Reading Techniques; Menu Bar Code Security Settings - Honeywell Xenon 1900 User Manual

Reading Techniques

The Xenon 1900/1902 scanners have a view finder that projects a bright red aiming beam that corresponds to the scanner's
horizontal field of view. The Xenon 1910/1912 and Granit 1910i/1911i scanners have an aiming pattern . The aiming beam or
pattern should be centered over the bar code, but it can be positioned in any direction for a good read.

The aiming beam or pattern is smaller when the scanner is closer to the code and larger when it is farther from the code. Sym-
bologies with smaller bars or elements (mil size) should be read closer to the unit. Symbologies with larger bars or elements
(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 distance from the target, pull the trigger, and center the aiming beam or pattern on the symbol. 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 reflec-
tion.

Menu Bar Code Security Settings

Honeywell scanners are programmed by scanning menu bar codes or by sending 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 the nearest techni-
cal support office (see Technical Assistance

on page 14-1) for further information.
