Chapter 2 — Scanning with the SG20T
12 SG20T Tethered Scanner User’s Guide
Understanding the Beeps
The SG20T also beeps to give you audio feedback when performing
some functions. For example, you hear a beep each time you scan a
valid bar code.
Scanning Bar Codes
The SG20T contains either a 1D linear imager (SG20T1D) or 2D area
imager (SG20THP or SG20THC) to scan bar code data. The type of
scan engine you are using and the type of bar code you are decoding
determines the way you scan the bar code.
When you unpack the SG20T, these bar code symbologies are enabled:
• Code 39
• Code 128 / GS1-128
• EAN/UPC
• PDF417 (SG20THP and SG20THPHC only)
• DataMatrix (SG20THP and SG20THPHC only)
Default SG20T Beep Descriptions

For the SG20THP and SG20THPHC do not look directly into the
window area or at a reflection of the laser framing beam while
scanning. Long-term exposure to the laser framing beam can
damage your vision.
