  • Page 9 1–2 Scanner Features The scanners use a low power visible (red) laser diode for scanning. The trigger turns on the laser which scans a label at approximately 36 scans per second. LEDs Trigger Cable Connector The laser beam: -exits through the scan window -reflects off the label back through the window -is detected by a sensor in the scanner When a label is read, the laser beam is automatically turned off until the...
  • Page 10: Led Indicators

    1–3 LED Indicators On the back of the scanner there is a clear window through which two LEDs are visible. Green Green LED = Good Read, indicating that a bar code symbol has been scanned and decoded. LED remains on until the next scan (trigger pressed).
  • Page 11: Safety Labels

    1–4 Safety Labels The scanners use a low power visible laser diode. As with any bright light source, you should avoid staring directly into the beam. Momentary exposure to a CDRH Class II laser is not known to be harmful. The following figure shows the location of all safety labels as they appear on the scanner.
  • Page 12: Scanning Ranges
