# Scan animated icon

The scanner locks focus, then reads. Light: the four brackets snap in on the target and spring back out, then the scan bar crosses the frame at a steady speed and stops dead at the lower edge. Strong: a deeper focus snap, the same steady pass, and on arrival the brackets squeeze once more to confirm the capture. The bar holds at the lower edge.
