WLS8600 readers automatically scan barcodes at a distance. Simply aim and pull the trigger. Code scanning is performed along the scan line emitted from the reading window. This line must cross the entire code. The best reading angles are indicated in the figure below.:

NO NO OK OK

Aiming System

①

②

The WLS8600 provides an aiming system. If enabled, a partial trigger press produces a red spot, which should be aimed over the code center to get the best reading performance, see figure (1) above. By completely pressing the trigger the scan line appears to start code scanning (2).

After setting up the reader, you can enable or disable the aiming system by reading the codes below:

Disable Aiming System (Default)

Compliance

Laser Safety Compliance

The laser scanner conforms to the applicable requirements of both CDRH 21 CFR 1040 and EN60825-1 at the date of manufacture.

The laser light is visible to the human eye and is emitted from the output window (1).

Laser warning and classification label (2).

Diagram of a yellow and black barcode scanner with labeled parts 1 and 2

Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in exposure to hazardous visible laser light.

The laser scanner utilizes a low-power laser diode. Although staring directly at the laser beam momentarily causes no known biological damage, avoid staring at the beam as one would with any very strong light source, such as the sun. Avoid that the laser beam hits the eye of an observer, even through reflective surfaces such as mirrors, etc.

The following information is shown on the laser scanner device class label:

DO NOT STARE INTO BEAM This product complies with 21 CFR Subchapter J LASER RADIATION - DO NOT STARE INTO BEAM CLASS 2 LASER PRODUCT (EC) MAX. OUTPUT RADIATION 1 mW EMITTED WAVE LENGTH 630~680 nm EN60025-12007 See Pkg for patent listing CAUTION CLASS 2 LASER LIGHT WHEN OPEN AVOID EXPOSURE - LASER LIGHT IS EMITTED FROM THIS APERTURE CLASS 1 LED PRODUCT 10
