green aiming beam that corresponds to the engine’s

horizontal field of view. The aiming beam should be centered

over the bar code, but it can be positioned in any direction for

a good read.

Linear bar code

2D Symbol

The aiming beam is smaller when the engine 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

bar code 2D Matrix symbol (on a page or on an object), hold the

engine at an appropriate distance from the target, send a trigger

code being scanned is highly reflective (e.g., laminated), it may be

necessary to tilt the code +5° to prevent unwanted reflection.
