LED – Good Read The LED indicator can be programmed On or Off in response to a good read. Default = On. * LED - Good Read On LED - Good Read Off Number of Beeps – Good Read The number of beeps of a good read can be programmed from 1 - 9. The same number of beeps will be applied to the beeper and LED in response to a good read.
Page 19: Good Read Delay
Good Read Delay This sets the minimum amount of time before the scanner can read another bar code. Default = 0 ms (No Delay). * No Delay Short Delay (500 ms) Medium Delay (1,000 ms) Long Delay (1,500 ms) User-Specified Good Read Delay If you want to set your own length for the good read delay, scan the bar code below, then set the delay (from 0-30,000 milliseconds) by scanning digits from the inside back cover, then scanning Save.
Page 20: Mobile Phone Read Mode
Mobile Phone Read Mode When this mode is selected, your scanner is optimized to read bar codes from mobile phone or other LED displays. However, the speed of scanning printed bar codes may be slightly lower when this mode is enabled. Hand Held Scanning - Mobile Phone Presentation Scanning -...
Page 21: Presentation Mode
Presentation Mode Presentation Mode uses ambient light to detect bar codes. The LED dims until a bar code is presented to the scanner, then the LED brightens to read the code. If the light level in the room is not high enough, Presentation Mode may not work properly.
Page 22: Presentation Centering
Presentation Centering Use Presentation Centering to narrow the scanner’s field of view when it is in the stand to make sure the scanner reads only those bar codes intended by the user. For instance, if multiple codes are placed closely together, Presentation Centering will insure that only the desired codes are read.
Page 23 Scan Presentation Centering On, then scan one of the following bar codes to change the top, bottom, left, or right of the centering window. Then scan the percent you want to shift the centering window using digits on the inside back cover of this manual. Scan Save. Default Presentation Centering = 40% for Top and Left, 60% for Bottom and Right.
Page 24: Reread Delay
Reread Delay This sets the time period before the scanner can read the same bar code a sec- ond time. Setting a reread delay protects against accidental rereads of the same bar code. Longer delays are effective in minimizing accidental rereads. Use shorter delays in applications where repetitive bar code scanning is required.

User-Specified Reread Delay If you want to set your own length for the reread delay, scan the bar code below, then set the delay (from 0-30,000 milliseconds) by scanning digits from the inside back cover, then scanning Save. User-Specified Reread Delay 2-10...
Page 26: Centering
Centering Use Centering to narrow the scanner’s field of view to make sure that when the scanner is hand-held, it reads only those bar codes intended by the user. For instance, if multiple codes are placed closely together, centering will insure that only the desired codes are read.
Page 27: No Read
Scan Centering On, then scan one of the following bar codes to change the top, bottom, left, or right of the centering window. Then scan the percent you want to shift the centering window using digits on the inside back cover of this manual.
Page 28: Video Reverse
Video Reverse Video Reverse is used to allow the scanner to read bar codes that are inverted. The Video Reverse Off bar code below is an example of this type of bar code. Scan Video Reverse Only to read only inverted bar codes. Scan Video Reverse and Standard Bar Codes to read both types of codes.
Page 29: Working Orientation
Working Orientation Some bar codes are direction-sensitive. For example, KIX codes and OCR can misread when scanned sideways or upside down. Use the working orientation settings if your direction-sensitive codes will not usually be presented upright to the scanner. Default = Upright. Upright: Vertical, Top to Bottom: (Rotate CW 90°)
Page 30: Chapter 3 - Data Editing
Data Editing Prefix/Suffix Overview When a bar code is scanned, additional information is sent to the host computer along with the bar code data. This group of bar code data and additional, user-defined data is called a “message string.” The selections in this section are used to build the user-defined data into the message string.
