-Standard Range (SR): The SR focusing is used to maximize the far reading distance and is the standard offering on all mobile computing products using same imager. The SR focusing is not specified to read 5 mil code 128 or
6.6 mil Databar and is thus inadequate for applications that have these somewhat higher density reading requirements. This is the default configuration and the configuration of choice where the far reading range is more important than the ability to read high density symbols.
-Driver License (DL): The DL focusing is optimized for reading all drivers license and is also specified to read higher density codes such as 5 mil code 128 and Databar and 5 Mil PDF417. As a result it has a slightly reduced range on EAN/UPC codes (typically 12" on photographic quality symbol). This is the preferred configuration where the ability to read these higher density codes is more important than range on medium or low density codes (10 mil and above). DL is recommended in electronics, pharmacy or when handling small items.
Inspect the equipment for damage. If you are missing any equipment or if you find any damaged equipment, contact the Zebra Support immediately. See Service Information on page 14 for contact information.

5.The Scan LED starts flashing green indicating that the Imager is attempting to establish connection with a mobile computer.
NOTE: If the Imager default PIN code is required for establishing connection, enter the following code: "12345". You may also need to set the authentication and encryption to Enabled.
6.When connection is established, the Scan LED turns off and the Imager emits one string of low/high beeps.
The Imager is connected and ready for scanning.
NOTE: When replacing the Imager battery, the Imager memory retains the pairing information of the last paired mobile computer.
The Imager maintains Bluetooth communication with a mobile computer within a range of 10 meters (30 feet).
When the Imager fails to establish connection or connection is lost during operation, the Imager emits one string of high/low beeps.
To reestablish the Bluetooth connection with a mobile computer:
1.Ensure that the Imager is within a range of 10 meters (30 feet) from the mobile computer.
2.Ensure that the mobile computer is on and “awake” (not in Suspend mode).

NOTE: Removing Bluetooth connection is only required if the Imager is configured to auto-connect upon power-up (permanent pairing is enabled) and has to be paired with a different mobile computer.
To remove Bluetooth connection:
1.Scan an un-pairing bar code for disconnecting the Imager from the mobile computer.
Figure 14 Un-pairing Bar Code
2.The Imager emits one string of high/low beeps indicating that Bluetooth communication with the mobile computer is disconnected.
27
Getting Started
In order to pair the Imager with a mobile computer over Bluetooth, a pairing bar code must be created. You can use the Display_BD_Address application on the mobile computer, or create and print a pairing bar code label. To create a pairing bar code label, the Bluetooth address of the mobile computer should be available (refer to the mobile computer user guide).
Pairing bar codes are Code 128, Data Matrix or Aztec symbologies formatted as follows: <Fnc3>Bxxxxxxxxxxxx
Where xxxxxxxxxxxx represents the 12-character Bluetooth address.
If the mobile computer to which the Imager connects has a Bluetooth address of 11:22:33:44:55:66, then the pairing bar code is:
Figure 15 Creating a Pairing Bluetooth Bar Code
Paring Bar Code Content: <Fnc 3> ‘B’ + Bluetooth Address
The Imager uses digital camera technology to take an image of a bar code and software decoding algorithms are executed to extract the bar code data from the image.
1.Launch a scanning software application on the mobile computer.
2.Position the Imager approximately 22.8 cm (9 inches) from a bar code and press the Scan Trigger. Position the cross hair laser beam to cover the bar code. The Imager takes a digital picture (image) of the bar code and stores it in memory for decoding.
NOTE: After battery is inserted or a corded adaptor is connected (on both sides), the first trigger press disables the auto triggering mode.
3.One green flash of the LEDs is given and a high beep sounds to indicate that the bar code was properly decoded.
NOTE: In some configurations proper decoding of a bar code is indicated by the software application running on the mobile computer.
The Imager is provided with auto-triggering capability. In auto-triggering mode, both motion and proximity sensors are used to trigger the Imager when the user intends to scan a bar code.
28
Getting Started
With auto-triggering activated, the Imager automatically scans when motion stops and a bar code is placed within the depth of field of the Imager. The Imager scans the bar code and turns off to conserve power.
To scan a bar code in auto-triggering mode:
1.Position the Imager approximately 22.8 cm (9 inches) from a bar code.
2.Aim at the bar code.
3.The Imager takes a picture (image) of the bar code and stores it in memory for decoding.
4.One green flash of the Scan LEDs and a high beep indicates that a bar code was properly decoded.
NOTE: In some applications, proper detection of a bar code is indicated by a software application running on the mobile computer.
The aiming pattern of the Imager is a cross hair laser beam with bright center dot (see Figure 16). The virtual rectangle made by the cross hair reflects the field of view of the Imager. The aiming pattern is used to position the bar code within the field of view.
Figure 16 Cross Hair Laser Beam

The Imager can also read a bar code presented within the aiming pattern but not centered (see the top bar codes on Figure 18). The bar codes marked with X in Figure 18, however, show bar code aiming that may result in no decode.
When using the application on your mobile computer in “Pick List” mode, the Bright Center Dot can be positioned anywhere on the symbol (see Figure 16).The top examples in Figure 18 show acceptable aiming options, while the bottom examples can not be decoded.
