2. Position the RS6000 approximately 22.8 cm (9 inches) from a bar code. Aim the cross hair laser beam to cover
the bar code. The RS6000 takes a digital picture (image) of the bar code and stores it in memory for decoding.
The Scan LED flashes green and a high beep sounds indicating that the bar code was properly decoded.
Aiming the RS6000
The aiming pattern of the RS6000 is a cross hair laser beam with bright center dot (see Figure 7). The virtual
rectangle made by the cross hair reflects the field of view of the RS6000. The aiming pattern is used to position the
bar code within the field of view.
Figure 7 Cross Hair Laser Beam
Enter the symbol in any orientation within the virtual rectangle made by the cross hair laser beam, making use of its
omnidirectional reading capability within the entire field of view.
Figure 8 Bar Code Scan Orientation
The RS6000 can also read a bar code presented within the aiming pattern but not centered (see the top bar codes
on Figure 9). The bar codes marked with X in Figure 9, however, show bar code aiming that may result in no
decode.
When using the application on your mobile computer in “Pick List” mode, the Bright Center Dot can be positioned
anywhere on the symbol (see Figure 7). The top examples in Figure 9 show acceptable aiming options, while the
bottom examples can not be decoded.
NOTE: By default the proximity sensor is configured for medium range of up to 40.6 cm (16 inches). The range
can be adjusted for short or long range scanning, depending on the scanning application. See page 109.
