Aim the scanner exit window at the center of the barcode.
When scanning, the scan window projects a green LED dot, allowing you to align the barcode and scanner's field of view.
Refer to Decode Ranges for the proper distance between the scanner and a barcode.
If necessary, the scanner turns on its illumination LEDs to illuminate the barcode. The scanner decodes barcodes only when the dot is on the barcode.
Scanner Aiming
The aiming dot is smaller when the scanner is closer to the barcode and larger when it is farther away. Scan barcodes with smaller bars or elements (mil size) closer to the scanner and those with larger bars or elements (mil size) farther from the scanner.
The scanner beeps to indicate that it successfully decoded the barcode. For more information on beeper and LED definitions, see the Scanner Indications Table.
