How to use

Connect the scanner to a host device using the USB cable and allow the operating system to recognize the device; no external power supply is required. Position the scanner so the aiming field covers the barcode and pull the trigger or use automatic scan mode if supported by the host configuration. For on-screen barcodes, adjust distance until the barcode is fully visible within the imager field and trigger a read. Data is sent directly over the USB connection to the connected application for immediate processing.

Recommendations

Use the scanner in environments with stable ambient lighting and keep the imager window clean of dust and debris to maintain decoding reliability. For best results with damaged or poorly printed codes, position the scanner closer and ensure steady alignment. When integrating with POS or inventory software, verify that the host accepts keyboard emulation or HID input over USB if direct configuration is required.
