Page 31: Aiming
6. Hold the trigger until the digital scanner beeps, indicating the bar code is successfully decoded. For more information on beeper and LED definitions, see This process usually occurs instantaneously. Steps 2 - 4 are repeated on poor quality or difficult bar codes, until the bar code is decoded, the trigger is released, or the Decode Session Timeout is reached.
Page 32: Scanning In Hands-Free Mode
DS 3408 Product Reference Guide Scanning in Hands-Free Mode The optional Intellistand adds greater flexibility to scanning operation. When the digital scanner is seated in the stand’s “cup,” the digital scanner’s built-in sensor places the digital scanner in hands-free mode. When the digital scanner is removed from the stand it operates in its normal hand-held mode.

Introduction This chapter describes how to set up the digital scanner with an RS-232 host. The RS-232 interface is used to connect the digital scanner to point-of-sale devices, host computers, or other devices with an available RS-232 port (e.g., com port). If the host is not listed in Table 7-2, refer to the documentation for the host device to set communication parameters to match the host.

Scanner Emulation Host Parameters Beep Style The Scanner Emulation host supports three beep styles. • Beep On Successful Transmit: The digital scanner beeps when the attached decoder issues the decode signal to the digital scanner, so the digital scanner and the attached decoder beep at the same time.
Page 149: Parameter Pass-Through
Parameter Pass-Through The Scanner Emulation host can process parameter bar code messages and send them to the attached decoder. In this way, customers using Symbol compliant decoders can control the behavior of the entire system by scanning the necessary parameters only once. For example, to enable D 2 of 5, scan the D 2 of 5 Enable parameter bar code.

Page 220: Intercharacter Gap Size
13-62 DS 3408 Product Reference Guide Intercharacter Gap Size Parameter # F0h, 7Dh The Code 39 and Codabar symbologies have an intercharacter gap that is typically quite small. Due to various bar code-printing technologies, this gap can grow larger than the maximum size allowed, preventing the digital scanner from decoding the symbol. If this problem occurs, scan the Large Intercharacter Gaps parameter to tolerate these out-of-specification bar codes.

Macro PDF Features Macro PDF is a special feature for concatenating multiple PDF symbols into one file. The digital scanner can decode symbols that are encoded with this feature, and can store more than 64 kb of decoded data stored in up to 50 MacroPDF symbols. When printing, keep each Macro PDF sequence separate, as each sequence has unique identifiers.

Page 235: Chapter 15. Advanced Data Formatting
Introduction Advanced Data Formatting (ADF) is a means of customizing data before transmission to the host device. Scan data can be edited to suit particular requirements. ADF can be implemented through scanning a related series of bar codes, which begin on page 15-8, or by installing the 123Scan utility (see Chapter 12, 123 Scan) which allows the digital scanner to be setup and programmed with Advanced Data Formatting (ADF) Rules.

When scanning a bar code of length 15, send the next 2 characters, send the class key, send the next 8 characters, send the stock key, send the data that remains, send the Enter key.
Page 239: Default Rules
Advanced Data Formatting 15-7 These rules reside in the same “rule list” as ADF Rules, so the order of their creation is also important. Default Rules Every unit has a default rule to send all scan data. Units with custom software may have one or more default rules burned in. The rules hierarchy checks user programmable rules first, then the default rules.
