C39 Operating the Sabre 1550 Laser Scanner Before you start scanning, make sure the power to the reader/terminal is on and all cable connections are secure. 1.

To help you center the laser beam on the correct bar code, the scanners with long-range or high-visibility optics have a marker beam that will appear when you pull the trigger. 2.
C39 Hold the scanner at a slight angle or pitch to the bar code. The laser beam will quickly read the bar code. *1 23 * Vertical reading angles (pitch) 155XQG.003 For scanners with long-range or high-visibility optics, use the marker beam to center the scanner’s laser beam on the bar code you want to scan.
C39 Hands-Free Scanning If you have an auto-trigger scanner (1550C0100), you can use the scanner stand for hands-free scanning. To order a scanner stand, see “Accessories” later in this guide. Note: Using the IRL Z command for remote triggering will not work with the Sabre 1550 scanner. To scan a bar code using the scanner stand Holder 1. Place the scanner handle on the bottom ledge of the holder and then rotate the handle in the holder until it locks into place. 2.
C39 Troubleshooting This table lists common scanner problems and their solutions. Problem Solution Scanner cannot read certain bar codes. The reader/terminal was not set up to read this type of bar code, or the bar code is damaged, covered up, or poor quality. Scan another bar code on a similar item. If it scans, clean the bar code giving you trouble. If you are still unable to scan the bar code, enable other bar code symbologies in the reader/terminal.
C39 Maintaining the Sabre 1550 Laser Scanner Water or grime on the window of the scanner distorts the laser beam and may impair performance. Moving from one temperature extreme to another causes condensation to form on the optical surfaces and also affects scanner performance. Follow these guidelines to maintain the scanner: • Clean the window with a cotton cloth moistened with an ammonia or water solution. Dry with a soft cotton cloth or allow to air dry. • Do not use a dry tissue to wipe the window.
