AutoLearn Function
Once entered, the reader starts a procedure to automatically detect and recognize barcodes
(by type and length), which are presented to it
1
. The laser turns on and the LEARN LED
blinks to indicate the ongoing process.
The procedure is as follows:
- place the desired barcode on the scanline.
- wait until the LEARN LED stays steady on (indicating the reader has detected the
barcode).
- repeat , if needed, the above two steps to program up to 10 different barcodes (the LEARN
LED returns to the blinking state for the next code). If more than one barcode is detected
in the scan line,
the Multi Label mode is enabled (refer to the “
5K Family Software
Configuration Parameter Guide
” Help file).
- exit the process by pressing the X-PRESS push button once.
The scanner will restart at the end of the process, and then the detected barcodes are
automatically configured in scanner memory.
AutoSetup Function
Once entered, if a barcode label is positioned in front of the scanline, the scanner
automatically performs the optimal setup of the reading parameters for that specific barcode.
The procedure is as follows:
-
place the desired barcode on the scanline.
-
enter the AutoSetup function (the laser turns on and the SETUP LED blinks to indicate
the ongoing process).
-
wait until the SETUP LED stays steady on (indicating the reader has detected the
barcode).
This procedure ends either when the barcode is successfully decoded or after a timeout of
about 7 (seven) seconds.
The scanner will restart at the end of the process, and then the optimized reading
parameters for that barcode are automatically configured in scanner memory.
NOTE:
The AutoSetup function does not modify the programmed barcode
symbologies. If needed, the AutoLearn function can be performed after
Autosetup.
