Hi Allison.
I completely understand where you are coming from.
This product is wonderful, but it just takes time to get used to it.
I honestly have had a difficult time scanning the bar codes on boxes too. It
takes me awhile to find it because some boxes have the bar code on the
bottom.
You don't have to hold the product directly in front of the scanning window.
I usually put it about five inches away.
I've noticed that cans and other containers, such as salsa, or sour cream
are pretty easy to scan because they are round and the bar code reader is
not hard to find.
Hope this helps,
Rebeca

Subject: [CnD] Summit I.d. mate
Hi everyone,
We just got our Summit IddD mate and we like it, but we're having trouble
with scanning. I've tried to scan a cereal box and I can't get it to show
a reading, let alone read the package info. Any tips and tricks by those
of you who use it would be appreciated. Is it better to move the scanner
or the thing to be scanned? Thanks for any help.
