Reading Symbols with the HE40T
1. The HE40T features omnidirectional decoding. Center the
symbol in any orientation within the laser dot aiming pattern,
as shown in Figure 1–25.
Note: The HE40T can read a symbol that is not centered;
however, the HE40T performs best when a code is centered.
The HE40T features omnidirectional decoding. Aiming the
targeting laser at the center of the symbol ensures the best
performance for decoding. The HE40T can read a symbol that
is not centered and, under certain circumstances if multiple
symbols are within the field of view, the user must take care of
which symbol is read. The decoder will start from the center,
but if the center symbol is not decodable, it may decode
another symbol, if multiple symbols are present within the
field of view.

2. The HE40T was developed to decode both very small 2-D
symbols and larger 1-D symbols. The unit features two imagers
to create an innovative dual decode zone. The HE40T features
a high speed processor and decodes both zones simultaneously
by default. The unit has one imager focused on a near-field for
smaller codes (optimal focal point is 4 inches) and one imager
focused on a far-field for larger codes (optimal focal point 9
inches). To read smaller symbols, move the HE40T closer to
the symbol. To read larger symbols, move the unit farther away
from the symbol. The entire HE40T decode zone varies
between two (2”) and twenty (20+”) or more inches.
