14 RS507 Hands-Free Imager
Aiming the Imager
The aimer of the Imager is a cross hair laser with bright center dot (shown below).
The virtual rectangle made by the Cross Hair Lines reflects the field of view of the
Imager. The aimer is used to position the barcode or object within the field of view.
1. Enter the symbol in any orientation within the virtual rectangle made by the
cross hair lines.
The imager can also read a barcode presented within the aiming pattern but
not centered, such as the figure below on the left. The figure on the right,
however, may not be decoded.
The aiming pattern is smaller when the Imager is closer to the symbol and
larger when it is farther from the symbol. Scan symbols with smaller bars or
elements (mil size) closer to the unit and those with larger bars or elements
(mil size) farther from the unit.
2. Hold the Imager between two and eleven inches (depending on symbol
density) from the symbol, centering the aiming pattern cross hairs on the
symbol.
3. Press the Scan Button. The aimer pattern illuminates red indicating that the
Laser is on. One green flash of the Scan LED and a high beep indicates that a
barcode was properly decoded.
