Scanning mode and some global settings
Scanning mode:
Good-read off -The trigger button must be pressed once to activate scanning. The light source of
scanner stops scanning when there is a successful reading or no code is decoded after the Stand-by
duration elapsed.
Momentary -The trigger button acts as a switch. Press button to activate scanning and release button
to stop scanning. The light source of scanner stops scanning when there is a successful reading or no
code is decoded after the Stand-by duration elapsed.
Continue -The trigger button acts as a toggle switch. Press button to activate or stop scanning.
Same barcode delay time: If a barcode has been scanned and output once successfully, the laser beam
must be off or moved away from the barcode beyond delay time to active scanning the same barcode.
When this feature is set to be “0xFF”, then the delay time is indefinite.
Double confirm: If it is enabled, the scanner will require a several times of same-decoded-data to confirm
a valid reading.
Global Max./Min. code length for 1D symbol: These two lengths are defined as the valid range of
decoded 1D barcode data length. Make sure that the minimum length setting is no greater than the
maximum length setting, or otherwise the labels of the symbol will not be readable. In particular, the
same value can be set for both minimum and maximum reading length to force the fixed length barcode
decoded.
Note1: Please set the max./min. length for individual barcode in later sections, if special demand is
requested.
Note2: The number of check digits is included in max./Min. code length.
Note3: These two settings have no effect on the symbols with fixed-length, e.g. UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN-13,
EAN-8 and China Post.
Global G1-G6 string selection: The scanner offer one or two string group for ALL symbols. By setting
one or two digits to indicate which string group you want to apply. You may refer to
C1-C3 & FN1 substitution string setting
and
7-34 G1-G4 string position & Code ID position
Example: Group 1 → set 01 or 10. Group 2 and 4 → set 24 or 42.
All valid settings include 00, 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26,
30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65 and
66.
Element amendment: If it is enabled, the scanner can read the barcode comprised with bars and spaces
in different scale.
Character output restraint:
Printable character only- If this option is selected, the scanner will output the printable characters only,
i.e. in ASCII from 20H to 7EH.
Alphanumeric character only- If this option is selected, the scanner will output the alphanumeric
characters only, i.e. “A”-“Z”, “a”-“z”, “0”-“9”.
Decoder optimization: If it is enabled, the scanner will optimize the decoder with error correction. This
function is not effective for all types of barcodes.
