3.2.2.8 SET 

The 

SET

 command allows the user to set system date-time, select type of bar 

code scanner, assign laser module scanning method, enable double 
verification and specify whether to show power-on logo. Select the 
corresponding number, 1-4, to invoke a function. Pressing the [CMD] and 
then the [Alpha] key returns the portable terminal to the 

User Mode

 menu.

DATE-TIME SETUP
1998/01/01 
08:00:00 

 

By selecting “1.DATE & TIME” in the SET menu, you can set the PT630 date and time. The date 

and time can be used as the time stamp to be appended to an input data record 
by an application program. The second line shows the current system date in 
the format YYYY/MM/DD (year/month/day).  For instance, 1998/01/01 
indicates that date is January 1, 1996. If you want to reset the system date to 
August 31, 1997, then enter [1],[9],[9],[7],[0],[8],[3],[1].  Or press the 

[ENT]

 key to skip the system 

date setting. 
 
The third line shows the current time.  The setting method is similar to setting the date.  The time is 
expressed in the 24-hour system in the format HH:MM:SS (hours:minutes:seconds). 

 
3.2.2.8.2 SCANNER 

 

SCANNER

  The bar code input interface of the PT630 is compatible to all major bar code 

scanners that are available in the market including wand, CCD and laser diode 
scanners. Use the [ ] key to toggle among 

ENABLE

 and 

DISABLE,

 then 

press [ENT]. 

 

LASER TRIG MODE : 

User can select whether pen is activate to read barcode label by one 

trigger/one scan or flash scan.  

 

If it is set 

NORMAL

, laser beam will be emitted to scan barcode and it will stop 

laser beam after successfully scan barcode. User need to release trigger key and 
then press again to scan next label.  

 

If it is set to 

FLASH

, user just press trigger and then release it, then scanner will 

automatically scan barcode. When it successfully read a barcode, scanner will 
continuously emit laser beam to read next label. User can press trigger again to 
stop automatic scanning. 

 

LASER AIM

 When PT630 is equipped with SE1200LR engine, user can use this setting to 

activate aim beam before starting scanning barcode. It will be helpful for user to 
focus target barcode label. Use the [ ] key to toggle among 

ENABLE

 and 

DISABLE,

 then press [ENT]. 

 

VERIFICATION 

When label quality is not good, and then cause error decoding. You can 

enable this function to let PT630 double verification input barcode. When it is 
set 

ENABLE

, PT630 read barcode label twice to compare if it read the same 

data.
