Aiming Modes; Se955 Ring Scanner; Prefix / Suffix - Honeywell 8650 User Manual

Aiming Modes

There are many aiming "modes" for laser bar code scanners – aiming dots, aiming patterns, aim duration, etc. All aiming
"modes" concern the length of time the beam is sent out, how wide the beam is and what happens when the timer expires. The
terms are used interchangeably and may be confusing for the novice bar code laser scanner user.
Note: Decoding algorithms released by the bar code engine manufacturer often change upon each new release. Programming
parameters that were available at one release may not be available upon a later software release. Honeywell supports
the programming bar codes for the specific engines in this guide only.

SE955 Ring Scanner

The scan engine can have it's aiming beam/aiming dot setup using these bar codes:
• Use Laser On Time
• Aim Duration (page 4-7), and
• Scan Angle (SE955 only)
Aiming Dot Help
How to get an aiming dot when there is no "Aiming Dot" parameter:
Set Aim Duration to .5 seconds and an aiming "dot" is sent while the scan trigger is held down. When the timer expires, the
aiming beam widens and the bar code is read.

Prefix / Suffix

Ring decoder engine prefix and suffix parameters should not be set, changed, or reset using the Prefix and Suffix bar codes
shown in this section. When the Bluetooth Ring Scanner module is reset to defaults, the prefix and suffix settings revert to their
default values and need to be scanned again. Use the ScanWedge / ScanWedge NGW Power Tool (Dolphin 70e) or Data
Collection / Scanner control panel (all others) in the host computer to store prefix and suffix values.
Refer to the host user guide (e.g., Thor VM2) for information and instruction on setting up the following scanner parameters:
• Enable/Disable decoding sounds
• Imager LED Illumination
• COM1 Serial Parameters
• Code ID: AIM, Symbol, Custom
• Symbology Settings including Prefix/Suffix
• Control Character Mapping
• Custom Identifiers
• Pre-Configured Default Values
