If there are multiple bar codes in one area, you should enable the center-
decoding option to read your bar codes. The center-decoding option
only decodes a bar code if:
• the laser pointer is on the bar code.
• the illumination beam covers the bar code.
Before you can use the center-decoding option you must enable it using
Intermec settings.
To select the center-decoding option

> Decode Security > Center Decoding.
Note: Use the same steps to disable the center-decoding option.

If you have problems scanning a bar code with the area imager, try
following some of these tips to improve the performance of your imager:
• Keep your hand as steady as possible while scanning a label.
• Make sure that Aimer LED Duration is set to zero.
• Position the imager as close to the bar code as possible while still being
able to capture the entire bar code.
• Enable only the bar codes that you need to use every day.
