Use the Other Dialog to change the Increase GDR and Soft
Accel settings for the library.
The Increase GDR setting indicates how many times the
scanner must read the same barcode label before it can report
a valid barcode number to the library. By default, the scanner
reads a barcode label once when performing an inventory,
which is indicated by an Increase GDR setting of N. To
increase the number of times a scanner reads a barcode label
from one to three times for an inventory, set the Increase GDR
setting to Y.
The Increase GDR setting is ignored in all modules that
contain 3590, 3480, or NCTP media and all libraries that use
the MEDIA ID mode. For libraries that contain AIT, DLT, and
LTO media, the Increase GDR setting can be set to Y. ADIC
recommends setting the Increase GDR to Y if you are using
AIT media in the DEFAULT or EXTENDED mode. For more
information on media modes, refer to Understanding Barcodes
on page 10.
The Soft Accel setting indicates how fast the Cartridge
Accessor accelerates and decelerates when moving along the
X-axis. By default, the Cartridge Accessor accelerates and
decelerates at a slow speed, which is indicated by a Soft Accel
setting of Y.
