2.1AIMING SYSTEM
The PowerScan® D8530 reader uses an intelligent aiming system similar to those on cameras. By partially pulling the trigger, the aiming system indicates a field of view to be positioned over the code:

When you pull the trigger completely a red beam illuminates the code. If the aiming system is centered and the entire symbology is within the aiming system, you will get a good read. The field of view changes size as you move the reader closer or farther away from the code.
