Chapter 1 — Learning About the SR61
10 SR61 Cordless Scanner User’s Manual
To scan omni-directionally with the 2D or near-far range area imager
1 Point the scanner window at the bar code label and hold the
SR61 steady a few inches from the label.
2 Pull the trigger.
• If you are scanning with a 2D imager, center the red
aiming beam over the bar code label.
• If you are scanning with a near-far range area imager,
position the red aiming beam just to the right of the center
of the bar code label.
3 The imager may flash repeatedly while it is trying to read a
bar code. The aiming beam is smaller when the imager is
closer to the bar code and larger when it is further away.
When the SR61 successfully reads a bar code label, the SR61
creates a single high beep and the status light briefly turns
green. If Vibrate Alert is enabled, the SR61 briefly vibrates.
4 Release the trigger.
Using Vibrate Alert
You can configure the SR61 to vibrate when it successfully
decodes a bar code. This feature can be useful in these situations:
• You are in a noisy environment, such as a busy warehouse,
where it can be difficult to hear the beep.
• You are working in a quiet environment, such as a library,
where you do not want to make a lot of noise.
