Laser Options
Several options are applicable to all laser and CCD Scanners that are
used with the RF Terminal. These options are: 1) Longer timeout on
the laser reading, and 2) Double decode required.
Longer Laser Reading: A temporary solution to problem bar codes is
sometimes to increase the length of the time the scanner attempts to read,
from the default 2-second beam to a 4-second beam. To select the 4-
second beam:
Scan
Start Setup
Scan
Laser Options
Scan
3 to select the 4-second beam
Scan
End Setup
To return to the default 2-second beam, scan 2.
Double Decode: The default setting for the RF Terminal is one
successful decode results in a “good read”. If you are getting incorrect
reads, (due to defective bar codes), a temporary solution is to turn on
make the RF Terminal perform two straight identical decodes before
beeping, outputting data, and completing a “good read” read.
To activate the double decode:
Scan
Start Setup
Scan
Laser Options
Scan
1 to select double decode
Scan
End Setup
To return to the single decode beam, scan 0.
There are two
Setup Options that do not apply to the LZ300. The two
options are:
1. “
Aiming Laser Dot” for a predetermined time before the laser
beam expands into a “line” for reading. The RF terminal
requires a no charge feature to be added to it before shipping
for the Aiming Dot to be used. This feature applies to the
LT70x models of the RF Terminal with its built-in laser and
the external tethered LZ400 Laser Scanner.
2. “
Difficult Code 39 Reading” for reading Vehicle
Identification Numbers (VIN) through the automobile
windshield. This applies only to the external tethered LZ400
Laser Scanner.
Aiming the Laser Dot:
Sometimes it is difficult to see the laser beam and know you are on the
bar code, especially if you are attempting to read outdoors in direct
