Operating the Sabre 1550 Laser Scanner
Before you start scanning, make sure the power to the
reader/terminal is on and all cable connections are secure.
1. Aim the scanner at a slight angle or pitch to the bar code and
press the trigger. To help you center the laser beam on the
correct bar code, the scanners with long-range or
high-visibility optics have a marker beam that will appear
when you pull the trigger.
2. When you get a successful read the laser beam turns off, the
scanner beeps once, and the light turns green.
Scanning Tips
Adjust the scanner distance to the bar code and the position of
the laser beam to make sure every bar and space is scanned.
