[email protected] From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: RE: using the metrologic 3780 barcode scannerDate: Thu, 31 Jul 2008 12:53:44 +0000
I have the metrologic ms3780 scanner and I don't have to press any button to get it to work. Perhaps it may be different from the mk3780 though. I had a friend help me to learn how to scan with it. First, the screen is sort of tilted upward in the unit so when you scan, try to check that the screen itself is parallel with the item you're scanning. Next, it works better from further away. Its best to hold the scanner about 30 inches from the package. I try to hold the scanner in one place while turning the package. This usually works for me. I have to say, the database is bretty comprehensive. In addition to food, I was able to scan a package of stick-on wire holder clipsand a new Netgear router. The database doesn't include some of my older canned goods though, so best to start with something new.HTHLisa> From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [email protected]> Subject: Re: using the metrologic 3780 barcode scanner> Date: Thu, 31 Jul 2008 00:05:24 -0400> > Hi Don,> The Metrologic ms3780 scanner will work continuesly if you put it in to its > stand.
