Chapter 1 — Learning About the SR61T
8 SR61T Tethered Scanner User’s Guide
Scanning Bar Codes: The aiming and scanner beams that you see depend
on whether you have a laser scanner (SR61TL), 1D linear imager (SR61TV),
2D area imager (SR61TA), or near-far range area imager (SR61TE).
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
SR61T 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.
4 When the SR61T successfully reads a bar code label, the SR61T
creates a single high beep and the status light briefly turns green.
If Vibrate Alert is enabled, the SR61T briefly vibrates.
5 Release the trigger.
