YMBOLOGIES
The Cordless Ring Scanner is pre-set to automatically detect and decode (auto-
discriminate) the most common bar code symbologies. To enable or disable
symbologies, simply use the SocketScan Symbology Selector.
Notes:
•
The length of some symbologies will change after Symbology Selector is used.
See Table 1.
•
With more symbologies enabled, the scanner must work harder to search through
all the possible combinations. This may make the decoding process slightly
longer.
•
The advanced symbology parameters listed in Table 2 can only be modified by
using the SocketScan Advanced Programming Guide or the SocketScan SDK.
Check the Socket Mobile website for updates.
