The RS6100 uses digital camera technology to take an image of a barcode, and software decoding algorithms extract the barcode data from the image. The RS6100 includes the SE55 scan engine, which displays a green dash-dot-dash aimer.
To scan a barcode:
Launch a scanning application.
Press the scan trigger and aim the device at the barcode.
For barcodes under transparent plastic or on a mobile computer screen, use a tilt (pitch) or skew scan angle to minimize reflection.
Adjust the position of the device so that the barcode is between two and eleven inches away, and the green LED aiming pattern appears at the center of the barcode.
The LED lights are green, and a beep sounds, by default, to indicate the barcode was decoded successfully.
In some configurations, proper decoding of a barcode is indicated by the software application running on the mobile computer.
