Bar code and stacked 2D code Reading Guide
When you press the Trigger key (R or L), LEDs in the Handheld Printer Terminal emit laser and red lights.
Align the laser frame with the center of the bar code or 2D code you are trying to read. Take particular
care aligning the light when there are other bar codes nearby.
When reading a large code, adjust the position of the Handheld Printer Terminal so that the entire code is
enclosed within the laser frame.
