Aiming the Imager

The aimer of the Imager is a cross hair laser with bright center dot (shown below).
The virtual rectangle made by the Cross Hair Lines reflects the field of view of the
Imager. The aimer is used to position the barcode or object within the field of view.

however, may not be decoded.

The aiming pattern is smaller when the Imager 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 unit and those with larger bars or elements
(mil size) farther from the unit.
Hold the Imager between two and eleven inches (depending on symbol

symbol.
