Reading Techniques

The imager has a bright red aiming beam that corresponds to its horizontal field of view. The aiming beam should be centered horizontally over the bar code; it will not read if the aiming beam is in any other direction.

Bad Technique

The best focus point for reading most code densities is about 5 inches (12.7 cm) from the unit. To read a single bar code or multiple bar codes (on a page or on an object), hold the imager at an appropriate distance from the target, pull the trigger, and center the aiming beam on the bar code.

Resetting the Standard Product Defaults
