Issue:
Bar codes on the printed page are too compact to be scanned, especially with a long range scanner.
Solution 1 - Printing Adobe Acrobat PDF File Pages:
When printing pages from an Adobe Acrobat PDF file, there is a difference between laser printer types and how they handle
some Adobe Acrobat print functions – specifically, the “shrink to fit” option on the Print Options screen. Before clicking Print,
make sure the “Shrink oversized pages to paper size” checkbox is unchecked. If the bar code is still too small to be read by the
scanner engine, run the printed page through the laser printer again using the laser printer’s Zoom feature until the bar code is
large enough to scan satisfactorily.
When printing pages from an on-line Web page, run the printed page through a laser copier using the laser copier's Zoom
feature until the bar code is large enough to scan satisfactorily.
Solution 2 - Printing from a Browser Page:
Use the Print button on the browser menu. Bar codes must be printed at 600 dots per inch (dpi) before they can be successfully
scanned with a bar code reader.

Event Reporting
Mobile devices aren’t designed to process events triggered by a bar code decoder engine. Events are processed by the
operating system resident on the mobile device. Use Windows Control Panel options to set up the mobile device event
reporting parameters.
LED Mode
This parameter is disabled/inactive as the scan LEDs are controlled by the scanner driver, not the scanner engine.
