2 Using the scanner
Reading barcodes
Point the scanner at the target and pull the trigger to enable the illuminator (red beam) to decode the barcode
label. The illuminator will remain on until the trigger is released, or a label is read, or the "maximum scan on
time" is reached. When scanning a barcode label, you can adjust the distance or angle to the label to help
facilitate reading. Make sure that the scan line crosses every bar and space of the barcode.
Do not hold the scanner directly over the barcode. Light reecting directly back into the scanner from the
barcode is known as specular reection. This specular reection can make decoding diicult. You can tilt the
scanner up to 65° forward or back and achieve a successful decode.
