1. To remove the top cover, unscrew the four T8 Torx screws.

2. Using the flat-head screwdriver, pop out the top cover from the first two latches to remove it. Note: The top cover is easily removed because the latches are loosened when the first four screws were removed.

3. For the remaining latches, slide the cover forward instead of pulling the top up. The Linea Pro 7 Plus top cover is removed.

Attach iOS Device

1. Attach the iOS device to the Lightning™ connector by firmly sliding it into place.

2. Align the front cover with the two hooks, and then slide it down by pressing gently back into place.

3. Tighten all four screws on the back cover to further secure the top cover.

Scan BarcodesThe scan engine in the Linea Pro 7 Plus 1D model supports one-dimensional (1D) barcode symbols. The 2D model scan engine supports one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) barcode symbols. The effective reading distance of the barcode reader varies based on the barcode size. For example, 15-20 cm (5.9-7.9 inches).These types of scanning modes are supported:

• Single scan

• Multi-scan

• Motion detect

• Multi-scan without duplicates

To scan a barcode

1. Press and hold the Scan button on either side of the unit to activate the Linea Pro 7 Plus.

2. Position the scan head as close to the center of the barcode label by aiming the illumination box over the outer edges of the barcode.

3. Pull the unit back slowly back or forth, increasing the distance between the barcode and scan head, until the barcode is read by the scanner. Data is displayed on the iOS device.

Read Contactless Cards (Optional)The contactless card reader incorporates several RFID formats depending on your Linea Pro 7 Plus model.

To use the contactless card reader

1. Press the Scan button to activate the unit.

2. Place the RFID tag/card over the receiver/transmitter as indicated by the RFID label.

Note Data is sent from the Linea Pro 7 Plus contactless card reader to the iOS device.
