Aiming with DS3608-HP and DS3608-HD
When scanning, the DS3608-HP and DS3608-HD projects a red laser aiming pattern 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 2-7 DS3608-HP/DS3608-HD Imager Aiming Pattern
If necessary, the digital scanner turns on its red LEDs to illuminate the target bar code.
To scan a bar code, center the symbol in any orientation within the aiming pattern. Be sure the entire symbol is
within the rectangular area formed by the cross pattern.
The digital scanner can also read a bar code presented within the aiming pattern but not centered. The top
examples in Figure 2-5 show acceptable aiming options, while the bottom examples can not be decoded.
