Reading 2D Codes And Bar Codes; Bht-100Q - Denso BHT-100B User Manual

1.1 Reading 2D Codes and Bar Codes

BHT-100Q

Turn the BHT power on, bring the reading window to the target code, and press the
trigger switch. The BHT-100Q turns three marker LEDs on to indicate the scanning
range and the illumination LED to scan the code. Keep the BHT stationary in a position
where the target code lies between the right and left markers and the center marker
comes to the center of the target code.
Hold the reading window 4 to 14 cm (1.6 to 5.5 inches) away from codes to be scanned.
When the BHT has read the code successfully, the indicator LED will illuminate in
green and the markers will go off.

• The markers show the left-to-right scanning range. When the scanning distance
is 8.5 to 9.5 cm (3.3 to 3.7 inches), they indicate almost the center of the up-down
scanner's view. If the distance is out of the range, those markers will deviate
from the center.
• If the BHT fails to read due to specular effects or other
factors, change the scanning angle of the reading win-
dow or the distance from codes as shown at right, and
try it again. (Specular effects occur when the reflec-
tion of the light from the code becomes excessively
strong. This can easily happen when the reflecting
surface is polished or covered with vinyl.)
• The code reading procedure may differ depending upon
the application used, so follow the application's
manual.
