Reading Techniques
The imager has a bright red aiming beam that corresponds to its horizontal field
of view. The aiming beam should be centered horizontally over the bar code; it
will not read if the aiming beam is in any other direction.
The best focus point for reading most code densities is about 5 inches (12.7 cm)
from the unit. To read a single bar code or multiple bar codes (on a page or on
an object), hold the imager at an appropriate distance from the target, pull the
trigger, and center the aiming beam on the bar code.
Resetting the Standard Product Defaults
If you aren’t sure what programming options are in your imager, or you’ve
changed some options and want the factory settings restored, scan the
Standard Product Default Settings bar code below.
The Menu Commands starting on page 11-5 lists the factory default settings for
each of the commands (indicated by an asterisk (*) on the programming pages).
