CREATE ONE-SCAN SETUP BARCODES
The fact is most of the scanner parameters require only one read for setting new values.
To facilitate configuring the scann er, you may create One-Scan setup barcodes for use.
The requirements of a One-Scan setup barcode are:
a prefix of the “#@” characters
the six digits of command parameters
a suffix of the “#”character
For example, the scanner needs reading three setup barcodes for the command
parameter “109952” to take effect:
Enter Setup
List Page 3
Update
Now, it requires only one read:
One-Scan Setup Barcode
for 109952
Note: The scanner will restart automatically upon reading the One-Scan setup barcode
for (1) changing the interface or (2) setting memory mode, enable or disable. It
will respond with a long beep and its LED will come on-off shortly.

1.2 MEMORY
The collected data can be sent back to a host computer one by one via the WPAN
connection or stored in flash memory when the scanner is set to Memory mode.
1.2.1 TRANSMIT BUFFER
By default, transmit buffer is enabled and for use when the scanner is out of range. Upon
reading a barcode successfully within range, the scanner responds with one short beep
(high tone) and its LED indicator becomes solid green and goes off quickly. How ever, the
host computer may not receive the data immediately if getting out of range. With the 10
KB transmit buffer, the scanner can ignore the transmission status and keep on reading
barcodes until the buffer is full.
When transmit buffer is enabled…
If the scanner is out of range, it will respond with two short beeps, high-low tone, upon reading a
barcode successfully.
When transmit buffer is full, the scanner will respond with one long beep (low tone) and its LED
indicator will become solid red and go off quickly. You are advised to get back to range.
When transmit buffer is disabled…
If the scanner is out of range, it will respond with one long beep (low tone) and its LED indicator

Note: The 10 KB transmit buffer on the scanner can hold as many as 640 scans based on
EAN-13 barcodes. Data will be cleared out once the scanner is turned off or
running out of battery power!
When the scanner is in memory mode, it means any real-time connection established
with the host is disabled. 1664 scanner keeps 4MB flash memory for memory mode
operation, which can store over 240,000 scans based on EAN-13 barcodes.

1.9 DELAY BETWEEN RE-READ
This is also referred to as the “Blocking Time”, which is u sed to prevent the scann er from
accidentally reading the same barcode twice when the scan mode is set to any of the
following –
Select the level of reading security. For example,
If "No Redundan cy" 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
decoding 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 selected, the higher the reading security is, and
thus, the slower the reading speed becomes. It has to compromise between reading
security and decoding speed.
