Targeting; Reading Techniques - Code CR1200 User Manual

3.2 - Targeting

As shown in Figure 3.4, the red targeting LED identifi es the center of the reading operation and aids in centering a code
in the reader's fi eld of view. The green LED provides focusing assistance to aid in positioning the CR1200 at the optimum
distance for a read. Center the CR1200's red LED display on the code and then move the unit closer to or farther away
from the bar code until the green LED image merges with the red LED image.
Correct positioning of the CR1200 is essential to reduce reading time. For optimal reading conditions, the red and green
LED images must converge at the center of the code.
Read the appropriate code below to turn the targeting features on/off for Red and Green LEDs:

3.3 - Reading Techniques

The CR1200 uses digital imaging technology to take a picture of a symbol. Once an image is captured, the CR1200 uses
advanced decoding algorithms to extract data from the captured image.
To read a symbol with the CR1200:
1. Target the CR1200 on the center of the code. (See section 3.2).
2. Hold the CR1200 still. Do not swipe or move the reader.
3. Press the trigger until the CR1200 beeps and vibrates, indicating the code has been successfully read.
