• Angle
Scanning angle is important for promoting quick decodes.
The MC9500-K scans at a 15° angle which improves scanning ergonomics.
• Hold the MC9500-K farther away for larger symbols.
• Move the MC9500-K closer for symbols with bars that are close together.
Laser Scanning
1. Ensure that a scan enabled application is loaded on the MC9500-K.

2. Press and hold the scan button. The laser beam exits from the end of the MC9500-K. Ensure the red scan
beam covers the entire bar code. The Decode LED lights red to indicate that scanning is in process, then lights
green and a beep sounds, by default, to indicate the bar code was decoded successfully.
