USING DRAGON™ D131/D131 LR READERS 

 
Dragon™ D131 readers automatically scan barcodes 

at a distance.

Simply aim 

and pull the trigger. Code scanning is performed along the scan line emitted from
the reading window. This line must cross the entire code. The best reading angles 
are indicated in the figure below. 
 

 

 

 
 
 

AIMING SYSTEM 

 

 

 
Dragon™ D131 and Dragon™ D131 LR provides an aiming system. If enabled, a
partial trigger press produces a red spot, which should be aimed over the code
center to get the best reading performance (see figure above, 

c

). By completely 

pressing the trigger the scan line appears to start code scanning 

d

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