Command
’JP’
Description
This command is used for simplified mounting and alignment of the BCL 8
in static installation situations. After activating the function with ’JP+’, the
scanner continuously supplies status information to the serial interfaces.
With this online command, the scanner is set to terminate the decoding
after 100 successfully decoded labels and output the status information.
Subsequently, the read process is reactivated automatically.
As status, the output returns the following values:
• scans which contain the valid label information on the basis of
100 scans,
• the decoding result.
These values can be used to determine the decoding quality.
In addition to the output of the status information, the laser beam is used
to display the reading quality. Depending on how many labels were able
be extracted, the duration of the laser's "off" time increases.
If the reading quality is high, the laser beam flashes in brief, regular inter
-
vals. The worse the decoder decodes, the longer the pauses become dur
-
ing which the laser is switched off.
Parameter
’+’:
Starts the alignment mode.
’-’:
Ends the alignment mode.
