Reading Techniques

The scanner has a view finder that projects a bright red aiming beam that corre-
sponds to the scanner's horizontal field of view. The aiming beam should be
centered horizontally over the bar code and must highlight all the vertical bars of
the bar code. It will not read if the aiming beam is in any other direction.
Good Read
The aiming beam is smaller when the scanner is closer to the code and larger
when it is farther from the code. Symbologies with smaller bars or elements (mil
size) should be read closer to the unit. Symbologies with larger bars or ele-
ments (mil size) should be read farther from the unit. To read single or multiple
symbols (on a page or on an object), hold the scanner at an appropriate dis-
tance from the target, press the button, and center the aiming beam on the sym-
bol. If the code being scanned is highly reflective (e.g., laminated), it may be
necessary to tilt the code up 15° to 18° to prevent unwanted reflection.

Menu Bar Code Security Settings

Honeywell scanners are programmed by scanning menu bar codes or by send-
ing serial commands to the scanner. If you want to restrict the ability to scan
menu codes, you can use the Menu Bar Code Security settings. Please contact
