Page 48: Parity
1470/1471 Imager User’s Manual Parity Parity provides a means of checking character bit patterns for validity. The imager can be configured to operate under Mark, Space, Odd, Even, or No (None) parity options. The host terminal must be set up for the same parity as the imager to ensure reliable communication.
Page 49: Baud Rate
Baud Rate You can set the baud rate from 300 bits per second to 115,200 bits per second. Programming the baud rate causes the data to be sent at the specified rate. The host terminal must be set to the same baud rate as the imager to ensure reliable communication.
Page 50: Word Length Data Bits
1470/1471 Imager User’s Manual Baud Rate (continued) 19200 57600 Word Length Data Bits You can set the Word Length to 7 or 8 bits of data per character. If an application requires only ASCII hex characters 0 through 7F decimal (text, digits, and punctuation), select 7 data bits.
Page 51: Word Length Stop Bits
Programming the 147X Word Length Stop Bits Word Length can be set to one or two stop bits. In the Communication tab of Visual Menu, type 1 or 2 in the Stop Bits entry field. Click the Write Settings to Device button ( ) to send the new setting to the imager.
Page 52: Software Flow Control
1470/1471 Imager User’s Manual Or scan one of the following bar codes. The default setting is marked with an asterisk (*). Software Flow Control Software Flow Control allows control of data transmission from the imager using software commands from the host device. When this feature is turned Off, no data flow control is used.
Page 53: Serial Triggering
Serial Triggering Serial triggering provides a means of sending a serial trigger command to start and stop decoding. When this feature is turned Off, the imager will not respond to serial trigger commands. When Serial Triggering is turned On, the imager requires a serial trigger character to activate scanning and decoding.
Page 54: Trigger Timeout
1470/1471 Imager User’s Manual Serial Triggering (continued) Trigger Defaults Note: A one to three digit decimal number and Save are required after reading this programming bar code. See “Decimal to Hex to ASCII Conversion Chart” later in this chapter and the “General Programming Chart” in Appendix B. Trigger Timeout Use this selection to set a timeout (in quarter seconds) of the imager’s trigger.
Page 55: Power Saving Mode
Power Saving Mode Power Saving mode provides control of the imager’s power consumption as follows: • Low Power draws low (50%) LED current during image capture, allowing only one read attempt for each trigger pull. The imager is less tolerant of hand movement during the read attempt and powers down after the image capture is complete.
Page 56: Power Hold Mode
1470/1471 Imager User’s Manual Power Hold Mode Power Hold On keeps the imager in a ready-to-read state. To conserve power, this selection may be turned Off, and the imager will power down if not used within 2 minutes. When you are ready to use the imager again, restore power by pressing the trigger.
Page 57: Led Power Level
Programming the 147X LED Power Level This selection allows you to adjust LED brightness. Off is used when no illumination is needed. Low is used if low illumination is sufficient. High (the default) is the brightest setting. In the Imager tab of Visual Menu, enter a number from 10 (lowest intensity) to 100 (highest intensity) in the Aimer Intensity field.
Page 58: Led Flashing
1470/1471 Imager User’s Manual LED Flashing When LED Flashing is On, the aiming light comes on when the trigger is pressed. The aiming light stays on until a bar code is decoded or until the trigger is released. If LED Flashing is turned Off, the average current draw is increased and the aiming light won’t illuminate while the imager reads a bar code.
Page 59: Aimer Delay
Programming the 147X Aimer Delay Aimer Delay allows a delay time for the operator to aim the imager before the picture is taken. During the delay time, the aiming light will appear, but the LEDs won’t turn on until the delay time is over. In the Imager tab of Visual Menu, enter a number from 0 to 999 in the Aimer Delay (ms) field.
Page 60: Aimer Interval
1470/1471 Imager User’s Manual Aimer Interval Aimer Interval turns off the aiming light or programs the aimer to come on at certain intervals when reading bar codes with the imager. You may program the imager to use the aimer Every Read, Every Second Read, or Every Third Read. You may also program the imager to use the aimer every “x”...
Page 61: Autotrigger
Aimer Interval (continued) Every “X” Reads (see Note) Note: A one to three digit number and Save are required after reading this programming bar code. See the “General Programming Chart” in Appendix B. AutoTrigger Two AutoTrigger Modes are available: Scan Stand and Presentation Mode. When an imager is in Scan Stand mode, the LED shines at the bar code on the base of the stand, which tells it to remain idle.
Page 62: Scan Stand Bar Code
1470/1471 Imager User’s Manual Or scan one of the following bar codes. The default setting is marked with an asterisk (*). Scan Stand Bar Code When an imager is in Scan Stand mode, the LED shines at the Scan Stand bar code, which is on the base of the stand.
Page 63: Scan Stand Lights
Programming the 147X In the Imager tab of Visual Menu, enter a number between 15 (lowest intensity) and 75 (highest intensity) in the Scan Stand LED Intensity field. Click the Write Settings to Device button ( ) to send the new setting to the imager. Or scan the following bar code.
Page 64: Presentation Mode
1470/1471 Imager User’s Manual Presentation Mode Presentation Mode programs the imager to work in Presentation Mode. In the Imager tab of Visual Menu, choose Presentation Mode On. Click the Write Settings to Device button ( Or scan one of the following bar codes. The default setting is marked with an asterisk (*).
Page 65: Presentation Reread Delay
Programming the 147X Presentation Reread Delay Presentation Reread Delay sets the time period before the imager 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 at POS (point of sale).
Page 66: Presentation Lights
1470/1471 Imager User’s Manual Presentation Lights When using the imager in presentation mode, the illuminating LEDs can be programmed on or off. If there is sufficient ambient light, the LEDs can be turned off by scanning the Lights Off bar code below. When a bar code is presented to the imager, the illuminating LEDs turn on to scan the bar code, and then turn off when the bar code has been read.
Page 67: Presentation Default
Presentation Default Defaults all presentation mode settings. The defaults are Presentation Mode Off and Presentation Reread Delay 500 ms (1/2 sec.). In the Imager tab of Visual Menu, click Default under Presentation Mode. Click the Write Settings to Device button ( Or scan the following bar code.

1470/1471 Imager User’s Manual Power Up Beeper In the Output tab of Visual Menu, choose Power Up Beeper. Click the Write Settings to Device button ( Or scan one of the following bar codes. The default setting is marked with an asterisk (*).
Page 71: Output Sequence Beeper
Programming the 147X Output Sequence Beeper If you are using an Output Sequence, you may want to hear a beep after each bar code as it is read. For more information on Output Sequence, see “Output Sequence Overview” later in this chapter. In the Output tab of Visual Menu, choose Output Sequence Beeper.
Page 72: Beep On Decode
1470/1471 Imager User’s Manual Beep On Decode If you want the imager to beep each time it reads a bar code, leave this setting On. If you don’t want it to beep on each read, but do want it to beep for other events (such as error conditions), set this selection to Off.
Page 73: Intercharacter, Interfunction, And Intermessage Delays
Programming the 147X Intercharacter, Interfunction, and Intermessage Delays Some terminals drop information (characters) if data comes through too quickly. Intercharacter, interfunction, and intermessage delays slow the transmission of data, which increases data integrity. Each delay is composed of a 5-millisecond step. You can program up to 99 steps (of 5 ms each).
