Using the scanner
Aiming system
The barcode scanner captures and decodes barcodes. It is equipped with an internal motion-sensing function,
which activates an intelligent aiming system upon sensing device motion. The aiming system indicates the
eld of view, which you should position over the barcode.
A red beam illuminates the label. The eld of view indicated by the aiming system is smaller the closer the
scanner is to the barcode. Place codes with smaller bars or elements closer to the reader and larger bars or
elements farther from the reader.
A successful read occurs if the aiming system is centered and the entire barcode is within the aiming eld.
Successful reading is signaled by an audible tone plus a good read green spot LED indicator.
The following images show dierent aiming system patterns.
