3.0 Introduction
3.1 Warnings
Do not point the Laser in the direction of the eyes so that the light beam emitted by the unit
strikes the eyes directlythis could result in eye damage.
Keep the unit and gun away from a water source such as a faucetthis could short the unit and
cause injury.
Users of the verifier (unit and gun) are not authorized to open case(s) or in any way modify cir-
cuitry.
The following caution labels should already be on the Laser (and must remain on the Laser):

EMITTED WAVELENGTH 630-680nm
MAX. OUTPUT RADIATION 1.0mW
CLASS 2 LASER PRODUCT
EN 60825-1:2007
This product complies with 21 CFR Subchapter J
CLASS 2 LASER LIGHT WHEN OPEN
AVOID EXPOSURE - LASER LIGHT IS
EMITTED FROM THIS APERTURE
DO NOT STARE INTO BEAM
!
This equipment complies with the requirements in part 15

3.2 RJS Inspector D4000 Description and Features
The RJS Inspector D4000 is an advanced technology bar code verifier that makes it easy to de-
code bar code symbols and to evaluate symbol compliance with industry standards.
Features
Automatic power-on by pressing trigger
Scan bar codes on curved surfaces
GS1-128 data content validation
Auto-discriminates between many different
symbologies
Auto-print mode
Low battery indicator
Barcode symbol data and deviation displays
Multiple scan averaging
Power-down is automatic after short period of
disuse
Programmable, multi-scan analysis
Store and print capabilities
Visual and audible signals
Note: The D4000 Laser is NOT a full ISO/ANSI bar
code verifier. It will ONLY inspect the
Decodability parameter (which will be accurate
when the Laser is held at the proper angle and
distance). If you need to comply with the
ISO15416 bar code quality standards then the
D4000 Auto Optic will be required.

6.0 Scanning Symbols
6.1 Scanning Techniques
Lay the symbol to be scanned on a flat, non-reflective surface
While the laser beam is not over a bar code pull the trigger on the Laser
Adjust the angle and distance of the Laser to the bar code sample so that the distance results in
a laser beam that is twice as wide as the bar code (at least 2 inches wide) and the angle is at 30
degrees (angle of the exit window on the Laser)
Once at the proper angle and distance, drag the laser beam over the bar code (maintaining the
angle and distance)
(See Appendix A - Scanning Technique)
6.2 Scanning Results
After a bar code is scanned, the RJS Inspector D4000 will respond with a crisp, chirp (or beep)
sound.
