Quick Reference Guide 1
WLS8600
Using the WLS8600
WLS8600 readers automatically scan barcodes at a distance. Simply aim and pull
the trigger. Code scanning is performed along the scan line emitted from the reading window. This line must cross the entire code. The best reading angles are indicated in the figure below.:
Aiming System
The WLS8600 provides an aiming system. If enabled, a partial trigger press produces a red spot, which should be aimed over the code center to get the best reading
performance, see figure (1) above. By completely pressing the trigger the scan line
appears to start code scanning (2).
After setting up the reader, you can enable or disable the aiming system by reading
the codes below:
