1. Place the wand comfortably in your hand, as if it were a pencil, and touch
the tip to the label. Tilt the wand slightly as shown earlier.
2. Place the tip of the wand in the white area at the beginning or end of the
bar code.
3. Using very light pressure, draw an imaginary line through the entire bar
code without stopping. You can scan the bar code in either direction.
