5. The device beeps and the green LED indicator comes on until the trig-
ger is released. The green LED and the beep tone indicate a good read.
6. The bar code data is entered in the current application.
7. Once a bar code is read successfully, the scanner turns off automatically.
Refer to the section on Scanner Configuration in the PRG to modify the
default settings.
Bar Code Scanning with 2D Imager
Scanning bar codes with the 2D imaging device is similar to scanning with a
laser scanner. The operation and configuration of the scanner is performed in
the same way as laser scanning devices. Trigger behavior and scanning time-
outs are the same as laser scanning devices.
Scanning Differences
Scanning Aimer
The imager contains an aiming beam rather than a red laser. The aiming beam
mimics a laser line for purposes of orienting the imager to a bar code. Figure
21 shows how the aiming beam visually differs from the laser beam in laser
scanning devices.
Figure 21. Laser vs. Imaging beam
Note that the aiming beam for the imager is green, rather than red.
If the bar code scan failed, adjust the reading angle or distance. Make sure that
the laser beam scans across all bars of the bar code. Refer to Figure
20.
