(1D) barcode symbols. The effective reading distance of the barcode reader varies
depending on the barcode size.
Scanning 1D Barcodes:
To scan a 1D barcode, first activate the scanner. Then position the scanning
head as close as possible to the barcode label so that the scan line crosses both
ends of the barcode as shown on the figure below.
Slowly pull back the unit, while increasing the distance between the barcode
and scanning head, until the barcode has been read by the scanner.
Linea TAB Mini supports different types of scan:
- Single Scan
- Multi Scan

Card Reading
Reading Magnetic Stripes:
The Linea TAB Mini has a built-in magnetic card reader. The card reader
incorporates a (3) track magnetic read head, requiring a single swipe to read field
data from all three tracks.
The magnetic reading head faces up, towards the top of the bottom cover of
the cradle. When swiping the card into the reader, the magnetic stripe must be facing
down, as shown in the figure below. Keep the edge of the card flat on the inner base
of the reader to ensure that the magnetic stripe passes over the reading head evenly.
