This chapter describes the functions of the code reader:
• Camera operating modes (see chapter 4.1 "Camera operating modes")
• Reference code comparison (see chapter 4.2 "Reference code comparison")
• Code quality (see chapter 4.3 "Code quality")
• webConfig tool (see chapter 4.4 "Leuze webConfig tool")
4.1Camera operating modes
The camera operating mode defines how the code reader starts a read process and decodes the codes if a
code is located in the read field.
Functions
4.1.1
4.1.2
4.1.3
Single trigger mode
In the "Single trigger mode" camera operating mode, the code reader captures one image and attempts to
decode it. Under uniform conditions, this camera operating mode makes fast decoding possible.
Reading gate control
The "Reading gate control" camera operating mode is activated upon shipment from the factory. The reading gate control opens a time window for the read process in the code reader – the reading gate. In this
time window, the code reader can capture and decode one or more codes.
Burst mode
In the "Burst mode" camera operating mode, the code reader captures multiple images in quick succession
after activation by a trigger signal. The maximum number of image acquisitions can be set.
• Decoding occurs following image capture, thereby allowing the codes to be detected more quickly.
• As soon as the decoding result corresponds to the settings, the decoding stops the capture of the remaining images.

Functions
4.1.4
4.1.5
Presentation mode
In the "Presentation mode" camera operating mode, the code reader is in the idle state in a kind of wait
mode.
In the event of a change in the image area, e.g., by holding up a code, the code reader captures images
with illumination (as previously configured) until a code is read successfully. The code reader then switches
back to the wait mode and the illumination switches off after a few seconds.
Reading the same code multiple times
To prevent the same code from being read and output repeatedly in the "Presentation mode" camera operating mode, a delay time can be defined that must elapse before a code can be read again.
The delay time is set or deactivated with the webConfig tool (see chapter 9 "Commissioning – Leuzeelectronic webConfig tool").
Configuration > Control > Reread delay
Sensitivity
This function can only be activated in the "Presentation mode" camera operating mode. You can set the
sensitivity threshold at which a change in the field of view is to be detected: 0…100.
• 0 = not sensitive
• 100 = sensitive
Continuous mode
In the "Continuous mode" camera operating mode, the code reader operates continuously in process
mode. In this mode, image acquisition is started again immediately after an image has been processed. An
external trigger signal is not required.
Image frequency
You can limit the maximum number of images per second. A reduction in image frequency is recommended for slow applications where the object with the code moves slowly past the code reader. Consider
here the decoding time per decoding.
• It is recommended to limit the decoding time.
• It is recommended to deactivate the NOREAD output.
4.2Reference code comparison
With the reference code comparison, the code reader compares the actual decoding result with a stored
reference code – the exact code content is compared.
The code reader is to perform a partial comparison of two characters "42". Beginning with the string
"42", any number of characters and content may follow.
• Comparison string entered in the webConfig tool: ^42
Ä When entering regular expressions, note the use of space characters.
4.3Code quality
Overview
To check the code quality, you can activate the Code quality function. This function determines the code
quality for bar codes and 2D-codes in compliance with ISO/IEC15416 and ISO/IEC15415.
NOTICE
Activating the Code quality function increases the decoding time.
The code quality is given as follows: A…F
• A = High quality
• F = Low quality
The following options are available:
• Determination of individual features for bar codes and 2D-codes
• Setting of a minimum quality (= NOMINALMINIMUM)
• Output of each feature via the interface and as a programmable switching output
ISO/IEC15416 mode: Individual features for bar codes

decoded, the minimum quality is output via the switching output for the first found code only.
4.4Leuze webConfig tool
The webConfig configuration tool offers a graphical user interface for the configuration of the code reader
via a PC (see chapter 9 "Commissioning – Leuzeelectronic webConfig tool").
The wizard of the webConfig tool can be used to easily configure the code reader in just a few steps.

• Mounting using two M4 mounting threads on the rear of the device (devices with stainless steel housing)
• Mounting using two M4 mounting threads on each of the side surfaces of the device

NOTICE
Ä Mount the device on a metal mounting bracket.
6.1Determining the mounting position of the code reader
Mounting
6.1.1
Selecting a mounting location
NOTICE
The size of the code module influences the maximum reading distance and the width of the
reading field. Therefore, when selecting a mounting location and/or the suitable code label, take
into account the different reading characteristics of the code reader with various code modules.
NOTICE
Observe when choosing the mounting location!
Ä Make certain that the required environmental conditions (humidity, temperature) are main-
tained.
Ä Avoid possible soiling of the reading window due to liquids, abrasion by boxes, or packaging
material residues.
Ä Ensure the lowest possible chance of damage to the code reader through mechanical colli-
sion or jammed parts.
Ä Avoid possible ambient light influence (no direct sunlight).
Take the following factors into account when selecting the correct mounting location:
• Size, orientation, and position tolerance of the bar codes or Data Matrix codes on the objects to be
scanned.
• The reading distance resulting from the code size and code type (see chapter 6.1.3 "Determining the
reading distance").
• Time of data output.
Position the device in such a way that, taking into consideration the time required for data processing
and the conveyor belt speed, there is sufficient time to e.g. initiate sorting operations on the basis of the
read data.
• The permissible line lengths between code reader and host system depending on which interface is
used.
• Visibility of the control panel and access to the control buttons.
• No direct sunlight and/or no strong ambient light on the code that is to be read.
