  • Page 10: Chapter 1 Getting Started

    This guide provides programming instructions for the RT350H. Users can configure the RT350H by scanning the programming barcodes included in this manual. The RT350H has been properly configured for most applications and can be put into use without further configuration. Users may check the Factors Defaults Table in Appendix for reference. Throughout the manual, asterisks (**) indicate factory default values.

  • Page 11: Factory Defaults

    number of programming barcodes to configure your scanner. To exit the setup mode, scan the Exit Setup barcode. If the scanner has exited the setup mode, only some special programming barcodes, such as the Enter Setup barcode and Restore All Factors Defaults barcode, can be read. Enter Setup ** Exit Setup Programming barcode data can be transmitted to the Host.

  • Page 12: Custom Defaults

    Restore All Factors Defaults Custom Defaults Custom defaults make it possible to save the frequently-used settings on the scanner. Scanning the Save as Custom Defaults barcode can save the current settings as custom defaults. Once custom default settings are stored, they can be recovered at any time by scanning the Restore All Custom Defaults barcode.

  • Page 27: Chapter 3 Scan Mode

    Chapter 3 Scan Mode Trigger Mode If the Trigger Mode is enabled, driving the TRIG pin on the host interface connector low activates a decode session. The session continues until the barcode is decoded or decode session timeout expires or the active trigger signal is no longer present.

  • Page 28: Level Trigger/Pulse Trigger

    Level Trigger/Pulse Trigger Level trigger: Decode session is activated and continued by constant active trigger signal. The decode session ends once the barcode is decoded or decode session timeout expires. Pulse trigger: Decode session is activated by electric pulse of trigger signal. The decode session continues until the barcode is decoded or decode session timeout expires.

  • Page 29: Timeout Between Decodes (Same Barcode)

    Timeout between Decodes (Same Barcode) Timeout between Decodes (Same Barcode) can avoid undesired rereading of same barcode in a given period of time. To enable/disable the Timeout between Decodes (Same Barcode), scan the appropriate barcode below. Enable Timeout between Decodes: Do not allow the scanner to re-read same barcode before the timeout between decodes (same barcode) expires.

  • Page 30: Sense Mode

    Sense Mode If the Sense Mode is enabled, the scanner activates a decode session every time it detects a change in ambient illumination. The decode session continues until the barcode is decoded or the decode session timeout expires. Driving the TRIG pin on the host interface connector low can also activate a decode session. The decode session continues until the active trigger signal is no longer present or the barcode is decoded or the decode session timeout expires.

  • Page 33: Sensitivity

    The following parameter sets the timeout between decodes for same barcode. It is programmable in 1ms increments from 0ms to 65,535ms. The default setting is 1,500ms. To learn how to program this parameter, see Appendix 5. Timeout between Decodes (Same Barcode) Sensitivits Sensitivity specifies the degree of acuteness of the scanner’s response to changes in ambient illumination.
  • Page 34 If the above four options fail to meet your needs, you may program the threshold value of illumination change. Illumination changes that reaches or surpasses the predefined threshold value will cause the scanner to start a decode session. The lower the threshold value, the greater the sensitivity of the scanner. The default threshold value is 2.

  • Page 35: Continuous Mode

    Continuous Mode This mode enables the scanner to scan/capture, decode and transmit over and over again. When the scanner is operating in Continuous Mode, barcode reading can be suspended/resumed through control over the trigger signal. When barcode reading is in progress, negating the trigger signal after having maintained it for 30ms or longer will suspend barcode reading;...

  • Page 38: Specify Central Area

    Specifs Central Area The default central area is a (Width*20%) by (Height*20%) area in the center of the scanner’s field of view, as shown in the figure below. You can define the central area by scanning the Specifs Central Area barcode and numeric barcode(s) corresponding to a desired percentage (1-100).

  • Page 39: Chapter 5 Illumination & Aiming

    Chapter 5 Illumination & Aiming Illumination A couple of illumination options are provided to improve the lighting conditions during every image capture: Normal: Illumination LEDs are turned on during image capture. Alwass ON: Illumination LEDs keep ON after the scanner is powered on. OFF: Illumination LEDs are OFF all the time.

  • Page 40: Aiming

    Aiming When scanning/capturing image, the scanner projects an aiming pattern which allows positioning the target barcode within its field of view and thus makes decoding easier. Normal: The scanner projects an aiming pattern only during barcode scanning/capture. Alwass ON: Aiming pattern is constantly ON after the scanner is powered on. OFF: Aiming pattern is OFF all the time.
