Reading Techniques
The scanner has a view finder that projects a bright green aiming beam that
corresponds to the scanner’s horizontal field of view. The aiming beam should
be centered over the bar code, but it can be positioned in any direction for a
good read.
The aiming beam is smaller when the scanner 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 ele-
ments (mil size) should be read farther from the unit. To read single or multiple
symbols (on a page or on an object), hold the scanner at an appropriate dis-
tance from the target, press the button, and center the aiming beam on the sym-
bol. 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.
Menu Bar Code Security Settings
Honeywell scanners are programmed by scanning menu bar codes or by send-
ing serial commands to the scanner. If you want to restrict the ability to scan
menu codes, you can use the Menu Bar Code Security settings. Please contact
the nearest technical support office (see
Technical Assistance on page 14-1)
for further information.
