The next two sections describe how to scan a bar code label with the
linear imager, area imager, and near-far range area imager.

at a slight angle 15 to 25 cm (6 to 10 in) from the label.
3 Press the Scan button on the keypad, or pull the trigger on a
handle, and direct the red beam so that it falls across all bars in the
bar code label.
