1 - 6 4800p 2D Imager User’s GuideThe 4800p’s viewfinder projects a green aiming beam that should be centeredover the bar code, but can be positioned in any direction for a good read.Hold the scanner with the aiming beam centered over the bar code. The 4800pbeeps when it successfully reads a bar code. Do not move the 4800p overanother bar code until it beeps. The optimum distance between the 4800p andthe object being scanned is 2 to 5 inches (5.1 - 12.7 cm). The height from the4800p to the stand’s tray is the proper distance.The aiming beam is smaller when the imager is closer to the code and largerwhen it is farther from the code. Symbologies with smaller bars or elements (milsize) should be read closer to the unit. Symbologies with larger bars or elements(mil size) should be read farther from the unit. If the code being scanned is highlyreflective (e.g., laminated), it may be necessary to tilt the code +5° to preventunwanted reflection.4800p StandThe stand holds the 4800p at a fixed distance for capturing images or readingbar codes on security/identification cards. The wedge insert supplied with thestand provides the optimum angle for scanning and capturing images in mostlighting conditions. The card should be placed on the wedge with the bar codeclosest to the back of the stand.Linear bar code 2D Matrix symbol
