Scanning 2 - 5

Aiming

On a typical UPC 100% hold the scanner between contact and 19 inches from the symbol (see Decode Zone on

page 2-9). When scanning using a single-line scan mode, ensure the scan line crosses every bar and space of the

symbol.

Acceptable and Incorrect Single-Line Aiming

When scanning using a multi-line scan mode, at least one scan line must cross every bar and space of the symbol.

Acceptable and Incorrect Multi-Line Aiming

Regardless of the scan mode, the scan line is smaller when the scanner is closer to the symbol and larger when it

is farther from the symbol. Scan symbols with smaller bars or elements (mil size) closer to the scanner, and those

with larger bars or elements (mil size) farther from the scanner.

Do not hold the scanner directly over the bar code. Laser light reflecting directly back into the scanner from the bar

code is known as specular reflection. This specular reflection can make decoding difficult.

For more information about scan line widths and scanning modes, see Scan Line Width on page 4-7 and Scan

Pattern on page 4-6, respectively.

NOTE Scan line lengths vary depending on the scan line width selected. A full scan line width is the default.

Medium and short scan line widths are useful for scanning menus or pick-lists.
