Aiming Beam Options
The aiming beams are smaller when the terminal is held closer to the code and larger when it is farther
from the code. Symbologies with smaller bars or elements (mil size) should be read closer to the unit
whereas symbologies with larger bars or elements (mil size) should be read farther from the unit. The
aiming beam should be oriented in line with the bar code to achieve optimal decoding. A range
of 4-10 inches (10-25 cm) from the bar code is recommended.
N5603 Red High-Vis Aiming Pattern
If your Dolphin terminal is configured with a N5603 imager, high-vis aimers frame the bar code for more
intuitive aiming. See Laser Safety on page 1-1.
