Using the PowerScan™ PBT9501-RT
The PowerScan™ PBT9501-RT reader normally functions
by capturing and decoding bar codes. The reader is
equipped with an internal Motionix™ motion-sensing
function which activates the aiming system on device
motion. The intelligent aiming system indicates the field
of view which should be positioned over the bar code:
Table 1. Aiming System
The field of view indicated by the aiming system will be
smaller when the reader is closer to the bar 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.
If the entire bar code is within the aiming field, you will get
a good read. Successful reading is signaled by an audible
tone plus a good-read green spot LED indicator.
Reference the PowerScan™ 9501 Product Reference Guide
(PRG) for more information about this feature and other
programmable settings.
Autoscanning
An autoscan command causes the reader to scan
continuously and to monitor the central zone of
its reading area.

Flash technology allows you to upgrade the Pow-
erScan™ PBT9501-RT reader as new symbologies
are supported or as new features become avail-
able.
