Aim Function for Long Range Engine
The Aim function causes a laser scanner to output a “pin-point”
aiming aid for a specified period of time (see below) to enable a
user to more easily scan distant bar code labels.
Default is “No”.
Aiming Time for Long Range Engine
The Aiming Time function specifies the duration of the Aim
Function (see above) The length of duration can be specified
from 500ms to 2 seconds, in half-second increments.
Default is “1 second”.
Preamble

The above special characters must be bracketed by < > symbols
as shown.
Function codes (F keys, cursor up, Enter, etc.) can also be

and must include surrounding brackets (<>).
Letters and numbers should be entered directly by keyboard
input without surrounding brackets (<>).

scanned data. A common postamble would be to insert a “Tab”
in lieu of an “Enter” terminator (see page 24).
