Figure 35 Scan Beam
Align the red beam so that the barcode is centered within the beam. The laser beam must cross the
entire barcode. Move the MX3 towards or away from the barcode so that the barcode takes up
approximately two-thirds the width of the beam.
Figure 36 Scanner LED Location
The SCNR LED turns red when the laser beam is on. Following a good read, the LED turns green,
indicating a successful scan. Beeps may be heard after a good read, depending on the application
running on the MX3.
The laser and SCNR LED automatically turn off after a successful or unsuccessful read. The
scanner is ready to scan again when the Scan key is pressed.
