Quick Reference
Scanning with the PPT 2700
The PPT 2700 has an integrated scanner which collects data by
scanning bar codes. See the PPT 2700 Product Reference Guide
for information on configuring your terminal for scanning.
To scan bar codes with the PPT 2700:
1. Aim the scanner at the bar code.
2. Press either the right, left, or center scan trigger. Make sure
the red scan beam covers the entire bar code. The green
scan LED lights and a beep sounds to indicate a successful
decode.
Scanning PDF417 Bar Codes
The 2D scanning PPT 2700 terminal supports PDF417 bar code
scanning. The raster pattern has multiple scanning rows to
accommodate the PDF417 symbol’s multiple rows.
1. Point the scanner at the bar code and press the trigger.
2. Center the aiming pattern (a spot or slab raster, as pro-
grammed) on the bar code.
3. As the raster pattern spreads, keep the pattern horizontal to
the bar code. Be sure the pattern extends about 3/4” beyond
both sides of the bar code.
