User Setup
The User tab contains the options that effect how you use and
interact with the scanning program. These options include targeting
and scanning key selections, and audio and visual confirmation if a
scan is successful or not.
To target bar codes, the scanner emits a small laser beam showing a
red dot where the scan will take place. This target beam allows you to
line up the scanner with the bar code.
To scan bar codes, the scanner emits a laser as a thin red line that
covers the entire length of a bar code. In the scanning process, the bar
code is read, decoded, and then transferred to a data collection
program open on your Allegro.
