4.3.1 Laser Data Capture
To scan barcodes, point the Falcon X3+ laser model onto the code from a distance
within the reading range while pressing the SCAN key or the pistol trigger.
The lighted band emitted by the laser must completely cross the barcode as shown in
the figure below.
The XLR engine includes a pointer mode that projects a highly visible scan line at
longer ranges to make it easier to accurately target bar codes. The user simply holds
the trigger down until the aimer is on the appropriate code. Releasing the trigger then
initiates the bar code scan.
If the scan has taken place correctly:
the Good Read LED glows steadily Green for a configurable time;
if enabled, the Good Read Beep plays;
if enabled, the GreenSpot projects a green spot onto the bar code image.
