Reading Parameters 

  

  

Scan Speed (Scans per Second) 

This parameter controls the activation/deactivation of the scanner's motor and the selection of the scanner's speed. 

The available selections depend on the scanner model. Use the value best suited for your application. When changing 

the value of this parameter to improve the reading performance on some barcode conditions (i.e. low scan speed for 
high  resolution  codes),  the  new  value  may  have  an  adverse  effect  on  the  reading  performance  of  others  (i.e.  low 

resolution codes). 

  

For automatic setup of this parameter, use the SMART-TEACH AutoSetup function described in the product manual. 

  

Selections: 

(Off)

 

the scanner's motor is stopped. 

  

500 
600 
700 

Low scan speed 
Increased reading capability for high resolution barcodes and long distance reading. 

  

800 

Standard scan speed 
Increased  reading  capability  for  low/medium  resolution  barcodes  and  short  distance 
reading. 

  

900 

1000 

High scan speed 
Increased reading capability for low resolution barcodes and short distance reading. 

  

Energy Saving 

If checked, it enables the Serial Motor On/Off parameters to control the energy saving feature. In particular, it allows 

turning on/off the motor and laser, and if it is MASTER to turn on/off all scanners on the network. 

  

The time required to restart the system is only a few seconds, independently from the number of scanners connected. 

  

It is suggested to use this parameter for example when the it is not necessary to read codes for a lengthy period. 

  

Serial Motor On 

A Serial Motor On string is an ASCII string of up to 32 characters which, when received on the serial interface, starts 

the scanner motor according to the speed selection in the scan speed parameter. If the scanner motor is already 

running this command is ignored. 

  

NOTE

 

The Serial Motor On string must be different from the Serial Motor Off string and the Serial 

Start/Stop Strings. 

When ACK/NAK Protocol and Energy Saving are enabled, the Motor ON/OFF strings cannot contain 

ACK/NAK characters. 

  

  

Serial Motor Off 

A Serial Motor Off string is an ASCII string of up to 32 characters which, when received on the serial interface, stops 

the scanner motor. 

  

NOTE

 

The Serial Motor On string must be different from the Serial Motor Off string and the Serial 

Start/Stop Strings. 

When ACK/NAK Protocol and Energy Saving are enabled, the Motor ON/OFF strings cannot contain 

ACK/NAK characters.
