  • Page 25 Step 4 – Start Reading Codes The most difficult direct part marks and labels can be decoded easily with the V460-H’s extended read range: from contact to 10” (254 mm). Just keep the trigger pulled until you read the code.
  • Page 26 The V460-H activates its aiming LED dots to illuminate the target barcode. To scan a barcode, center it between the two aiming dots. This ensures that the entire symbol is within the reader’s field of view. The V460-H can read a barcode that is not precisely centered, but the code should be centered for best results.
  • Page 27 The reader continues to decode the symbol successfully another 2 inches closer. In this example, the V460-H decodes a Data Matrix code to the right of the first code at a distance of about 6 inches. Here, the V460-H decodes a vertically-oriented barcode to the left of the first code at a distance of about 4 inches.

    3-1-1 Aiming and Decoding Pick up the V460-H. The aiming dot LEDs turn on automatically by default when a symbol enters the field of view. Ensure that the barcode is centered between the aiming dots. Pull and hold the trigger until the V460-H reads the barcode. The V460-H beeps and vibrates, and the top and front LEDs flash green.
  • Page 44 3 Basic Operation Decoding Guidelines The V460-H makes reading the most difficult direct part marks (DPMs) and labels easy, with extended read range from contact to 10” (254 mm). The V460-H comes with three predefined modes of operation, or “recipes”: Auto Lighting (default), Torch Lighting, and Close-Up Lighting.
  • Page 45 3 Basic Operation 3-1-2 Multi-Axis Lighting The V460-H incorporates a multi-axis illumination system designed to ensure reliable decoding of the toughest direct part marks (DPM) and labels. • Dome Lighting: Red, green, and blue LEDs (allowing any RGB combination). • Low-Angle Lighting: Red LEDs (north, south and north + south).
  • Page 46 This type of illumination is useful on both specular (shiny) and non-specular surfaces, and emphasizes surface texture. The optimum lighting angle for most marks is 30 degrees, which occurs when the V460-H is approximately 0.25 inches away from the target mark.

  • Page 47: Targeting Tips And Tricks

    The V460-H acquires several images with each illumination option, evaluating the optimal settings. If reading the same part or same part type, the V460-H always uses the most recent good read settings as a starting point so that subsequent reads will be faster.
