Figure 1-18 Scan Beam
Align the red beam so that the barcode is centered within the beam. The laser beam must cross the
entire barcode. Move the MX5X towards or away from the barcode so that the barcode takes up
approximately two-thirds the width of the beam.

Figure 1-19 Scanner LED Location
The Scanner Active LED turns red when the laser beam is on. Following a barcode scan and read
the Scanner Active LED turns green for two seconds and the MX5X beeps, indicating a successful
scan. If the scan was unsuccessful, the Scanner Active LED turns off and a different beep
sequence is heard.
The laser engine and Scanner Active LED automatically turn off after a successful or unsuccessful
read. The scanner is ready to scan again after the Scan key (or trigger on the handle if installed) is
released, or after the green LED turns off following a successful scan.
