If you are using bar code labels that are encoded in a different
symbology, you need to enable the symbology on your SR61T. Use
EasySet version 5.6.0.1 or later to enable and disable symbologies for
your scanner. EasySet is available at no charge from the Intermec web
site at www.intermec.com/EasySet.
To scan a bar code label with a laser scanner or 1D linear imager
1 Point the SR61T at the bar code label and hold the SR61T 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 either the 1D
linear imager or the near-far range area imager.
When the SR61T successfully reads a bar code label, the SR61T
creates a single high beep, the status light briefly turns green, and
the scanner beam turns off. If Vibrate Alert is enabled, the SR61T
briefly vibrates.
3 Release the trigger.
