programed accordingly.
Scanning Tips
• For larger bar codes, hold the RS309 farther away from the bar code.
• For bar codes with bars that are closer together, hold the RS309 closer to the
bar code.
• The optimal scanning distance varies with bar code density, but 10 to 25 cm (4
to 10 inches) generally works. Practice to determine what distances to work
within.
• Position the scanner at an angle to the bar code. If the scanner is
perpendicular to the bar code being scanned, light can bounce back into the
scanner's exit window and prevent a successful decode.
