Quick Reference: Laser Scanner on the 602 Pistol Grip

Quick Reference: Laser Scanner on the 602 Pistol Grip

End user  ·  Yellow Dog Inventory 2026

 WHY IT'S IMPORTANT

If the laser scanner will not read when the pistol grip is attached to your 602, the most common cause is that the Scan Handle setting is turned off. This quick reference shows where to confirm that setting so the pistol-grip trigger can fire the scanner.

Caution: The 602 has been sunset by the manufacturer. Yellow Dog provides limited support for this device, and a Yellow Dog sunset of the 602 is coming soon. Plan for a replacement device to avoid an interruption. 

 WHERE

From the Home screen: Settings  >  Docking Station  >  Scan Handle.

 HIGHLIGHTS

•      Open Settings from the Home screen, then select Docking Station.

•      Locate the Scan Handle entry near the bottom of the Docking Station list.

•      Make sure Enable Scan Handle is checked. When checked, the pistol-grip trigger fires the laser scanner.

Note: The on-screen toggle label reads Disable Scan Handle — that is the action the toggle performs, not its current state. A checked box means the scan handle is enabled.
