Motorola DS6707 Scanning 2 - 5

Scanning 2 - 5
3. When the digital imager scanner senses movement, in its default Auto Aim trigger mode, it projects a red laser
aiming pattern (Figure 2-3) which allows positioning the bar code or object within the field of view. (To turn off
the default Auto Aim trigger mode, see Trigger Mode on page 4-8.) If necessary, the digital imager scanner
turns on its red LEDs to illuminate the target bar code.
The DS6707-DP version uses a donut-shaped pattern with a center aiming dot.

4. Center the symbol in any orientation within the aiming pattern. Be sure the entire symbol is within the
rectangular area formed by the brackets in the pattern.
When scanning with the DS6707-DP, ensure part of the bar code is visible on the inside of the donut-shaped
pattern.

5. Hold the trigger until the digital imager scanner beeps, indicating the bar code is successfully decoded. For
more information on beeper and LED definitions, see Table 2-1 and Table 2-2.
This process usually occurs instantaneously. Steps 2 - 4 are repeated on poor quality or difficult bar codes, until the
bar code is decoded, the trigger is released, or the Decode Session Timeout is reached.
