Bar Code Decoding

The MK3000 decodes any traditional retail 1D or 2D (imager-based only) bar code presented in its field of view.

Scanning with the MK3000

When scanning a bar code using the laser-based MK3000:
•
Hold the bar code at an angle that does not cause specular reflection (see
1-7).
•
Hold the bar code close for small bar codes and farther away for large bar codes.
•
The MK3000 beeps to indicate a successful decode.
