Reading Techniques

The imager has a view finder that projects a bright red or green aiming beam that corresponds to the imager’s horizontal field of view. The aiming beam should be centered over the bar code, but it can be positioned in any direction for a good read.

The aiming beam is smaller when the imager is closer to the code and larger when it is farther from the code. Symbologies with smaller bars or elements (mil size) should be read closer to the unit. Symbologies with larger bars or elements (mil size) should be read farther from the unit. To read single or multiple symbols (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 symbol. If the code being scanned is highly reflective (e.g., laminated), it may be necessary to tilt the code +5° to prevent unwanted reflection.
