LED Definitions
In addition to beeper sequences, the scanner communicates with the user using a two-color LED display. Table 2-2 defines LED colors
that display during scanning.

4. Upon successful decode, the scanner beeps and the LED turns green. (For more information about beeper and LED
definitions, see Table 2-1 and Table 2-2.)
Scan line lengths vary depending on the scan line width selected (see Scan Line Width on page 4-8). A full
scan line width is the default. Medium and short scan line widths are useful for scanning menus or pick-lists.
