Aiming System

A 655 nm laser and an aiming element generate a laser aiming pattern which represents the imager's field of view
throughout its entire depth of field. The pattern's center dot indicates the center of the field of view.

The bright center spot provides visibility for aiming in sunlight and other bright light applications. The aiming pattern
indicates the field of view for capturing images. The ends of the horizontal and vertical lines represent the
midpoints of the sides of an imaginary box outlining the capture field.

Aiming Error

The aiming pattern is rotated by 2
the aiming axis and the imaging axis at 203.2 mm (8.0 in.) from the engine as shown in
Aiming Element on page 3-6

Aiming Control

The SE4750 can capture images with both the aiming subsystem turned on during exposure (the image of the
aiming pattern is visible in the digital image) or off. If the aiming system is turned off during exposure, brightness of
the aiming pattern decreases as exposure increases.
The aiming subsystem can also be turned off completely. Motorola recommends shutting aiming off three frames
prior to capturing documents to prevent the aiming pattern from appearing faintly in captured images. Note that this
is not necessary for bar code decoding.

Illumination System

The illumination system consists of two high-output white LEDs and a sophisticated drive system that allows image
capture and decoding throughout a full range of lighting conditions (total darkness to full sunlight).

Illumination Control

The SE4750 can capture images with the illumination subsystem turned on or off. LED illumination can be turned
off when taking images of documents printed on semi-glossy or glossy paper or on a substrate with security marks.
In this case, ensure ambient illumination provides minimum 5 fcd on the document surface. See also

Frame Rate Control

The SE4750 outputs images at 54 frames per second by default. When capturing images, use lower frame rates to
increase image brightness. The aiming pattern appears to blink when the frame rate is 30 fps or lower.
