Using the DSM0400
The DSM0400 normally functions by capturing and decoding codes. The aiming
system is activated on trigger pull and indicates the center of the field of view
which should be positioned over the bar code:
Aiming System
Relative Size and Location of Aiming System Pattern
2D Matrix Symbol
Linear Bar
A red beam illuminates the label. The field of view indicated by the aiming sys-
tem will be smaller when the reader is closer to the bar 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. If the aiming system is centered and the
entire bar code is within the aiming field, you will get a good read. Successful
reading is signaled by an audible tone plus a good-read green spot LED indica-
tor.
