Setting this parameter to on allows t h e i mager to make automatic gain, int egr ation
and illumination adjust ments base d on ambi ent li ght before capturing the bar code.
If the adjustment is insufficient, further adjustments are made automatically before
another image is captured.
Fast Converge
Note: “Auto Exposure” must be set to ‘on’ in order for this parameter
to function.
Keep in mind that while this parame ter can impr o ve imager performance,
“Fast Converge” increases battery power consumption.
Setting this parameter to on speeds t he “ Aut o Expos ure ” pro cess . It all ows t he
imager to rapidly snap a number of bar code capture attempts while finding idea l
values for gain, integrat ion a nd il lumi nati on.
Max Gain, Max Integration And Max Illumination
Important: These parameter values should only be changed by qualified Psion
Teklogix personnel.
Imager
These parameters represent i nt erna l val ues used by the 2D imager. The “Auto
Exposure” parameter automatic ally adjus ts the “Ma x Gain”, “Max Integr ation” and
“Max Illumination” parameters to prod uce the best bar code read. Keep in mind that
“Auto Exposure” must be set to on i n orde r f or t hese parameter values to be
automatically adjuste d.
Double-tapping on any of these pa ramet er s displays an associated dialog box i n
which an allowable range is dis pla yed: Max Gain – 3 57 to 7920, Max Integration –
0 to 65535, Max Illumination – 0 to 7.
Decoder Timeout
The decoder is a set of al gorithms that exa mine the image and attempt to f ind the bar
codes, and then turn the pixels into data that the computer ca n use—thi s pr ocess
takes time. “Decoder Timeout” limits the amount o f t ime th e dec oder will spend
attempting to decode an imag e, and f orc es i t t o st op and grab a new image, which
will probably be easier to d ecode .
Note: When decoding multiple bar codes in one image, the value assigned to
‘Decoder Timeout’ sho uld be increa sed to 200ms/extra ba r c ode after the

Adaptive Windowing
“Adaptive Wi ndowi ng” i s an a dvanc ed technique used to speed up bar code
recognition in cert ain appl icati ons. This para meter aut omatical ly reduces the si ze of
the window to the user- progr amme d windo w size when i t su ccessfully decodes
(which reduces decode time the next time it is used), but incre ase s it to t he f ull si ze
window (1280x1024 for SX5303) on a failed decode.
Note: This feature assumes that you have reached an understanding about how
the device operates in y our application, and that, afte r a le arni ng pe ri od,
operators will get used to using the imager in one particular way. It also
assumes that a trained operator will usually only have near miss scenarios.
Constant Illumination
“Constant Illumination” is used to reduce the intrusivene ss of the device’s
illumination on the observer. Ins te ad of the i ll umina tion turning on and off ev ery
time the device attempts a dec ode ( 2-4 t imes per s econ d), t he illumination stays on
from the time the trigger is pull ed until a decode is succe ssful. Thi s featur e is usef ul
in low light environments , since it will also reduce the dis traction that the
illumination can have on nearb y co- wo rkers.

Click Time (msec)
This parameter controls the max imum gap time (in milli seconds) for a double-click.
If the time between the firs t and second clicks of the scann er t ri gger is within this
time, it is considered a double-c lick. The allowable range is 0 to 1000. A value o f
zero disables this feat ure.
A double-click produces different results depending on whe the r or not a value is
assigned in the “Click Data” para meter. When a value is not assig ned for the “Cl ick
Data”, double-clicking the scanner trigger override s t he ta rget dot delay set in t he

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is t he protocol used t o monitor and

SNMP uses Management Information Bases (MIBs) that def ine the vari abl es an

MIBs that determine how SNMP operates, the type of access allowed and so on.
All Psion Teklogix products support the TEKLOGIX-GENERIC-MIB—a MIB that
defines some common features across Psion Teklogix products.
