Quick Reference Guide Introduction The RS409 ring scanner is a modular, wearable laser scanner that allows the operator hands-free bar code scanning capability. The scanner is used with the WT4070/90 wearable terminal. The RS409 is worn on the operator’s index finger, and utilizes a thumb-operated trigger.
RS409 Ring Scanner Changing Trigger Position The trigger assembly of the RS409 rotates to provide left-hand or right-hand use. Determine whether the RS409 is used on the right or left hand. CAUTION The trigger assembly only rotates 180° around the back of the scan assembly.
If connecting to a wrist mounted wearable terminal, connect to the interface connector closest to the wrist. Scanner Cable Connector Interface Connector Slide the RS409 onto the index finger with the scan trigger next to the thumb. Tighten the finger strap.
Turn on the wearable terminal. Launch a scanning application. Press the scan trigger and aim the RS409 at a bar code. The scan LED lights red to indicate the RS409 is on. Adjust the aim so that the thin, red laser beam covers the entire length of the bar code.
Scanning Tips • For larger bar codes, hold the RS409 farther away from the bar code. • For bar codes with bars that are closer together, hold the RS409 closer to the bar code. • The optimal scanning distance varies with bar code density, but 10 to 25 cm (4 to 10 inches) generally works.
RS409 Ring Scanner Replacing the Trigger Assembly To replace the trigger assembly: Remove the finger strap assembly. Turn the RS409 upside-down. Remove the set screw with screwdriver. Turn the trigger assembly counter-clockwise until the exit window and scan trigger align.
