C.1.2 Decoded (Internal) – Advanced Options
Scan Mode
When you double-tap on this parameter, a dialog box is displayed in which you can choose a
scanning mode: Scan beam only, Aim with Scan: 1 trigger pull, Aim with Scan: 2
trigger pulls, Aim with Scan on trigger release, and Continuous Scan Mode.
Aim Duration
This parameter determines the total time the aiming pattern appears before the scanner laser
begins sweeping. When you double-tap on this parameter, a dialog box is displayed in which
you can enter a value from 0 to 30 (0 to 3 sec.). A value of 0 (zero) disables the aiming dot.
Minimum Cancel Time
The value assigned to this parameter determines the time delay before the scanner is turned
off, once the scanner trigger or button is released. This gives the scanner a minimum amount
of time to complete its current decode before the scan is cancelled when the user quickly
triggers on/off.
Power Mode
This parameter is a power-saving option. Tapping on it displays a screen listing two power
mode options: Continuous Power and Low Power.
In Continuous Power mode, the scanner is always on, waiting for a trigger pull or a serial
communication.
In Low Power mode, the scanner is in a standby state, drawing minimal power until a
trigger pull or serial communication wakes it. Keep in mind that while this option is more
suitable for battery powered applications, there will be a slight delay while the scanner
powers up to scan a bar code.
Low Power Timeout
To extend laser life, you can select the time the scanner remains active following a success-
ful decode. The scanner wakes from low power mode when a bar code is scanned – a
successful decode restores normal blinking.
This is only used if the unit's Trigger Mode has been changed to Continuous On and the unit
is in a fixed mount; otherwise, this parameter is not used.
When you double-tap on this parameter, a dialog box is displayed in which you can choose a
value of 30 sec., 1 min., 2 min., or 3 min.
