Chapter 3 Scanning Scanning Bar Codes For the best scanning performance, the counter top or surface area covered by the active scan area should be free of any designs (e.g. stripes or patterns). Ideally, that area should be a light solid color. To scan a bar code, move an item through the active scan area in the direction of the arrows, with the bar code label facing the scan window (Figure...
The LS 5700 also has a programmable shut down Sleep option that turns off the laser and the motor. The scanner can be awakened from this mode or the Rest mode by momentarily depressing the push button on the top right corner.
Make certain the code type you’re trying to decode is enabled, and that it is supported by your host. • Check the symbol to make sure it is of suitable quality (not damaged). • Try scanning similar symbols of the same code type.
LS 5700/LS 5800 Product Reference Guide Programming You can custom tailor the performance and operation of the scanner with a series of bar codes. Refer to the Default Table beginning on page 5-6 for a list of the factory- programmed defaults. A table of Beeper Definitions applicable to programming is located on page 4-8.
Scanning Setting Parameters If the default values suit your requirements, all you need to do is scan a Host Type. See Table 5-1on page 5-6. Parameters other than default values can be set by scanning appropriate bar codes. Host Types To communicate properly with your host terminal, a Host Type must be selected.
A longer time-out period may be preferred in a lower throughput environment. • Decode Session Time-out. This parameter applies to the primary scanner (i.e., LS 5700 or LS 5800), and refers to the length of time decode processing continues during a scan attempt. •...

“12345,” and right block “67890.” To maximize its aggressiveness, the scanner is capable of decoding a UPC/EAN symbol by “splicing” together a left block read by one of the 20 scan lines, and a right block read by another.
This option provides additional protection (beyond the embedded check digit) against mis-splicing a UPC/EAN block from a symbol that has just been decoded (but has not completely exited the scanner’s field of view), with a block from a new symbol that has just been presented to the scanner.

Page 237
Parameter Menus Decode Options UPC/EAN Security Level Level 1 As bar code quality levels diminish, certain characters become prone to mis-decodes before others (i.e., 1, 2, 7, 8). If you are experiencing mis-decodes of poorly printed bar codes, and the mis-decodes are limited to these characters, select this security level.
Page 238
LS 5700/LS 5800 Product Reference Guide Decode Options UPC/EAN Security Level Level 2 If you are experiencing mis-decodes of poorly printed bar codes, and the mis-decodes are not limited to characters 1, 2, 7, and 8, select this security level.
Page 239
Parameter Menus Decode Options UPC/EAN Security Level Level 3 If you have tried Security Level 2, and are still experiencing misdecodes, select this security level. Be advised, selecting this option is an extreme measure against mis-decoding severely out of spec bar codes. Selection of this level significantly impairs the decoding ability of the scanner.
LS 5700/LS 5800 Product Reference Guide Decode Options Linear UPC/EAN Decode This option applies to code types containing two adjacent blocks (e.g. UPC-A, EAN-8, EAN-13). When enabled, a bar code is transmitted only when both the left and right blocks are successfully decoded within one laser scan.
LS 5700/LS 5800 Product Reference Guide Decode Options Linear Supplemental Decode This option applies to code types containing two or five character supplementals. When enabled, a bar code is transmitted only when both the supplemental block and its adjacent block are successfully decoded within one laser scan.
Decode Redundancy for UPC/EAN (only in Autodiscriminate Mode) With Autodiscriminate UPC/EAN Supplementals selected, this option adjusts the number of times a symbol is decoded before transmission. The range is from two to thirty times. Ten or above is recommended when decoding a mix of UPC/EAN symbols with and without supplementals.
Parameter Menus Decode Options UPC/EAN Decode Performance This option offers three levels of decode performance or “aggressiveness” for UPC/EAN symbols without supplementals. Increasing the performance level reduces the amount of required bar code orientation, which is useful if you are scanning very long and/or truncated bar codes. Increased levels reduce decode security.
Decode Options Linear Code Type Security Level 1 The LS 5700/LS 5800 offers four levels of decode security for linear code types (e.g. Code 39, Interleaved 2 of 5). Higher security levels are selected for decreasing levels of bar code quality. As security levels increase, the scanner’s aggressiveness decreases.
