Practice Targeting - Microscan HS-2D User Manual

Practice Targeting

When first connecting, allow approximately 3 seconds for the reader to initialize.
1. Hold the reader steady and point at a symbol about 2.3
inches (5.8 cm) away.
2. Squeeze and hold the trigger. Red and green targeting
spots will appear in front of the reader.
3. Center the red and green spots on the symbol and wait a
second or two for a decode.
For configuration symbols, you will hear 2 beeps when a
good read occurs. For data symbols, you will hear 1 beep
when a good read occurs.
4. If no decode occurs, slowly draw away from the symbol
while holding the laser spot steadily in place.
Test Symbol
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOP
Targeting Suggestions
• Typically, you should not hold the reader exactly perpendicular to the symbol. Position
the reader about 15 to 30 degrees to avoid specular reflection.
• Do not wave the reader side-to-side or up-and-down, or attempt to sweep across a
symbol; sudden movements will create fuzzy images and result in failed read attempts.
• The reader is omnidirectional and can read a symbol from any position (The exception
to this is with certain linear symbols; in these cases, the read area will be oriented to the
length of the symbol.)
