About Scan Engine
The scan engine emits scanning beams for accurate barcode aiming. The scan
engine has a viewfinder that projects a bright red aiming beam that corresponds to
the scan engine’s horizontal field of view.
The aiming beam is smaller when the code is closer to the scan engine and larger
when it is farther from the scan engine. Symbologies with smaller bars or elements
should be read closer to the scanner window. Symbologies with larger bars or
elements should be read farther from the scanner window. If the code being
scanned is highly reflective (for example, laminated), it may be necessary to tilt the
code up 15
o
to 18
o
to prevent unwanted reflection.
In the demo application, any operation that requires scanning input will
automatically turn on the scan LED in the kiosk. You can adjust the swing arms of
the kiosk to securely scan any item.

You can access the PC43K-Demo application to scan a test code.
