Unpacking and Inspecting Your Scanner

After unpacking your new scanner, check the contents of the ship-

ping carton to ensure all the items you ordered are included:

•PowerScan

™handheld scanner

•Interface Cable

•Power Supply (if you ordered one)

•User’s Guide (this manual)

•Programming Guide

•Optional Accessories that you ordered. (The PowerScan

handheld bar code scanner can be purchased with or without

accessory kits.)

If your package contains wrong or missing components, contact your

place of purchase. If there are damaged components, immediately file

a claim with the carrier. You may want to save your packing material

in case you need to ship the scanner at some later time.

NOTE

Manuals for the PowerScan scanner are available

on our website. See the back cover for our web

address.

Installation

Refer to Figure 1 and follow these steps to install the scanner:

Consult your host terminal manual to determine if power must be

turned off before connecting peripheral devices such as the scanner.

1. Should you need to disconnect the interface (I/F) cable from

the scanner, loosen the Phillips head screw at the bottom of

the handle and rotate the cable restraint clip away from the

cable to release it. Reverse this procedure to connect the

cable.

2. Connect the I/F cable to the proper port on the host terminal.

3. If your system requires an AC/DC adapter to power the

scanner, connect the adapter’s power cord at the I/F connec-

tor. (Note: In most cases, the scanner uses Power Off the Ter-

minal [P.O.T.], and does not require this step.) Contact your

PSC dealer if you’re not sure if an AC/DC adapter should be

used with your system.

4. Connect the AC/DC adapter at the wall outlet. (P.O.T. units

skip this step.)

5. Verify operation—point at a flat surface and pull the trigger.

A red beam should be visible. Scan a sample bar code and

confirm that the scanner reads the bar code by beeping and/

or sending the data to the host terminal.

Power Supply

The scanner requires either a Listed Class 2 or Listed LPS power

source which supplies power directly to the scanner.

CAUTION

Do not attempt to pull the End Cap off, as this may

damage the scanner.

How to Scan

Figure 2 illustrates some tips to help get the best scanning results:

1. The scanner must be pointed at a slight angle to the bar code.

Do not hold the scanner perpendicular to the bar code.

2. The laser beam must cross the entire bar code. The scanner

cannot correctly read if the entire bar code is not scanned.

Scanning Range

There are currently four different model types for this scanner.

Depending upon the model type of your scanner, you’ll need to hold

the unit at a given distance from the bar code to achieve optimum

scanning results. The following diagrams provide range of field infor-

mation for each of the models when scanning grade A, Code 39 bar

codes: Standard Range (SR), High Density (HD), Long Range (LR)

and Extra Long Range (XLR).

NOTE

In the context of the illustration below, a "mil" repre-

sents the minimum bar code element width. Mea-

surements are based on SR models set with the

standard 28°scan width (as opposed to the Half

Angle setting of 14°). Reference the PowerScan Pro-

gramming Manual (P/N R44-1840) for more informa-

tion about the Half Angle feature.
