To capture an image:
1. Run the Bcr barcode reader application: Start Menu-
>Programs->Sample Applications->Bcr.
2. Aim and hold the HC700-L at 2 to 12 inches (5 to 30 cm)
distance from the target.
3. Press one of the Scan keys and aim the green aiming bar
towards the target to adjust your position. Note that
when the HC700-L is held closer to the barcode the
green aiming bar appears smaller and when held farther
from the barcode it appears larger. Barcode symbols
with dense symbol elements should be read closer to the
HC700-L while large barcodes with larger symbol ele-
ments should be read at a larger distance (Depth-of-
Field) from the HC700-L.
To capture a barcode, aim the green aiming bar at any angle
across the barcode symbol, as shown in Figure 9
Note: When adjusting your position, you may move back
and forth from the target to capture the entire object - a suc-
cessful scan is indicated by a beeping sound.
