Scanning Options

The scanner has 3 scanning options: aiming dot, slab raster and

A trigger pull creates the single aiming dot pattern, which lasts for a

fixed interval. This dot is easily visible in outdoor or high ambient

light environments. After the aiming dot, a slab raster or open raster

pattern appears, depending on the configured scanning option. You

can select the aiming dot option with either a normal or extended

timeout period.

A trigger pull creates the slab raster pattern. If the target is a 1-D bar

code, the pattern never opens beyond a slab raster. If the target is a

2-D (PDF417) bar code, the pattern opens to an optimized raster

pattern when the scanner is properly aligned over the bar code.

Always Raster

A trigger pull opens to a full raster pattern.
