1.The linear imager must be pointed at a slight angle to the bar code so that the light reflected off the bar code can be “seen” by the linear imager. Do not hold the linear imager perpen- dicular to the bar code.
2.The targeting beam must cross the entire label. The linear imager cannot read the bar code data without seeing the entire label.
Scanning PDF417 Bar Codes (PDF models ONLY)
To read a PDF417 bar code, aim the targeting beam at the top of the bar code, and in a smooth motion, scan down through the bar code. You will hear a series of
ticks, followed by a final beep when the bar code’s content has been completely decoded. You may need to sweep the bar code
several times in order to com- plete the read.
