The scan engine has a view finder that projects a bright red aiming square.
The aiming beam should be centered over the bar code, but it can also be
positioned outside of the center for a good read.
Linear bar code 2D Matrix symbol
The aiming beam is smaller when the scan 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 farther
from the unit.
To read single or multiple symbols (on a page or on an object), hold the scan
engine at an appropriate distance from the target, pull the trigger, and center
the aiming beam on the symbol.
If the code being scanned is highly reflective (e.g., laminated), it may be
necessary to tilt the code up 15° to 18° to prevent unwanted reflection.
