Manual Trigger - Normal 4.6.1.1 LED Illumination - Manual Trigger If you wish to set the illumination LED brightness, scan one of the bar codes below.
  • Page 96 MS926 User’s Manual 4.6.2 Serial Trigger Mode You can activate the scan engine by pressing the trigger. When in serial mode, the scan engine scans until a bar code has been read or until the deactivate command is sent. The scan engine can also be set to turn itself off after a specified time has elapsed.
  • Page 97 MS926 User’s Manual 4.6.3.1 Idle Illumination - Presentation Mode Scan one of the bar codes below to set the LED illumination for the scanner when it is in an idle state in Presentation Mode. Default = High. Note: If you use one of the lower Idle Illumination settings, and there is not enough ambient light, the scanner may have difficulty detecting when a bar code is presented to it.
  • Page 98 MS926 User’s Manual 4.6.3.3 Centering Use Centering to narrow the scan engine’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 99 MS926 User’s Manual 4.6.3.4 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 100 MS926 User’s Manual 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.
  • Page 101 MS926 User’s Manual 4.6.4 Poor Quality Codes 4.6.4.1 Poor Quality 1D Codes This setting improves the scanner’s ability to read damaged or badly printed linear bar codes. When Poor Quality 1D Reading On is scanned, poor quality linear bar code reading is improved, but the scanner’s snappiness is decreased, making it less aggressive when reading good quality bar codes.
  • Page 102 MS926 User’s Manual 4.6.5 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. Note: To turn off Mobile Phone Read Mode, scan a Manual or Serial Trigger Mode bar code.
  • Page 103 MS926 User’s Manual 4.6.7 Reread Delay This sets the time period before the scan engine can read the same bar code a second 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.
  • Page 104 MS926 User’s Manual 4.6.9 No Read With No Read turned On, the scan engine notifies you if a code cannot be read. If using an EZConfig-Scanning Tool Scan Data Window, an “NR” appears when a code cannot be read. If No Read is turned Off, the “NR” will not appear. Default = Off.
  • Page 105 MS926 User’s Manual 4.6.10 Video Reverse Video Reverse is used to allow the scan engine 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 106 MS926 User’s Manual 4.6.11 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.
