Long Range Scanning Bar Codes
The P370 ALR (Long Range) scanner has an aiming feature which allows the positioning
of the laser beam when scanning bar codes. Aiming mode and Aiming duration can be set
using the bar codes below. You cannot program this feature into the standard range P370
scanner.
Aim Mode
There are two Aiming options supported by the Phaser ALR cordless scanner, trigger pull
to scan (default) and trigger release to scan.
Option 1: Trigger Pull to Scan (Default)
When you pull the trigger, the aim dot will be active for a user-selectable duration of time.
After this time, the aiming dot automatically turns into a standard laser scanning beam for
a full decode session. After the aiming dot turns into a scanning beam, the laser will stay
on until the user-selectable laser-on timeout occurs, a decode occurs, or the trigger is
released. If the trigger is released during the aim mode, the laser shut off and no decode
session occurs.
