READ A SETUP LABEL

CONFIGURE PARAMETERS

For most of the scanner parameters, only one read is required to set them to new values. The scanner will respond with two beeps when each parameter is set successfully.

But for a number of special parameters, multiple reads are required to complete the setting. In this case, the scanner will respond with a short beep to indicat e it needs to read more setup labels. These special parameters may require reading one or more setup labels, such as

 Numeric labels, say, for keyboard type, inter-character delay, length qualification  Hexadecima l labels, say, for character strings as prefix, suffix, etc.  When “Keyboard Wedge” is configured for interface, Key Type and Key Status will

then become applicable. You may decide whether or not to change key status when “Normal Key” is selected for Key Type.

To complete the configuration of these special parameters, it requires reading the “Validate” label, and the scanner will respond with two beeps (low- high tone) to indicate the input values are validated.

The dual-color LED on top of the scanner is used to provide user feedback. For example, the LED becomes solid red and goes off quickly (= Standby mode) upon powering on or running out of transmit buffer. You may tell the difference by the beeps – for example, you will hear a long beep of high tone when powering on the scanner, and a long beep of low tone when the transmit buffer becomes full.

By default, the effective decoding area is 100% covered by the scanned area. However, you may narrow down the decoding area to prevent reading the wrong barcode when a number of barcodes are printed closely. The scanner will only read barcodes that appear in the effective decoding area.

Read the label “Centering On” and specify the percentage to narrow down the decoding area. For example, read “Left 10%” and then “Right 30%” for the scanner to decode barcode “A” only.

1.12.1 READ REDUNDANCY FOR ALL SYMBLOGIES

Select the level of reading security. For example,

 If "No Redund ancy" is selected, one successful decoding will make the reading valid

and induce the "READER Event".

 If "Three Times" is selected, it will take a total of four consecutive successful

decodings of the same barcode to make the reading valid. The higher the reading security is (that is, the more redundancy the user selects), the slower the reading speed gets.

It is obvious that the more redundancy you select, the higher the reading security is, and thus, the slower the reading speed becomes. You will have to compromise between reading security and decoding speed.

Because of the weak structure of the 2 of 5 symbologies, it is possible to make a "short scan" error. To prevent the "short scan" error, define the "Length Qualification" settings to ensure that the correct barcode is read by qualifying the allowable code length.

 If "Max /Min Length" is selected, the maximum length and the minimum length must

be specified. It only accepts those barcodes with lengths that fall between max/min lengths specified.
