7.7. Decoding a Bar Code
1. Tap Start > Demos > Scan Demo.
2. Position the Handy Terminal over one of the Sample Bar Codes on paragraph 7.8.
A range of 4-10 inches (10-25 cm) from the bar code is recommended.
3. Project the aiming beam by pressing and holding the Scan key. The Scan LED lights red.
4. Center the aimer beam horizontally over the bar code and highlight all of the vertical bars of 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.
5. When the bar code is successfully decoded, the decode LED lights green and the terminal beeps.
