P460/P360 Memory Scanners Product Reference Guide Note: Advanced data formatting rules created with ADF Plus are for use with the default applications only and will not work with applications created with MCL-Designer. Scanning The scanner ships with the default application and default parameters that is ready-to-use right out of the box.
Operation • The larger the symbol, the farther away you should hold the scanner. • Hold the scanner closer for symbols with bars that are close together. • A short, high tone beep indicates a good decode.
P460/P360 Memory Scanners Product Reference Guide Hold at an Angle Do not hold the scanner directly over the bar code. Laser light reflecting directly back into the scanner from the bar code is known as specular reflection. This strong light can “blind” the scanner and make decoding difficult. The area where specular reflection occurs is known as a “dead zone.” You can tilt the scanner up to 65° forward or back and still achieve a successful decode.
