This setting prevents the change of the mode of the operation when the operation mode is configured incorrectly. Note: Please refer to the operation manual of THIR-6780 series for quick setting 1 and 2. To set the function button, scan the appropriate symbol below.
3.2 Setting Camera Control Enable/Disable AGC (auto gain control) of the internal-camera. “Enabled AGC”: the camera gain is adjusted automatically whenever scanner reads symbol. “Disabled AGC”: when the “Disable AGC” (below) is scanned, the camera gain is held at just its gain value. To Enable or Disable AGC, scan the appropriate symbol below.
Preset Mode setting The scanner has the function of Preset Mode function that is used for verification of the decoded data. The scanner compares the decoded data with the preset data (Registered data) and will output only if the data is matched regardless of its symbology type. Preset Mode has two modes, Preset Mode 1 and Preset Mode2.
・Preset Mode 2 This mode would registered the preset data by using the barcode menu or serial commands. Both for the perfect matching and partial matching are available on data verification. The preset data can be also stored into the non-volatile memory. To set Preset Mode 2, scan the symbol (Preset data 2 ) below and follow the procedure below.
Setting for Digits To decode symbols with a specific length range for each symbology, this setting must be set through the serial command DIGIT=ab,c-d[CR] below. To enable the partial match verification, transmit the serial command (SET=PRENa ) from the host computer.
Example of Preset data Example 1: Compare with preset "12345" and read data. Result example: 12345 Match 1234 NOT match 012345 NOT match ●Preset data by barcode menu Scan the adequate symbols in following sequence. 1) Scan the “Preset Mode 2” symbol. 2) Scan the “Set preset Data”...
●Preset barcode menu It is not capable to setup only barcode menu. ●Setup by Sending Command Send serial commands to the scanner from host computer as following sequence. 1) PREM=2[CR] 2) SET=PRED??ALFA????[CR] 3) SET=PREN10[CR] 4) WSETS[CR] Transmitting Preset Status Output the current preset setting status. To output the status, read the barcode menu of preset status transmission below.

Output Actual Reading Statistics A statistical report of actual reading quality based on decode time can be output through the serial interface. The report contains minimum, maximum and average times for OK reads and Bad reads, and also the total count of SYNC events, OK reads and Bad reads. The report covers the time period since the last read barcode menu of Clear Decode Time, Output Reads Count, or else since power ON.
・Output Actual Reading Statistics2 The report of an actual reading which is based on the numbers of decodes attempts (shortest / longest / average decoding time and reading time can be output) after the power activation.
