Long-term exposure to the laser framing beam can damage your vision. The SG20T contains either a 1D imager (SG20T1D), a 2D imager (SG20T2D or SG20T2DHC) or high performance 2D imager (SG20THP or SG20THC) to scan bar code data. The type of scan engine you are using and the type of bar code you are decoding determines the way you scan the bar code.

Chapter 2 — Scanning with the SG20T If you are using bar code labels that are encoded in a different symbology, you need to enable the symbology on your SG20T. Use EasySet version 5.6.5.1 or later to enable and disable symbologies for your scanner.
