Package Detection Support
You can connect your package detection sensor to one of the digital inputs
of your DataMan reader. When the reader receives a signal that a package is
detected, images that the reader collected are not discarded at the end of the
trigger. This way you can make sure that there was a package there, only the
code was not readable. Looking at the No Read images will help you find out
why there was no decode results.
Package detection is only supported with Continuous trigger mode.
To make sure that the No Read images are collected, perform the following:
1. Connect your package detection device to one of the Inputs of your reader.
2. On the Setup Tool’s System Settings pane’s Inputs tab, check
Allow
Buffered No-Read Images
on the input you connected your reader to.
3. On the Setup Tool’s Image Record and Playback pane, change
What
Images to Buffer
to All, or No Read.
• In case of
All
, good reads are also saved together with No Reads.
• In case of
No Read
the image is buffered if the reader fails to read.
