5.22.1 Trigger Mappings

A trigger mapping is an association between a particular key on the keyboard and a driver or
application, the module(s)– sometimes referred to as “trigger consumer(s)”–of the trigger
source. Along with keyboard keys, trigger sources can also be grip triggers, external hard­ware triggers or software-based. When the specified key is pressed, the trigger consumer
(for example, a decoded scanner) is sent a message.

Important: It is not possible to have two or more identical mappings—for example [F1]

cannot be mapped to the Non-Decoded Scanner twice—even if the trigger
type is different.

A keyboard key that is used as a trigger source will no longer generate key
data or perform its normal function. For example, if the space button is used
as a trigger source, it will not be able to send space characters to
applications.

Double-Click

When a key is pressed and released, then pressed again within the configured time (between
0 to 1000 milliseconds), a double-click occurs. See also “Trigger Press Type” on page 120.

with devices such as Imagers or RFID Readers.

It is also possible to map different sources to the same module (trigger con­sumer)—for example, two different trigger keys can be mapped to the RFID File
System.

Trigger Press Type

You can enable either an Up/Down or Double Click response to a trigger press. Normally,
when a trigger (keyboard key, etc.) is pressed and released, a “trigger down” event is sent to
the “owner”—that is, the application receiving the trigger press information—followed by a
“trigger up”. If Double Click is chosen in this menu, when the trigger is pressed, released,
and then pressed again, a “double-click” event will occur. If a mapping with the Up/down
type has also been configured for the same source, it will only receive the first set of trigger
events.

The Estimated Battery Backup is the amount of battery power that is reserved to protect data
until a charged battery can be installed in the PDA. When the battery capacity is depleted up
to the Estimated Battery Backup reserve specified in the Suspend Threshold tab, the PDA
shuts off automatically and uses the reserve power to preserve the data stored on the iKôn
PDA. Once the PDA shuts down, it cannot be switched on until a fresh battery is installed,
or the unit is inserted in a docking station or cradle.

•Slide the Suspend Threshold button to the right to increase the battery capacity
reserved for backup purposes. Data will be preserved to a maximum of 124 hours.

•Slide the Suspend Threshold button to the left to decrease the power reserved for
backup purposes; this increases the PDA’s operating time – the amount of time the PDA
will operate before shutting down – but reduces the power reserved for backup purposes
to a minimum of 24 hours.

Internal super-capacitors will protect the data stored in the iKôn PDA while the battery is

Important: Once the battery is removed, the super-capacitors will preserve the data

Continuous Scan Mode

Setting this parameter to ‘on’ keeps the laser on and continuously decoding as long as the
scanner button is pressed and held down.

Minimum Cancel Time

The value assigned to this parameter determines the time delay before the scanner is turned
off, once the scanner trigger or button is released. This gives the scanner a minimum amount
of time to complete its current decode before the scan is cancelled when the user quickly
triggers on/off.

Low Power Timeout

To extend laser life, you can select the length of time the scanner remains active following a
successful decode. The scanner wakes from low power mode when a bar code is scanned – a
successful decode restores normal blinking.

When you double-tap on this parameter, a dialog box is displayed in which you can choose a
value of 30 sec, 1 min, 2 min or 3 min.

Note: This parameter is only used if the Trigger Mode has been set to Continuous On and

the PDA is mounted in a fixed position; otherwise, ‘Low Power Timeout’ is not used.

Setting this parameter to on enables decoding of parameter bar codes.

Linear Security Level

This parameter allows you to select the security level appropriate for your bar code quality.
There are four levels of decode security for linear code types (e.g., Code 39, Interleaved 2 of

5). Higher security levels should be selected for decreasing levels of bar code quality. As se-

curity levels increase, the scanner’s decode speed decreases.
Double-tapping on this parameter displays a dialog box in which you can enter a value from

you can define the code length that will be recognized by your scanner.

Choosing One discrete length allows you to decode only those codes containing a selected
length. Choosing Two discrete lengths allows you to decode only those codes containing
two selected lengths. Length within a range allows you to decode a code type within a spec­ified range from 5 to 55.

CLSI Editing

When enabled, this parameter strips the start and stop characters
and inserts a space after the first, fifth, and tenth characters of a 14-character Codabar
symbol.

Note: Symbol length does not include start and stop characters.

MSI Plessey

Set Length L1 And Set Length L2

Lengths for “MSI Plessey” can be set for Any length, Length within a range, One discrete
length or Two discrete lengths. The length of a code refers to the number of characters (i.e.,

human readable characters), including check digit(s).
Double-tapping on this parameter displays a dialog box labelled Set Code Lengths where

you can define the code length that will be recognized by your scanner.
Choosing One discrete length allows you to decode only those codes containing a selected

length. Choosing Two discrete lengths allows you to decode only those codes containing two
selected lengths. Length within a range allows you to decode a code type within a specified
range from 6 to 55.

Check Digits

Double-tapping on this parameter displays a dialog box in which you can choose One or
Two check digit(s).

If this parameter is set to One, it is assumed that the last digit is a check digit. If “Check
Digits” is set to Two, it is assumed that the last two digits are check digits.

Check Digit Algorithm

When the Two MSI Ple s s e y check digits option is selected, an additional verification is re­quired to ensure integrity. Double-tapping on this parameter displays a dialog box n which

Set Length L1 And Set Length L2

Lengths for “Interleaved 2 of 5” can be set for Any length, Length within a range, One dis­crete length or Two discrete lengths. The length of a code refers to the number of characters

(i.e., human readable characters), including check digit(s).
Double-tapping on this parameter displays a dialog box labelled Set Code Lengths where

range from 4 to 14.

Check Digit Verification

When enabled, this parameter checks the integrity of an I 2 of 5 symbol to
ensure it complies with a specified algorithm – either USS (Uniform Symbology Specifica­tion) or OPCC (Optical Product Code Council).

Transmit Check Digit

If this parameter is enabled, the check digit is included with the bar code data.

5.28.1.19RSS Code

Enable

Setting this parameter to on enables “2D RSS Code” scanning capability.

Enable RSS-14 (Reduced Space Symbology)

RSS-14 code can be either purely linear or split in half with one half stacked on top of the
other half. Stacking the code reduces the bar code length, and providing the nominal height
of the code is maintained, it can be omni-directionally scanned.

Enable RSS Limited

“RSS-Limited” is restricted, in that it can only encode 14 digit GTINs (global trade item
number) that begin with either a 0 or a 1. It is not stackable and is not designed to be read
omni-directionally.
