Reading Techniques
The hand-held imager has a view finder that projects a bright red aiming beam that
corresponds to the imager’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.

centered over the bar code, but it can be positioned in any direction for a good read.
Linear Bar Code
2D Matrix Bar code
The aiming beam is smaller when the imager 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 imager. Symbologies with larger bars or elements (mil size) should be
read farther from the imager (see “Depth of Field Charts” in Appendix A). To read
single 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.
