L-2
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

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

To return to the single decode beam, scan

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
