The digital scanner can also read a bar code presented within the aiming dot not centered. The top examples
in Figure 2-12 show acceptable aiming options, while the bottom examples can not be decoded.

Incorrect Aiming
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 and Table 2-2.
