Your IntelliScanner Scanabout connects to the USB port on your computer to send barcode information to IntelliScanner applications or any third-party applications.
IntelliScanner Scanabout connects to your computer via USB and also uses an AC power adapter for the base station. Both the USB cable and the power adapter need to be connected. Press the button on the underside of the handheld scanner and once the Scanabout plays three ascending tones, it is ready to scan.
Hold IntelliScanner Scanabout steady, aiming the scanning head at a barcode. You'll get the best results from 4-8 inches away from the barcode. Press the scan button, then make sure the reader is positioned so the red scan beam fully crosses all of the barcode bars. Once the entire barcode is clearly visible to the scanner, the barcode will be scanned with a short beep.
