Tips

For optimal performance, position the scanner at a slight angle to avoid reflections from glossy barcodes. Use the USB HID keyboard mode for plug-and-play operation with most POS software, or switch to virtual COM for custom applications. Regularly clean the scan window with a soft, lint-free cloth to maintain reading accuracy.
