Reading Characteristics
The engine has a view finder that projects a bright red or
green aiming beam that corresponds to the engine's
horizontal field of view. The aiming beam should be centered
over the barcode, but it can be positioned in any direction for
a good read.
The aiming beam is smaller when the engine is closer to the
code and larger when it is farther from the code. Symbologies with
smaller bars or elements (mil size) should be read closer to the
unit. Symbologies with larger bars or elements (mil size) should be
read farther from the unit. To read symbols, hold the engine at an
appropriate distance from the target, send a trigger command, and
center the aiming beam on the symbol. If the code being scanned is
highly reflective (e.g., laminated), it may be necessary to tilt the
code +5° to prevent unwanted reflection.
