Long Range Scanning Bar Codes
The P370 ALR (Long Range) scanner has an aiming feature which allows the positioning
of the laser beam when scanning bar codes. Aiming mode and Aiming duration can be set
using the bar codes below. You cannot program this feature into the standard range P370
scanner.
Aim Mode
There are two Aiming options supported by the Phaser ALR cordless scanner, trigger pull
to scan (default) and trigger release to scan.
Option 1: Trigger Pull to Scan (Default)
When you pull the trigger, the aim dot will be active for a user-selectable duration of time.
After this time, the aiming dot automatically turns into a standard laser scanning beam for
a full decode session. After the aiming dot turns into a scanning beam, the laser will stay
on until the user-selectable laser-on timeout occurs, a decode occurs, or the trigger is
released. If the trigger is released during the aim mode, the laser shut off and no decode
session occurs.
Option 2: Trigger Release to Scan
When you pull the trigger, the aiming dot will appear. The aiming dot remains present while
the trigger is pulled or until a 60 second timeout occurs. When the trigger is released, the
aiming dot turns into a standard laser scanning beam for a full decode session. The laser
stays on until a decode occurs or until the user-selectable laser-on timeout occurs. If the
trigger is pulled again while in a decode session, the scanner returns to its aiming mode.
