DS36X8 Aiming
Aiming with DS36X8-SR
When scanning, the DS36X8-SR digital scanner projects an orange LED dot which allows positioning the barcode
within its field of view. See DS36X8-SR Aiming Pattern on page 3-12 for the proper distance to achieve between
the digital scanner and a barcode.
If necessary, the digital scanner turns on its red LEDs to illuminate the target barcode.
To scan a barcode, center the symbol and ensure the entire symbol is within the rectangular area formed by the
illumination LEDs. The digital scanner can also read a barcode presented within the aiming dot not centered.I
Figure 3-6 DS36X8-SR Aiming Pattern
The aiming dot is smaller when the digital 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 digital scanner, and those with larger
bars or elements (mil size) farther from the digital scanner.
The digital scanner beeps to indicate that it successfully decoded the barcode. For more information on beeper and
LED definitions, see Table 3-1 on page 3-2.
Aiming with DS36X8-HD and DS36X8-HP
When scanning, the DS36X8-HD and DS36X8-HP projects a red laser aiming pattern which allows positioning the
barcode within its field of view. See Table 3-5 on page 3-14 and Table 3-6 on page 3-14 for the proper distance to
achieve between the digital scanner and a barcode.
If necessary, the digital scanner turns on its white LEDs to illuminate the target barcode.
To scan a barcode, center the symbol in any orientation within the aiming pattern. Be sure the entire symbol is
within the rectangular area formed by the cross pattern.
