Reading Techniques
The Voyager 1602g has a large scan button just forward of a smaller, programmable button. (See Programmable Button on
page 4-1 for further information about the programmable button.)
Press the scan button to project an aiming beam. This beam should be centered over the bar code, but it can be positioned in
any direction for a good read.
The aiming beam is smaller when the scanner is closer to the code and larger when it is farther from the code. Symbologies
with smaller bars or elements (mil size) should be read closer to the scanner. Symbologies with larger bars or elements (mil
size) should be read farther from the scanner. To read single or multiple symbols (on a page or on an object), hold the scanner
at an appropriate distance from the target, press the scan button, and center the aiming beam on the symbol. If the code being
scanned is highly reflective (e.g., laminated), it may be necessary to tilt the code up 15° to 18° to prevent unwanted reflection.
Menu Bar Code Security Settings
Honeywell scanners are programmed by scanning menu bar codes or by sending serial commands to the scanner. If you want
to restrict the ability to scan menu codes, you can use the Menu Bar Code Security settings. Contact the nearest technical sup-
port office (see Technical Assistance on page -ix) for further information.
