Page 99: Image Capture Illumination
Imaging Preferences 5 - 5 Image Capture Illumination Parameter # F0h 69h Selecting Enable Image Capture Illumination causes illumination to turn on during every image capture. Disable illumination to prevent the digital scanner from using illumination. Enabling illumination usually results in superior images. The effectiveness of illumination decreases as the distance to the target increases.
Page 100: Gain/Exposure Priority For Snapshot Mode
5 - 6 Symbol DS9808 Product Reference Guide Gain/Exposure Priority for Snapshot Mode Parameter # F1h, 32h This parameter alters the digital scanner’s gain exposure priority when it acquires an image in Snapshot Mode in auto exposure mode. • Scan Low Exposure Priority to set a mode in which the digital scanner favors higher gain over exposure to capture an image.
Page 101: Snapshot Mode Timeout
Imaging Preferences 5 - 7 Snapshot Mode Timeout Parameter # F0h, 43h This parameter sets the amount of time the digital scanner remains in Snapshot Mode. The digital scanner exits Snapshot Mode when you pull the trigger, or when the Snapshot Mode Timeout elapses. To set this timeout value, scan the bar code below followed by a bar code from Appendix D, Numeric Bar Codes.

Page 393: Appendix F Signature Capture Code
Appendix F Signature Capture Code Introduction CapCode, a signature capture code, is a special pattern that encloses a signature area on a document and allows a scanner to capture a signature. There are several accepted patterns that allow automatic identification of different signatures on the same form. For example, on the federal tax return 1040 form there are three signature areas, one each for two joint filers, and one for a professional preparer.
Page 394: Capcode Pattern Structure
F - 2 Symbol DS9808 Product Reference Guide CapCode Pattern Structure A CapCode pattern structure consists of a start pattern followed by a separator space, a signature capture box, a second separator space, and then a stop pattern. Assuming that X is the dimension of the thinnest element, the start and stop patterns each contains 9X total width in 4 bars and 3 spaces.

Page 396: Additional Capabilities
F - 4 Symbol DS9808 Product Reference Guide Additional Capabilities Regardless of how the signature is captured, the output signature image is de-skewed and right-side up. A scanner that captures signatures automatically determines whether it is scanning a signature or a bar code.

An interface by means of which one software component communicates with or controls another. Usually used to refer to services provided by one software component to another, usually via software interrupts or function calls Application Programming Interface.
Page 398 Glossary - 2 Symbol DS9808 Product Reference Guide Bit. Binary digit. One bit is the basic unit of binary information. Generally, eight consecutive bits compose one byte of data. The pattern of 0 and 1 values within the byte determines its meaning.
Page 399 Glossary - 3 Code Length. Number of data characters in a bar code between the start and stop characters, not including those characters. Cold Boot. A cold boot restarts the mobile computer and erases all user stored records and entries. COM port.

I/O Ports. interface The connection between two devices, defined by common physical characteristics, signal characteristics, and signal meanings.
Page 402 Glossary - 6 Symbol DS9808 Product Reference Guide MIL. 1 mil = 1 thousandth of an inch. Misread (Misdecode). A condition which occurs when the data output of a reader or interface controller does not agree with the data encoded within a bar code symbol.
Page 403 Glossary - 7 Percent Decode. The average probability that a single scan of a bar code would result in a successful decode. In a well-designed bar code scanning system, that probability should approach near 100%. PING. (Packet Internet Groper) An Internet utility used to determine whether a particular IP address is online. It is used to test and debug a network by sending out a packet and waiting for a response.
Page 404 Glossary - 8 Symbol DS9808 Product Reference Guide Scan Area. Area intended to contain a symbol. Scanner. An electronic device used to scan bar code symbols and produce a digitized pattern that corresponds to the bars and spaces of the symbol. Its three main components are: 1) Light source (laser or photoelectric cell) - illuminates a bar code,;...

Symbol Length. Length of symbol measured from the beginning of the quiet zone (margin) adjacent to the start character to the end of the quiet zone (margin) adjacent to a stop character.
Page 406 Glossary - 10 Symbol DS9808 Product Reference Guide UDP. User Datagram Protocol. A protocol within the IP protocol suite that is used in place of TCP when a reliable delivery is not required. For example, UDP is used for real-time audio and video traffic where lost packets are simply ignored, because there is no time to retransmit.
