Videk 2030 manual Targeting and Reading Techniques, To read a symbol with the VS

1.8 - Targeting and Reading Techniques

The VS 2030 utilizes digital camera technology to take a picture of a symbol. Once an image is captured, the VS 2030 utilizes advanced decoding algorithms to extract data from the captured image.

The VS 2030 features left and right triggers (the red buttons on the top of the reader). These triggers may be programmed to perform various features. The reader is shipped with the left trigger and right trigger functioning as a decode symbol command.

The handle has a trigger on the grip. The two triggers on the top of the unit also work when the handle is attached.

To read a symbol with the VS 2030:

1.The VS 2030 features omnidirectional decoding. Center the symbol in any orientation within the laser dot aiming pattern.

Note: The VS 2030 can read a symbol that is not centered; however, the VS 2030 performs best when a code is centered. If two (2) bar codes are with the imagers decode zone, the VS 2030 will decode the symbol closest to the center of the aiming dot.

2.The VS 2030 was developed to decode both very small 2-dimensional symbols and larger 1-dimen- sional symbols. The unit has an innovative dual field decode zone. The VS 2030 DECODES BOTH ZONES SIMULTANEOUSLY. The unit has a lens focused on a near-field for smaller codes (optimal focal point is 4 inches) and one lens focused on a far-field for larger codes (optimal focal point 9 inches). To read smaller symbols move the VS 2030 closer to the symbol. To read larger symbols move the unit farther away from the symbol. The entire VS 2030 decode zone varies between two

(2”) and twenty (20+”) or more inches. For postal codes the range is between eight (8”) and ten (10”) inches.

3.Hold the VS 2030 steady - DO NOT SWIPE OR MOVE THE READER. Press the trigger until the VS 2030 beeps, indicating the code has been successfully decoded.

4.The reader may be optimized to your specific environment by scanning codes in Chapter 2.
