Laser Scanner Options
Special options for your Laser Scanner that can be set from the bar coded
USB Laser Setup Menu
:
Double-Scan Checking
By default, the Laser Scanner keeps reading until it gets two results that are exactly the same. This “double-scan checking”
takes a little longer but minimizes the possibility of misreads - especially when reading poorly printed codes or reading through
windshields. To
disable
“double-scan checking” :
Scan
Start Setup
Scan
Code 39
Scan
F
to disable “double-scan checking”
Scan
End Setup
To enable “double-scan checking” again, scan
E
instead of
F
.
Stand Mode: Scanning the same bar code twice
This will work for the LZ160-USB and the LZ360-USB.
When using the scanner in “Stand Mode”, you can scan the same bar code two times in a row by simple holding the bar code
under the scanner for 3 seconds. To avoid accidental reading of the same bar code twice, you can lengthen the amount of time
the scanner requires to read the bar code again. Setting the time to the maximum (9) should guarantee that you will not
accidently scan the same bar code twice. Alternately, you can shorten the time (the default is 3) to reduce the amount of time
you need to keep the bar code under the scanner.

"Hands-Free" Scanning
A stand is available for the all of the Worth Data Lasers that allows for "hands-free" bar code reading. The stand is available in a
mountable "goose neck" (S11) or in a free-standing version with a base (S21) pictured below. Just before placing the scanner in the
stand, scan the “
Stand On/Off
” bar code on the stand or on the
USB Laser
Setup Menu
to put the scanner into automatic-reading mode.
When using a Laser in "stand" mode, the important thing is to position the
laser correctly in the stand for efficient scanning. You will know the laser is
angled or positioned correctly by observing how often the laser “cycles” off
and on. The LZ160-USB & LZ360-USB will all cycle on a fixed pattern of
flashes regardless of the position of the scanner.
