Aiming
Hold at an angle
Do not hold the scanner directly over the bar code. In this
position, light can bounce back into the exit window and
prevent a successful decode.
The scanner has a two position trigger. Press the trigger to the
first detent and center the "collapsed" beam on the target bar
code. The collapsed beam helps to establish the correct scanning
position. Press the trigger to the second detent, and a scan beam
crosses all the bars and spaces on the bar code.
Right
Scan the Entire Symbol
• The scan beam must cross every bar and space on the
symbol (as in the left bar code below).
• The larger the symbol, the farther away you should
hold the scanner.
• Hold the scanner closer for symbols with bars that are
close together.
