    Module, HX2 and HX3 use only one ring scanner or ring imager at a time. The HX2 and HX3 are usually worn on the arm or at the waist. The HX2 and HX3 will beep twice when a configuration bar code is successfully scanned.
  • Page 14: Cautions And Warnings

    Cautions and Warnings It is good practice to avoid looking into the beam emitted by any scan beam aperture. Do not connect the beam aperture to any other device, for example, a beam magnifier. Class 2 laser scanners use a low power, visible light diode. As with any very bright light source, such as the sun, the user should avoid staring directly into the light beam.
  • Page 15: How To Scan A Bar Code

    The linear bar codes in this guide were created using Code 128 symbology. Your Ring Decoder has been set up by Honeywell to automatically read / decode Code 128 bar codes.
  • Page 16: Scan A 2D Bar Code

    Scan a 2D Bar Code To scan a bar code with the imager, point the beam aperture at a bar code and press the Scan button. You will see a bracketed cross-hair strike the bar code. Holding the beam aperture approximately 3 – 12 inches away from the bar code, aim the imager aperture toward the selected bar code.
  • Page 17: Factors That May Impact Decode Performance

    Code 39. The use of Code 128 or other more complex symbologies will almost always result in a reduction in maximum read distance. Honeywell will not support bar code reader maximum distances (from Decode Zones) when symbologies other than Code 39 are used.
  • Page 18: Bar Code Help

    acquired. Some bar code reader engines contain protection circuitry that shuts the bar code reader down in temperatures that exceed the recommended operating temperature. Bar Code Help Whether there are beeps in conjunction with scan and decode functions is dependent on the application currently running in the Ring Decoder.
  • Page 19: Miscellaneous Programmable Bar Codes

    Ring decoding devices do not have the ability to emit a good read or bad read sound. Beep After Good Decode Audible scan progress indicators are generated by the bar code reader driver on Honeywell mobile devices, not the bar code reader engine. Use Windows Control Panel options to set up the mobile device audible indicators.
  • Page 20: Cleaning The Beam Aperture

    Cleaning the Beam Aperture Note: New devices -- Remove the shipping film from the beam aperture before first use. Keep fingers and rough, sharp or abrasive objects away from the beam aperture. If the aperture becomes soiled or smudged, clean only with a standard household cleaner such as Windex® without vinegar or use Isopropyl Alcohol.
