Figure 9 Acceptable Aiming Options
The aiming pattern is smaller when the RS6000 is closer to the symbol and larger when it is farther from the bar
code. Scan bar codes with smaller bars or elements (mil size) closer to the RS6000 and those with larger bars or
elements (mil size) farther from the RS6000.
1. Position the RS6000 between two and eleven inches from the bar code (depending on the bar code density).
2. 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.
Resetting the RS6000
If the RS6000 stops responding to input, reset it. There are three reset functions, warm boot, cold boot and clean
boot. Perform a warm boot first. If the RS6000 still does not respond, perform a cold boot. Perform clean boot to
restore the RS6000 to its factory default configuration.
Warm Boot
To perform warm boot, press and hold the Restore Key for more than three seconds and then release. The
RS6000 resets when the key is released.
Cold Boot
Cold boot restores the RS6000 operation by performing a power cycle of the device. To perform cold boot, remove
and re-insert the battery into the RS6000.
Clean Boot
Clean Boot restores the RS6000 to its factory default configuration.
To perform clean boot:
1. Remove battery.
NOTE: When a bar code is under transparent plastic or on a mobile computer screen, it is recommended to use
a tilt (pitch) or skew scan angle to minimize reflection.
