If you are using a wired scanner, make sure the scanner is properly connected to the computer or POS. For USB connections, plug the scanner's USB cable into the computer's USB port. For other connections, such as RS232 or PS/2, connect the scanner to the computer according to the device's specifications.

If users are confused about connecting and setting up the scanner, you can provide connection guides or instructions to help users connect properly and prepare the environment for use.

When using the barcode scanner, please observe the following points to ensure scanning accuracy:

2.1 Maintain the correct distance and angle:

Keep the scanner at the correct distance and angle, generally recommended distance from the barcode is 2 to 8 inches (approx. 5 to 20 cm) and the angle is perpendicular to the barcode.

2.2 Place the barcode under the scan window:

Place the barcode to be scanned under the scanner window to ensure that the laser beam can smoothly scan the black and white stripes on the barcode. Remain steady and avoid shaking to ensure accurate scanning.

2.3 Use the scan button or trigger:

Some scanners are equipped with a scan button or trigger to allow the user to manually trigger a scan. Before scanning, press the button or trigger to start the scanning process. Some scanners also support automatic scanning, which triggers the scan when the scanner automatically detects a bar code.
