WLS8600

Using the WLS8600

WLS8600 readers automatically scan barcodes at a distance. Simply aim and pull

the trigger. Code scanning is performed along the scan line emitted from the read-

ing window. This line must cross the entire code. The best reading angles are indi-

cated in the figure below.:

Aiming System

The WLS8600 provides an aiming system. If enabled, a partial trigger press pro-

duces a red spot, which should be aimed over the code center to get the best reading

performance, see figure (1) above. By completely pressing the trigger the scan line

appears to start code scanning (2).

After setting up the reader, you can enable or disable the aiming system by reading

the codes below:
