Using the Image Engine
5.1 Overview
The BLUETOOTH SCANNER contains an SE4710 2D image engine that instantly reads all
popular 1D and 2D bar codes and supports omni-directional aiming and decoding or a SE965HP,
SE655 1D laser engine that reads all popular 1D bar codes. The image engine can also capture
digital images, such as signatures and pictures.
☞ NOTE: It may not read the barcode due to specular reflection if scanning from directly above. Try again
after changing angle.
☞ NOTE: It may not read the barcode, if this Bluetooth scanner is too close to or too far from the barcode
even if the barcode is within the aiming range. Move the Bluetooth scanner toward or away from the barcode
slowly and try again. The aiming range is for reference only.
☞ NOTE: It may not read the barcode if the barcode surface is curved. Scan the barcode at the center of the
aiming range.
☞
NOTE: It may not read the barcode if the barcode surface is dirty. Try again after cleaning the barcode.
☞ NOTE: It may not read the barcode if the image engine window is dirty. Try again after wiping the window
with a cotton swab or similar soft object gently.
☞ NOTE: It may not read the barcode according to the direct sunlight or the brightness of the surrounding.
Try again away from the direct sunlight. Try again after adjusting the brightness of the surrounding if indoors.
☞ NOTE: It may not read the barcode if it is blue on white background. Try again after changing angle or
adjusting the brightness of the surrounding.
☞ NOTE: It may not read the barcode if it is black on silver background. Try again after changing angle or
adjusting the brightness of the surrounding.
☞ NOTE: Bar codes printed on glossy or laminated paper are best read at angles greater than 5°in relation
to the Laser Engine. This prevents bright illumination reflections from being returned to the Laser Engine.
☞ NOTE: Performance may be impacted by bar code quality and environmental conditions
☞ NOTE: Misreading may occur, if the bar code isn’t positioned correctly. Recommended scanner beam
positions are as follows

5.5 To Decode a Barcode
Position the Bluetooth scanner over the barcode.
A range of 4–10 inches (10–25 cm) from the bar code is recommended.
Project the aiming brackets by pressing and holding the Scan button. The Scan LED lights
red.
Center the aimer crosshair over the bar code. The aiming beam should be oriented in line
with the barcode to achieve optimal decoding.
When the bar code is successfully decoded, the scan LED lights blue and the terminal
beeps.

Using the Laser/CCD Engine
6.1 Overview
The BLUETOOTH SCANNER (SE965HP laser version, SE655 CCD version) contains a laser
diode that emits a beam toward an oscillating mirror that scans through the code and the reflected
light is bounced off of two mirrors back to the collector. The laser version reads all popular 1D bar
codes.
☞ NOTE: Performance may be impacted by bar code quality and environmental conditions.
6.2 Available Laser Engines
The BLUETOOTH SCANNER can be equipped with an SE965HP or SE655 laser/CCD engine
(depending on the configuration purchased).

6.5 Decoding a Barcode
Position the Bluetooth scanner over the barcode.
A range of 4-10 inches (10-25 cm) from the bar code is recommended.
Project the aiming beam by pressing and holding the Scan button. The Scan LED lights red.
Center the aimer beam horizontally over the bar code and highlight all of the vertical bars of
the bar code. The aiming pattern is smaller when the terminal is held closer to the code and
larger when the terminal is held farther from the code. Symbologies with smaller bars or
elements (mil size) should be read closer to the unit whereas larger bars or elements (mil size)

PM3 User Manual
16
should be read farther from the unit.
When the bar code is successfully decoded, the scan LED lights blue and the terminal
beeps.
6.6 Scanning Positions
The aiming beam must be aimed across the entire bar code to provide you with the best scanning
performance. The aiming pattern is smaller when the terminal is held closer to the code and larger
when the terminal is held farther from the code. Symbologies with smaller bars or elements (mil
size) should be read closer to the unit whereas larger bars or elements (mil size) should be read
farther from the unit.
