Locating the Imager and the Scan Button
To use the area imager
1 Press the power button to turn on the CN3, point the scanner
window a few inches from the bar code label, and hold steady.
2 Press the Scan button and center the red aiming beam over the bar
code label. The aiming beam is smaller when the imager is closer
to the bar code and larger when it is further away.
3 When a bar code label is successfully read, a high beep is emitted
and the Good Read LED lights briefly. Release the Scan button.
Improving the Performance of the Area Imager
If you experience problems scanning a bar code with the 2D imager,
try following some of these tips to improve the performance of your
imager.
• Keep your hand as steady as possible while scanning a label.
• Position the imager as close to the bar code as possible while still
being able to capture the entire bar code.
• Enable only the bar codes that you need to use every day.
