5. The device beeps and the green LED indicator comes on until the trig-
ger is released. The green LED and the beep tone indicate a good read.
6. The bar code data is entered in the current application.
7. Once a bar code is read successfully, the scanner turns off automatically.

Correct Scanning Positions
Incorrect Scanning Positions
Ideal positioning
A bit high, will read correctly
A bit angled, will read correctly
Positioned too far to the right. Will
not read entire bar code.
Too angled; cannot read the
entire bar code.
Bar code will not read. The
scanner should be posi-
tioned perpendicular to
the bar code bars.
If the bar code scan failed, adjust the reading angle or distance. Make sure that
the laser beam scans across all bars of the bar code. Refer to
Figure 27
