Introduction
Scanning a series of programming bar code labels can
configure the scanner.
The scanner must be properly powered before program-
ming.
During the programming mode, the scanner will ack-
nowledge a good and valid reading with a short beep. It
will give long beeps for either an invalid or bad reading.

  • Page 7: Number Of Beeps - Good Read

    * Normal Beep Number of Beeps – Good Read The number of beeps of a good read can be programmed from 1 – 3 (maximum 3). The same number of beeps will be applied to the beeper and LED in response to a good read. For example, if you program this option to have two beeps, there will be two beeps and two LED flashes in response to a good read.

  • Page 8: Centering

    Centering Use Centering to narrow the imager’s field of view to make sure the imager 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. (Centering can be used in conjunction with Aimer Delay, page 5-11, for the most error-free operation in applications where multiple codes are spaced closely together.

  • Page 9: Decode Search Mode

    Centering On Top of Centering Window Left of Centering Window Decode Search Mode There are three selectable decode (scanning) modes: Full Omnidirectional - Searches for bar code features beginning at the center of an image, and searches to the image’s limits. This mode reads all symbologies , in any orientation. The Full Omnidirectional search is very thorough which may slow performance time.

  • Page 10: Output Sequence Example

    This programming selection allows you to program the Imager to output data (when scanning more than one symbol) in whatever order your application requires, regardless of the order in which the bar codes are scanned. Reading the Default Sequence symbol programs the Imager to the Universal values, shown below.

  • Page 11: Output Sequence Editor

    You would set up the sequence editor with the following command line: SEQBLK62999941FF6A999942FF69999943FF The breakdown of the command line is shown below: SEQBLKsequence editor start command 62 code identifier for Code 39 9999 code length that must match for Code 39, 9999 = all lengths 41 start character match for Code 39, 41h = “A”...

    EXAMPLE: Decode only those bar codes with a count of 9-20 characters. Min. length = 09 Max. length = 20 EXAMPLE: Decode only those bar codes with a count of 15 characters. Min. length = 15 Max. length = 15 For a value other than the minimum and maximum message length defaults, scan the bar codes included in the explanation of the symbology, then scan the digit value of the message length and Save bar codes on the Programming Chart (Appendix E of this manual).

  • Page 16: Codabar Concatenation

    No Check Character indicates that the imager reads and transmits bar code data with or without a check character. When Check Character is set to Validate and Transmit, the imager will only read Codabar bar codes printed with a check character, and will transmit this character at the end of the scanned data. When Check Character is set to Validate, but Don’t Transmit, the unit will only read Codabar bar codes printed with a check character, but will not transmit the check character with the scanned data.
