2 - 6 DS3608 Digital Scanner Product Reference Guide
Aiming with DS3608-SR
When scanning, the DS3608-SR digital scanner projects an orange LED dot which allows positioning the bar code
within its field of view. See Decode Ranges on page 2-8 for the proper distance to achieve between the digital
scanner and a bar code.
Figure 2-4 Aiming Dot
If necessary, the digital scanner turns on its orange illumination LEDs to illuminate the target bar code.
To scan a bar code, center the symbol and ensure the entire symbol is within the rectangular area formed by the
illumination LEDs.

The digital scanner can also read a bar code presented within the aiming dot not centered. The top examples in
Figure show acceptable aiming options, while the bottom examples can not be decoded.I
Figure 2-6 Acceptable and Incorrect Aiming for DS3608-SR
The aiming dot 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 on beeper
and LED definitions, see Table 2-1.
