Using a Laser with the Falcon

Falcon

DOS Portable Terminals

Overview

Some models of the Falcon come with a built-in high-performance laser

scanner. To use this scanner, point the laser window at a bar code and

press the trigger that activates the laser. A red light-emitting diode (LED)

on the scanner module indicates when the Falcon is scanning, and a green

LED indicates when a scan is successful.

Some Falcon models are equipped with a long-range scanner. Refer to

page 54 for information on using a long-range scanner on the Falcon.

The Falcon

33X and 34X have a built-in front shooting laser.

1. To use the laser, aim the top of the unit at a barcode.

• The laser is not aimed straight from the unit, but angles down at

approximately a 15 degree angle. This allows scanning barcodes

with a more natural hand position.

2. Press the

<Scan> key.

3. A red LED directly below the LCD (above the

<F3> key) indicates

when the Falcon is scanning.

4. This LED switches to green when a scan is successful.

Laser Triggers

The left trigger (as seen from the front of the unit) is the default setting to

operate the Falcon laser or another bar code reader attached to the Falcon,

and the right trigger toggles the Falcon in and out of Alpha mode (models

31X) or Function mode (models 32X).The operation of these triggers can

be switched. This will allows use of the right trigger as the laser trigger and

the left trigger as the mode toggle.

To swap the trigger operations in the Falcon

31X:

•Press the

<FN 2> key, and then press the <SWAP> key

NOTE

On the Falcon 34X 48-key keypad, there is no <Scan> key. Use the trigger.
