1.2 User and Product Safety
• Do not stare into the laser or LED beam directly or shine it into eyes.
• Never use strong pressure onto the screen or subject it to severe impact, as the LCD panel
could become cracked and possibility cause personal injury. If the LCD panel is broken,
never touch the liquid inside because the liquid irritates the skin.
• Although the PDT has passed the test of IP54 standard for water and dust resistance,
avoid prolonged exposure to rain or other concentrated moisture. Such conditions exceeds
the IP54 standard, and could result in water or other contaminants entering into the PDT.
•Use only the original approved AC Adapter with the PDT. Use of an unapproved AC
Adapter could result in electrical problems, or even cause a fire or electrical shock to the
user.
•Do not disassemble the PDT. Servicing should be done by Opticon only. If the PDT or

• faster reading,
• no accidental scanning of unwanted bar codes,
• reduced probability of reading errors which can not be prevented completely, because of
the limited security of some bar code types.
Bar code specific options can not be selected in this version of the Bar Code Settings tool.

If the bar code reader reads an UPCA label with data ‘071589812309’, it will be send to the
application as : ‘UPCA071589812309<CR>’ where <CR> is the default suffix ASCII

3.2.1.4 Quiet zone TAB
With this option the reader can decode bar codes that have smaller start and/or end margins
than specified for the symbology. Be carefully when using this option. It may increase the
possibility of partial reads and ghost reads. Do not use smaller margin checks then
necessary. If possible replace the bar code labels by ones that have correct start and end
margins.

Field name Description
Trigger repeat This option makes it more easy to select a single bar code
from a sheet filled with barcodes. If the trigger switch is
pressed once, the laser beam is on during the configured read
time. The laser beam can now be moved to the required bar
code. If the trigger switch is pressed again, the bar code is
decoded and transmitted. If the read time timer expires, the
laser switches off and the trigger sequence should be
repeated. If the read time is set to zero, then if the trigger
switch is pressed, the laser is on, but does not accept bar
codes. As soon the trigger switch is released, the barcode is
decoded and transmitted. Default is disabled.
Redundancy This is the number of times that a label must be correctly
decoded before it is transmitted. Selecting a higher
redundancy count makes reading slower, but is reduces the
probability of reading errors, especially when labels of poor
definition are used.

If enabled, this field can be used to send serial commands to the bar code reader.
Use this option only in case you want to access bar code reader features which are not
documented in this user’s manual, but are documented in Opticon’s Universal Menu Book.
If there is no need to make any other change to the bar code reader settings, do not use this
option. A maximum of 180 characters can be input. Default this option is disabled.
