3. If the decode is successful, the screen displays the code and the green LED flashes.
The wrist computer may also beep.
The optimal scanning distance varies with bar code density and scanner optics, but
most combinations work within 4 to 10 inches.
Scanning with the WS 1200 Scanner
The long range version of the WS 1200 scanner uses an optional aiming dot to assist you in
directing the scan beam. If Single Trigger Aim Mode is enabled by the software:
1. Power the WSS 1000 system and scanner on by pressing the trigger or the wrist
computer’s power button.
2. Press and hold the trigger while aiming the dot at the bar code.
3. Release the trigger. The dot expands to a beam that covers the length of the bar code.

4. If the decode is successful, the scan LED flashes green and the WWC 1000 screen
displays the code. The WWC 1000 may also beep, depending on the application
software installed.
When using the standard version of the WS 1200, or if Single Trigger Aim Mode is disabled,
only the scan beam appears upon trigger pull. When a bar code is decoded, the scan LED
flashes green and the WWC 1000 screen displays the code. The WWC 1000 may also beep,
depending on the application software installed.
