Data Capture • Advanced intuitive laser aiming cross-hair and dot aiming for easy point-and-shoot operation. Scanning Considerations Typically, scanning is a simple matter of aim, scan, and decode, with a few quick trial efforts to master it. However, consider the following to optimize scanning performance: • Range: Scanners decode best over a particular working range — minimum and maximum distances from the barcode. This range varies according to barcode density and scanning device optics.
Data Capture Figure 31 SE4710 Expansion Back Aiming Pattern Red Aiming Dot Red Illumination Frame Release the Scan button. The bar code data displays on the screen. Scanning with SE4750 Expansion Back To read a barcode, a scan-enabled app is required. To scan with the SE4750 Expansion Back: 1. Ensure that an app is open on the device and a text field is in focus (text cursor in text field). 2. Point the Expansion Back exit window at a bar code.
