Using the Scanner

The scanner functions by capturing the barcode (object) image and decoding the codes. The bar code scanner is set by default for Automatic Object Sense Read Mode that activates the aiming system on object motion. The aiming system indicates the field of view as an indication of where the bar code or object should be located for decoding.

A red illumination lights up the label. The field of view indicated by the aiming system will be smaller when the scanner is closer to the bar 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.

If the aiming system is centered and the entire bar code is within the aiming field, you will get a good read. Successful reading is signaled by an audible tone plus a good-read green spot indication.

Refer to the HP Retail Integrated Barcode Scanner Programming Reference Guide (PRG) for more information about this feature and other programmable settings.
