Hand Held Products 2D IMAGER 4800P - Manual (Page 20)

1 - 6 4800p 2D Imager User’s Guide
The 4800p’s viewfinder projects a green aiming beam that should be centered
over the bar code, but can be positioned in any direction for a good read.
Hold the scanner with the aiming beam centered over the bar code. The 4800p
beeps when it successfully reads a bar code. Do not move the 4800p over
another bar code until it beeps. The optimum distance between the 4800p and
the object being scanned is 2 to 5 inches (5.1 - 12.7 cm). The height from the
4800p to the stand’s tray is the proper distance.
The aiming beam is smaller when the imager is closer to the code and larger
when it is farther from the code. Symbologies with smaller bars or elements (mil
size) should be read closer to the unit. Symbologies with larger bars or elements
(mil size) should be read farther from the unit. If the code being scanned is highly
reflective (e.g., laminated), it may be necessary to tilt the code +5° to prevent
unwanted reflection.
4800p Stand
The stand holds the 4800p at a fixed distance for capturing images or reading
bar codes on security/identification cards. The wedge insert supplied with the
stand provides the optimum angle for scanning and capturing images in most
lighting conditions. The card should be placed on the wedge with the bar code
closest to the back of the stand.
