Omnidirectional and/or Linear Imager Modes
The area imager can be configured to operate as an omnidirectional imager, or a
linear imager, or a combination of both. Trigger
†
and presentation operations can
be configured separately for omnidirectional and linear scan modes.
•When a unit is configured to operate as an omnidirectional imager, all
1D and 2D bar codes are scanned omnidirectionally. The only
exceptions are Code 128 scanner configuration labels, which must be
linearly aligned for successful scanning.
Note: The IS4900 area-imaging engines do not require linear
alignment of Code 128 scanner configuration labels. The bar
code should be placed near the center of the engine's field of
view indicated by the targeting dot.
•When a unit is configured to operate as a linear imager, 1D bar codes
must be linearly aligned for successful scanning. In linear configuration
2D bar codes cannot be scanned.
•When a unit is configured to operate as both a linear and
omnidirectional imager, 1D bar codes have to be linearly aligned for
successful scanning while 2D bar codes are scanned omnidirectionally.
By default, the Focus product series
is configured for omnidirectional scanning
for trigger and presentation operations. By default, the MS7580 is configured to
omnidirectional scanning for presentation and pass-through operations and with
1D linear scanning/2D omnidirectional scanning for button

Inventory Mode††
In Inventory mode, there is a quantity field associated with each bar code.
When an item’s bar code is scanned, the MS1633 automatically stores the bar
code data in its non-volatile memory with a quantity field set to 1. The quantity
field can then be modified using the quantity bar codes on page 20. The bar
code data is not automatically transmitted to the host. To transmit the stored
data, the Transmit All Records bar code (below) must be scanned.

The quantity bar codes on page 20 enable the user to enter a quantity for the
last item scanned. The item’s bar code data will be stored and transmitted as
many times as the quantity indicates. If the Transmit Quantity Field feature
(on page 18) has been enabled then the bar code data will be stored and
transmitted once with a numerical quantity added to the end of the data string.
If a quantity is not entered, a value of 1 will be entered as the default.
The quantity maximum value is 9999. Quantity digits are shifted from right to left
so if a 5th digit is scanned the 1st digit scanned will be discarded and the 2nd, 3rd
th
digits will be moved to the left to accommodate the new digit.
and 4
For example, if the Quantity 5 bar code is scanned after the quantity has been
set to 1234 then the 1 will be dropped and the quantity will become 2345.
Examples
To add a quantity of 5
1. Scan the item’s bar code
To correct an incorrect quantity using the quantity codes, scan the Quantity 0 bar
code to replace the incorrect digits then scan the correct Quantity bar codes
located on page 20.
Example
The Delete Last Record bar code, on page 22, can also be used to delete the
incorrect record and quantity. Just re-scan the bar code with the correct quantity
after using the Delete Last Record bar code.
2. Scan the Quantity 5 bar code (on page 20)
To add a quantity of 1,500
1. Scan the item’s bar code
2. Scan the Quantity 1 bar code (on page 20)
3. Scan the Quantity 5 bar code (on page 20)
4. Scan the Quantity 0 bar code (on page 20)
5. Scan the Quantity 0 bar code (on page 20)
To change a quantity of 103 to 10 using the quantity codes
1. Scan the Quantity 0 bar code to change the quantity to 1030
2. Scan the Quantity 0 bar code to change the quantity to 0300
3. Scan the Quantity 1 bar code to change the quantity to 3001
4. Scan the Quantity 0 bar code to change the quantity to 0010

When this feature is enabled, Aztec bar codes with a structured append header
will be stored in the imager’s memory buffer. The imager will transmit the
concatenated message once every component of the structured append bar
code has been read. Up to 16 components can be stored.
If this feature is disabled, Aztec bar codes with structured append header will be
read as normal Aztec bar codes. However, in this case, the structured append
header will be sent as part of the bar code data.
Notes: CodeSelect
®
and structured append features cannot be used
concurrently. If both CodeSelect and structured append are enabled,
CodeSelect feature will not work.
The CodeSelect timeout setting determines how much time will be
allowed between individual components of the same bar code
(similar to CodeSelect operation).
By default, the imager will emit an intermediate beep when each component is
scanned. When only one scan buffer is enabled, the user will be required to
release the trigger after reading each bar code component.

Note: If the intermediate beep is disabled and the number of scan buffers is

was scanned.
