Step 3 — Position Symbol and Scanner
Note: Code 39 is the default code type enabled. If you are uncertain as to your sym-
bology type, enable all codes by selecting the Auto Discriminate macro in Terminal
mode.
1. Set up a symbol at the scanning distance you are using in your application.
(See "Read Ranges" on page
2. Avoid bright light or IR light from other sources, including other scanners.
3. Pitch symbol or scanner slightly to avoid specular reflection, the return of direct,
non-diffused light.
Note: If using an I 2/5 symbol, verify that the number of characters in the symbol being
scanned matches the symbol length enabled for the I 2/5 symbol type. (Default is 10 and 6.)
