3 Press and hold the Scan button.
The red laser aiming pattern turns on to assist in aiming. Ensure the bar code is within the area formed by the
cross-hairs in the aiming pattern. The aiming dot is used for increased visibility in bright lighting conditions.
The Left and Right LEDs light light green and a beep sounds to indicate the bar code was decoded successfully.
Note that when the MC40 is in Pick List Mode, the MC40 does not decode the bar code until the center of the
crosshair touches the bar code.
