Aiming System
The LYNX™ reader uses an intelligent aiming system similar to those on cameras.
The aiming system creates a field of view where the code is to be positioned:
Figure 4 - Aiming System
When you pull the trigger completely a red beam illuminates the code. If the aiming
system is centered and the entire symbology is within the aiming system, you will get
a good read. The field of view changes size as you move the reader closer or farther
away from the code.
