Scanner Features
The 2-D scanner emits a raster scanning pattern which is capable of
scanning both:
• One-dimensional bar codes
• Two-dimensional bar codes (PDF417 bar codes)
The scanners use a low power visible (red) laser diode for scanning,
which can read color bar codes and symbols printed on just about
any substrate. The trigger turns on the laser which scans a label at
approximately 560 scans per second.

The laser beam:
• exits through the scan window
• reflects off the label back through the window
• is detected by a sensor in the scanner
When a label is read, the laser beam is automatically turned off until
the trigger is pressed again. If no label is read, the laser beam
automatically turns off after 0.5 to 3 seconds (timeout is adjustable)
and remains off until the trigger is released and pressed again.
