Scan Depth 5 to 55mm (5mil)
The Cobalto™ scanner (reader) delivers high performance in a
small, fixed reader that can also be used as a targeted handheld
scanner. Its innovative design maximizes productivity and minimizes operator stress, strain and fatigue.
Operational Modes
The scanner can easily adapt to either fixed/portable or targeted
handheld scanning applications. The front scan window, with its
multi-line scan pattern, is used for most retail items. By touching
the top button, the reader emits a single targeted scan pattern for
handheld scanning of hard to read or bulky items, or to read an
individual bar code among many bar codes.
Fixed Mode
To use the scanner in Fixed Mode, seat it securely on the table. The
reader can scan bar codes either in a Sweep or Presentation Mode
to accommodate different user styles. To better adjust for your
scanning needs, the scanner head can be tilted up or down.

Controls & Indicators
Touch Button
The touch button located on top of the head causes the scanner to
enter Targeted Handheld Mode. In this mode, the reader scans bar
codes with a single scan line. Releasing the touch button returns
the scanner to the Fixed/ Portable Scanning Mode.
Pressing and releasing the touch button will also wake up the
scanner, if it has entered Standby Mode, and return it to normal
operation.
Visual Indicator
The LED region encircling the touch button performs several indications:
• On blue – Indicates that the scanner is operational and
ready to scan.
• Flashes once green when the scanner has read a bar code
to indicate a successful read. This is usually accompanied
by a good read tone (or “jingle”) from the speaker.
• When illumination turns off and the top green LED turns
off, this indicates the scanner is in Standby Mode due to
an extended period of inactivity.
• Flashing green repeatedly, accompanied by a series of
tones indicates a failure has occurred. Contact your service personnel.
Speaker
The speaker also indicates scanner functions:
• Normal Tone – A single tone when the scanner reads a
bar code indicates a good read.
• Passed Selftest – A series of four tones are emitted when
power is first applied to the scanner. This indicates the
scanner passed the Selftest and is operating properly.
• Error Tone – The speaker sounds a series of tones alerting the operator of a possible system or component failure. If your scanner exhibits this behavior or behaves
erratically, contact your service personnel.
Ring of Light
The ring of light is illuminated with an attractive blue color during
normal operation. It flashes green when the scanner has read a
bar code, indicating a good read.
