Scanning Orientation with Laser Aiming Pattern
Figure 3-5
The aiming pattern (or laser line) is smaller when the device is closer to the symbol and larger when it is farther
from the symbol. Scan symbols with smaller bars or elements (mil size) closer to the device, and those with larger
bars or elements (mil size) farther from the device.
The device beeps to indicate that it successfully decoded the bar code. For more information on beeper and LED
definitions, see Table 3-1 and
