Zebra DS2278 Reference Guide

2 - 8 DS2278 Digital Scanner Product Reference Guide
Aiming with Digital Scanner
Aiming
When scanning, the digital scanner projects a red scan line which allows positioning the bar code within its field of
view, omnidirectionally. See Decode Ranges on page 2-8 for the proper distance to achieve between the digital
scanner and a bar code.
Figure 2-3 Scanning Orientation with Aiming Line
The aiming line is smaller when the digital scanner 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 scanner, and those with larger
bars or elements (mil size) farther from the digital scanner.
The digital scanner beeps to indicate that it successfully decoded the bar code. For more information see Table 2-1
on page 2-1.
