Intermec SR61 - Scanning Bar Codes

Chapter 1 — Learning About the SR61
8 SR61 Cordless Scanner User’s Guide
Scanning Bar Codes: The aiming beam and scanner beam that you see
depends on whether you have a laser scanner (SR61L), 1D linear imager
(SR61xV), or 2D area imager (SR61xA).
To scan a bar code label with a laser scanner or 1D linear imager
1 Point the SR61 at the bar code label and hold the SR61 at a
slight angle 15 to 25 cm (6 to 10 in) from the label.
2 Pull the trigger, and direct the red beam so that it falls across
all bars in the bar code label.
Use this test bar code:
Code 39 Test Bar Code
*123456*
*123456*
Tip: Depending on your screen resolution, you may be able
to scan bar codes displayed on your computer screen with the
SR61xA or SR61xV.
When the SR61 successfully reads a bar code label, you hear a
single high beep and the status light briefly turns green. If
Vibrate Alert is enabled, the SR61 briefly vibrates.
3 Release the trigger.
