate types of barcodes. If in
doubt, discuss this with your dealer.
• Guard against barcode damage such as:
• Liquid spills on the barcode symbol (coffee, etc).
• Ink smearing or erased bars which may result from too much pressure
on the barcode surface.
• Scratches through the barcode symbol.
• Writing across the barcode symbol.
• The use of protective clear tape over the label will prolong the useful life of
the symbol.
ASP's Portable BCR has been designed to provide a high first read rate when a
good symbol is scanned. A low first read rate is normally caused by either a
damaged barcode symbol or improper operation of the system by the operator.
