Aiming Control 
The Aiming Control is only available for trigger mode. In Intelligent Aiming, the aiming light is turned on when 
the scanner is lifted. A trigger pull activates decoding process. After 2 seconds of inactivity, the aiming light 
will be shut off. Delay Aiming Control allows a delay time for the operator to aim the scanner before the image 
is taken. During the delay time, the aiming light will be on, but the LED illumination won’t be turned on until 
the delay time is up.
