Trigger Modes

Level Mode - A trigger event activates decode processing, which continues
until the trigger event ends, a valid decode, or the decode session time-out is
reached. This scan mode is not available for scan module.

Presentation Mode - When the device detects an object in its field of view it
triggers and attempts to decode. The range of object detection does not vary
under normal lighting conditions. This applies to decode mode only. In this
mode the unit does not enter its sleep state.

Host Mode - A host command issues the t rig gering signal. The device
interprets a trigger pull as a level triggering option. This scan mode is not
available for scan module.

USB Polling Interval

This option speeds up the USB HID Keyboard Emulation Device. Scan a bar
code below to set the polling interval. The polling interval determines the rate
at which data can be sent between the decoder and the host computer. A lower
number indicates a faster data rate. The default value is 8 msec.

When the polling interval is changed the decoder re-initializes.

CAUTION: Ensure your host machine can handle the selected data rate.

Selecting a data rate that is too fast for your host machine may
result in lost data.

Symbologies

The device is shipped with the settings shown in the Symbology Default Table
if the default values suit requirements; programming is not necessary.

There are two ways to change a parameter value:

 Scan the appropriate bar codes in this guide. These new values replace

the standard default values in m emory.

 For SSI and USB SNAPI hosts, send a “param eter send” co mm and from

the host system. Hexadecimal parameter numbers are shown in this section
below the parameter title, and options are shown in parenthesis beneath the

accompanying bar codes.
Note: Most computer monitors allow scanning the bar codes directly on the
screen. When scanning them on the screen, be sure to set the document
magnification to a level where the bar code can be seen clearly, and bars
and/or spaces are not merging.

To return all features to default values, scan the Set Default Parameter bar
code. Throughout the programming bar code menus, default values are framed.
