1. Tap Start -> Demos -> Scan Demo.
2. Position the Handy Terminal over one of the Sample Bar Codes on paragraph 6.9.
A range of 4–10 inches (10–25 cm) from the bar code is recommended.
3. Project the aiming brackets by pressing and holding the Scan key. The Scan LED lights red.
4. Center the aimer crosshair over the bar code. The aiming beam should be oriented in line with
the bar code to achieve optimal decoding; Omni-Directional Scanning Positions on paragraph
6.10.
5. When the bar code is successfully decoded, the decode LED lights green and the terminal beeps.
6.9. Sample Bar Codes
You can use the following bar codes to verify decoding:
Code 39 PDF 417
6.10. Omni-Directional Scanning Positions
The high-vis aiming pattern frames the bar code to provide you with the best scanning
performance.
☞ NOTE: To achieve the best read, the aiming beam should be centered horizontally across the bar code.
The aiming pattern is smaller when the terminal is held closer to the code and larger when the
terminal is held farther from the code. Symbologies with smaller bars or elements (mil size) should
be read closer to the unit whereas larger bars or elements (mil size) should be read farther from the
unit.
6.11. Capturing Images
The image-capture process is an intuitive, split-second operation for experienced users. By following
basic guidelines, however, new users can easily develop their own technique and, with practice,
quickly learn to adapt to different application environments.
Image Preview
When the imaging process is initiated, the touch screen displays a preview of the object.
