Alignment mode
Command
’JP’
Description
Activates or deactivates the alignment mode for simple mounting alignment of the
device.
After activating the function with
JP+
, the bar code reader constantly outputs status
information on the serial interface.
With this online command, the bar code reader is set to terminate the decoding after
100 successfully decoded labels and output the status information. Subsequently,
the read process is reactivated automatically.
In addition to the output of the status information, the laser beam is used to display
the reading quality. Depending on how many read results could be extracted, the du-
ration of the laser's "OFF" time increases.
If the reading quality is high, the laser beam flashes in brief, regular intervals. The
worse the decoder decodes, the longer the pauses become during which the laser is
switched off. The flashing intervals become more and more irregular because the
laser may, in total, be active for longer to extract more labels. The duration of the
pauses has been stepped in such a way that they can be distinguished by the eye.
