3.7.4 Operating One Dimensional (1D) Laser Scanners
• Turn the 8525/8530 on. Wait until the unit has booted up completely.
Important: If an aiming dot is available on the scanner, the dot will be
enabled for a configurable time period (including off), after
which normal scanning begins. Refer to “Dot Time (msec)” on
page 130 for details.
Double-clicking the trigger will override the aiming delay and
initiate an immediate scan. Note that the aiming dot is standard
on long-range and high visibility internal scanners.
• Aim at the bar code and press the trigger. A scan beam and a warning indi-
cator appear until a successful decode is achieved or six seconds have
elapsed.
3.8 Connecting & Disconnecting Tethered Peripherals
Tethered peripherals such as imagers, RFID readers, scanners and/or printers
connect to the vehicle-mount computer with a quick release, circular connector. For
most peripherals, when they are connected to the vehicle-mount, the 8525/8530
detects them and loads the necessary drivers. Keep in mind however that some
peripherals may require their own specific drivers to be loaded manually. An icon in
the taskbar at the bottom of the screen provides a visual representation of the
peripheral and indicates that it is ready for operation.
