Aimer Flashing

Sets the mode of the aimer that appears when you scan a bar code. Values for Aimer Flashing are Always On, Flashing (optimize for decode), and Always Off.

Always on means that the aimer is on during the entire time it takes to decode a bar code from the trigger pull or Scan button press to release. The aimer is fairly visible during this mode, but decoding is slower. Flashing (optimize for decode) means that the aimer turns off each time an image is captured. The aimer appears to flicker a little, but this setting increases decode speed.
