A Barcode Reader
Operator’s Manual A - 13
A.2.4 Scanning in Hand-Held Mode
Perform the following procedure:
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 LED dot which allows positioning the barcode 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. Be sure the entire symbol is within the rectangular area formed by the
illumination LEDs.
5. Hold the trigger until the digital imager reader beeps, indicating the barcode is successfully
decoded.
Steps 2 - 4 above may be required to repeat on poor quality or difficult barcodes.
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)
