Data Capture
56
Adaptive Scanning
The RS4000 contains the adaptive scanning feature that automatically adjusts the scan beam width for 
rapid and easy scanning of bar codes from near contact to more than 200 inches away.
By default the RS4000 is set to wide scan beam width. When the user presses the trigger, the RS4000 
determines the distance from the bar code. For close bar codes the RS4000 sets a wide beam width and 
for far bar codes it sets a narrow beam width. The RS4000 uses distance, bar code type and material to 
determine the correct scan beam width.
Bar Code Capture with RS5000 Corded Imager
To read a bar code, a scan-enabled application is required. The device contains the DataWedge 
application that allows the user to enable the scanner to decode bar code data and display the bar code 
content. See DataWedge on page 65 for more information on launching DataWedge.
1. Connect the RS5000 to the device. See RS5000 Imager on page 127 for more information.
2. Press the scan trigger and aim the RS5000 at a bar code.
3. Ensure the bar code is within the area formed by the aiming pattern. The aiming dot is used for 
increased visibility in bright lighting conditions.
