Decode Beep Selection
Note: Decode Beep mode is active only when the programming selections Host
ACK (page 3-6) or Data Format Required (page 5-26) are turned on.
When Host Ack Selection is on, the scanner will only beep/blink in response to
the Escape commands generated by the host. If you also want the scanner to
beep when a bar code has been successfully decoded and successfully
communicated to the base, turn the Decode Beep Selection on.
When Data Format Required is on, the scanner will only beep if the input data
conforms to the edited format or triple beep if it does not meet the format
requirements. Should you also want the scanner to beep when a bar code has
been successfully read and sent to the host from the base, turn the Decode Beep
Selection on.

Alternate Data Formats
Alternate formats allow you "single shot" capability to scan one bar code using a
different data format than your primary format. When data formats are
programmed (see page 5-22), you must input whether you are programming the
primary format, or an alternate format numbered 1, 2, or 3.
An alternate format is initiated by scanning one of the 3 alternate format bar
codes below. The scanner will scan the next bar code, formatting the data with
the selected alternate format, then revert immediately to the primary format.
Alternate Data Format 1
Alternate Data Format 2
Alternate Data Format 3
