Presentation Mode uses ambient light to detect bar codes. The LEDs are off for ambient conditions until a change occurs in the imager’s field of view. Then the LEDS turn on automatically to read the code. If the light level in the room is not high enough, Presentation Mode may not work properly.
Page 37: Hands Free Time-Out
Hands Free Time-Out Reread Delay This 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 40: Output Sequence Overview
Output Sequence Overview Require Output Sequence When turned off, the bar code data will be output to the host as the imager decodes it. When turned on, all output data must conform to an edited sequence or the imager will not transmit the output data to the host device.
Page 41: Output Sequence Editor
When the output sequence is Off , the bar code data is output to the host as the imager decodes it.
Page 42 To program the previous example using specific lengths, you would have to count any programmed prefixes, suffixes, or formatted characters as part of the length. If you use the example on page 3-9, but assume a <CR> suffix and specific code lengths, you would use the following command line:...
Page 43: Multiple Symbols
* Off No Read With No Read turned On , the imager sends an “NR” to the host if you pull and release the trigger without reading a code (e.g., bad bar code). If No Read is turned Off , the “NR” will not be sent to the host.
Page 44: Video Reverse
No Read symbol is 9C. Video Reverse Video Reverse is used to allow the imager to read bar codes that are inverted. The “Off” bar code below is an example of this type of bar code. Note: If additional menuing is required, Video Reverse must be disabled to read the menu bar codes and then re-enabled after menuing is completed.

Page 58: Secondary Trigger Mode
RS-232 programmable selections are used by both the primary and secondary interfaces. Changing an RS-232 parameter (e.g., baud rate or parity), while in primary or secondary mode will affect both interfaces. If you want to change the RS-232 settings, refer to the Connecting the Imager with RS-232 Serial Port section on page 1-6.
Page 59: Hands Free Time-Out
The Automatic Trigger and Presentation Modes are referred to as “hands free” modes. If the imager’s trigger is pulled when using a hands free mode, the imager changes to manual trigger mode. You can set the time the imager should remain in manual trigger mode by setting the Hands Free Time-Out.

Message Length You are able to set the valid reading length of some of the bar code symbologies. If the data length of the scanned bar code doesn’t match the valid reading length, the imager will issue an error beep. You may wish to set the same value for minimum and maximum length to force the imager to read fixed length bar code data.
