7.5 Scanning Structured Appended QR (iQR) Code Symbols
QR Code symbology can split data into a maximum of 16 blocks and encode each of them into a Structured Appended
QR Code symbol (model 1 or 2) or Structured Appended iQR Code symbol. Structured Appended Code scanning is
possible only with the same Code model.
The scanner can scan Structured Appended Code symbols and restore them to the original data string in edit mode,
batch edit mode, and non-edit mode, which you can select using the QR-coded parameter menu or configuration
software (Scan Tune App).
Edit mode
The scanner accumulates and edits Structured Appended Code symbols read and then sends the edited data to the host
computer. If the total data volume of Structured Appended Code symbols exceeds 8 kilobytes, a read error will result and the
accumulated data will be discarded.
Batch edit mode (for QR Code Model 1 and Model 2 only)
If all the Structured Appended Code symbol which is split in less than four to be scanned lie within the readable area, the
scanner reads them all once and then edits and sends them to the host computer.
Non-edit mode
Each time a single split Code symbol is read, the scanner sends the data read to the host computer.
When scanning Structured Appended Code symbols, the scanner beeps in a different way from usual. That is, when the
scanner reads the first split code, it beeps twice and enters the Structured Appended Code scanning mode. When the scanner
completes the sequence of scanning, it beeps three times.
Note:
If you scan any non-split QR (iQR) Code symbol or a code other than a QR (iQR) Code symbol midway through a
sequence of Structured Appended Code scanning, the scanner cancels the Structured Appended Code scanning, discards
the Structured Appended Code data already scanned, and sends the code scanned last.
Note:
If the scanner switches to standby in the Auto-off mode (after approximately five seconds of holding down the
trigger switch or by releasing the trigger switch within five seconds) or the Structured Appended Code scanning interval
exceeds approximately three seconds in any trigger switch operating mode except Auto-off mode, then the scanner
discards the data scanned and cancels the Structured Appended Code scanning sequence.
Note:
If you scan a Structured Appended Code symbol of any other Code before completion of the current scanning
sequence, the scanner discards the data already scanned and starts a new scanning sequence.
