• If the BHT fails to read due to specular effects or other factors, change the
scanning angle of the reading window or the distance from codes as shown
at right, and try it again. (Specular effects occur when the reflection of the
light from the bar code becomes excessively strong. This can eas il y happe n
when the reflecting surface is polished or covered with vinyl.)

• The laser light indicates the scanning range as a guide. The indicated
scanning range will deviate a little bit from the actual one. Keep th e BHT so
that the laser light comes to almost the center of the bar code height.

• The bar code reading procedure may differ depending upon the application used, so follow the application’s
manual.

• Before reading labels, clean them if stained.

• Avoid using the BHT in direct sunlight. The BHT might fail to read correctly.

• To read bar codes on curved surfaces, apply the bar-code reading window to the center of each ba
code at a right angle.

• If you pull the bar-code reading window away from bar codes, the actual scanning range will
become narrower than the range covered by the illumination LED.

• Do not use the BHT in the vicinity of radio equipment. The BHT may malfunction.

• The light intensity of the laser light or illumination LED will vary depending upon the scann ing
conditions and variation of its elements.

• By using the “KbifCE” utility software, codes read by the BHT can be converted into keyboard data
to be transmitted to an application program. The utility software can be downloaded from our web
site (

http://www.denso-wave.com). For further details, refer to “2D Code Scanner/Barcode

Activating this function might increase the frequency of bar-code reading errors. Usually this
function should be set to OFF.

77

DECODE LEVEL

You may set the decode level. Decreasing the level value increases the bar-code reading efficiency, but
the BHT might misread low-quality bar codes (split or stained). To the contrary, increasing the level
value decreases the bar-code reading efficiency, but it will diminish the possibility of misreading.

The setting range of the level value is from 1 to 9 and the default is 4.

MARKER

You can select the marker ON/OFF mode from the following:
Normal: Normal mode driven by the trigger switch
Always: In addition to Normal mode, the laser light flashes for 30 seconds while waiting for reading to be

None: OFF mode

In Normal mode, the marker comes on at the same time as the illumination LED does.

Always mode consumes more current when compared with other modes, and therefore the operating
time is shorter. Do not use this mode unless necessary.

Minimum number of digits to be read for ITF, STF, or CODABAR

You can set the minimum number of digits to be read for ITF, STF, and CODABAR.
Setting a small number of digits increases the frequency of digit-missing reading or misreading

depending upon how to scan bar codes or the quality of bar codes. On the other hand, setting a large
number will diminish the possibility of those errors.

The setting range is from 2 to 20 for ITF, from 1 to 20 for STF, and from 3 to 20 for CODABAR. The
default is 4 for ITF and CODABAR, and 3 for STF.
