Test Mode (Function 1) 

 
Once entered, the Bar Graph on the five LEDs is activated and if the imager starts reading 
codes the Bar-Graph shows the Good Read Rate. In case of a NO READ condition, only the 
Status

 

LED is on and blinks. 

 
The Bar Graph has the following meaning:

To exit the Test Mode, press the X-PRESS™ push button once. 
 

 

NOTE 

By default, the Test exits automatically after three minutes. 

 
 

Focus/Locate (Function 2) 

 
This function causes the Blue Diamonds™ to turn on. The Blue Diamonds™ can be used to 
focus the lens at the desired reading distance and since they are centered on the FOV they 
can also be used to position the imager on the code. The Focus LED blinks to indicate this 
state. 
 
To exit the Focus/Locate Mode, press the X-PRESS™ push button once. The Blue 
Diamonds™ turn off.
