Reading Technique

Center the Aimer

The 8680i has a view finder that projects a bright aiming pattern. This aiming pat-
tern should be centered over the bar code, but it can be positioned in any direction
for a good read.
The aiming pattern is smaller when the 8680i is closer to the code and larger when
it is farther from the code. Symbologies with smaller bars or elements (mil size)
should be read closer to the unit. Symbologies with larger bars or elements (mil
size) should be read farther from the unit. To read single or multiple symbols (on a
page or on an object), hold the 8680i at an appropriate distance from the target,
press the trigger, and center the aiming pattern on the symbol. If the code being
scanned is highly reflective (e.g., laminated), it may be necessary to tilt the code up
15° to 18° to prevent unwanted reflection.
