Hold the scanner comfortably in hand and align the imager with the barcode; press the trigger if required or present the barcode for automatic capture in hands-free mode. For reading barcodes displayed on mobile screens, position the device so the barcode is fully visible to the imager and move slowly if necessary to ensure a stable read.

Recommendations

Use the optional foldable smart stand when performing frequent hands-free scanning to increase throughput and reduce operator movement. Keep the scanner’s window clean and avoid exposing the device to prolonged direct sunlight or liquids to maintain reliable performance.
