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

Function Code Transmit

are contained within the scanned data, the scanner
transmits the function code to the terminal. Charts

Guide. When the scanner is in keyboard wedge
mode, the scan code is converted to a key code
before it is transmitted.
