C-12 Barcode Reader
C.2.4 Scanning in Hand-Held Mode
1. Ensure all connections are secure (see the appropriate host chapter.)
2. Aim the digital imager reader at the barcode.
3. When the digital imager reader senses movement, in its default Auto Aim trigger
mode, it projects a red laser aiming pattern which allows positioning the barcode or
object within the field of view.
If necessary, the digital imager reader turns on its red LEDs to illuminate the target
barcode.
4. Center the symbol in any orientation within the aiming pattern. Be sure the entire
symbol is within the rectangular area formed by the brackets in the pattern.
5. Hold the trigger until the digital imager reader beeps, indicating the barcode is
successfully decoded.
Note: Steps 2 - 4 may be required to repeat on poor quality or difficult barcodes.
Tips: Hold the digital imager reader between two and nine inches (depending on
symbol density) from the symbol, centering the aiming pattern cross hairs on the
symbol.
The aiming pattern is smaller when the digital imager reader is closer to the symbol
and larger when it is farther from the symbol. Scan symbols with smaller bars or
elements (mil size) closer to the digital imager reader, and those with larger bars or
elements (mil size) farther from the digital imager reader.
