Reading Techniques
The view finder
projects an aiming
beam that should
be centered over
the barcode, but
can be positioned
in any direction for
a good read.
Hold the scanner
over the barcode,
pull the trigger, and center the aiming beam on the
barcode.
The aiming beam is smaller when the scanner is
closer to the code and larger when it is farther from
the code. Hold the scanner close to smaller
barcodes, and farther away from large barcodes to
get a proper read.
If the barcode is highly reflective (e.g., laminated),
you may need to tilt the scanner at an angle so the
barcode can be scanned.
Standard Product Defaults
The following barcode resets all standard product
default settings.

Trigger
The following barcodes will allow you to use the
reader in Manual Trigger mode (need to press the
trigger to read) or Presentation mode (the reader is
activated when it “sees” a barcode).
Streaming Presentation™
Note: Streaming Presentation Mode applies only
to units with the Advanced Illumination
feature. Units with the advanced illumination
feature have a software revision of
31205480-118 or newer.
When in Streaming Presentation mode, the imager
leaves the scan illumination on all the time and
continuously searches for barcodes.

Reread Delay
This sets the time period before the scanner can
read the
same barcode a second time. Setting a
reread delay protects against accidental rereads of
the same barcode.
Suffix
If you want a carriage return after the barcode, scan
the Add CR Suffix barcode. To add a tab after the
barcode, scan the Add Tab Suffix barcode.
Otherwise, scan the Remove Suffix barcode to
remove the suffixes.

Add Code ID Prefix to all Symbologies
Scan the following barcode if you wish to add a
Code ID prefix to all symbologies at once.
Note: For a complete list of Code IDs, see the
User’s Guide for your product at our website,
www.honeywell.com/aidc.
Function Code Transmit
When this selection is enabled and function codes
are contained within the scanned data, the imager
transmits the function code to the terminal. Charts
of these function codes are provided in your User’s
Guide. When the imager is in keyboard wedge
mode, the scan code is converted to a key code
before it is transmitted.
