Page 84: Serial Trigger Modes
Serial Trigger Modes Manual/Serial Trigger, Low Power You can activate the image scanner either by pressing the trigger, or using a serial trigger command (see Trigger Commands on page 12-4). When in manual trigger mode, the image scanner scans until a barcode is read, or until the trigger is released.
Page 85 If there are no trigger pulls during the timer interval, the image scanner goes into power down mode. Whenever the trigger is enabled, the timer is reset. If the image scanner is placed in the 2020 cradle and the battery is in the process of being charged, the image scanner will not go into power down mode.
Page 86: Scan Stand Mode
Scan Stand Mode When a unit is in Scan Stand mode, it remains idle as long as it sees the Scan Stand symbol, below. When a different code is presented, the image scanner is triggered to read the new code. Note: The image scanner automatically adjusts the illumination LEDs to the lowest light level possible to maintain a good lock on the Scan Stand symbol.
Page 87: Presentation Mode
Presentation Mode Scanning the barcode below programs the image scanner to work in Presentation Mode. Presentation Mode uses ambient light to detect barcodes. The LEDs are off until a barcode is presented to the image scanner, 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 88: Presentation Sensitivity
Presentation Sensitivity Presentation Sensitivity is a numeric range that increases or decreases the image scanner's reaction time to barcode presentation. To set the sensitivity, scan the Sensitivity barcode, then scan the degree of sensitivity (from 0-20) from the inside back cover, and Save. 0 is the most sensitive setting, and 20 is the least sensitive.
Page 89: Image Snap And Ship
Image Snap and Ship Image Snap and Ship tells the imager to take a picture (rather than read a barcode) when the trigger is pressed. Once the picture is snapped, it is shipped to the host system as a jpeg file by default. To revert to barcode reading, you must change to a different trigger mode (see Serial Trigger Modes beginning on...

Page 91: Illumination Lights
If you have an aimer delay programmed (see Aimer Delay on page 4-12), the aimer will be at 100% power during the delay, regardless of the LED Power Level. Note: If you scan the Off barcode, both the aimer and illumination lights turn off, making it impossible to scan barcodes in low light.
Page 92: Aimer Delay
Aimer Delay The aimer delay allows a delay time for the operator to aim the image scanner before the picture is taken. Use these codes to set the time between when the trigger is pulled and when 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.
Page 93: Centering
Centering Use Centering to narrow the image scanner’s field of view to make sure the image scanner reads only those barcodes intended by the user. For instance, if multiple codes are placed closely together, centering will insure that only the desired codes are read.
Page 94: Decode Search Mode
Scan Centering On, then scan one of the following barcodes to change the top, bottom, left, or right of the centering window. Then scan the percent you want to shift the centering window using digits on the inside back cover of this manual.
Page 95: Preferred Symbology
Quick Omnidirectional - This is an abbreviated search for barcode features around the center region of an image. This mode quickly reads all symbologies in any orientation. The Quick Omnidirectional mode may miss some off-center symbols, as well as larger Data Matrix and QR Code symbols. Quick Omnidirectional Preferred Symbology Note: This selection does not apply to OCR.
Page 96 High Priority Symbology To specify the high priority symbology, scan the High Priority Symbology bar code below.

Page 105: Chapter 5 - Data Editing
Data Editing Prefix/Suffix Overview When a barcode is scanned, additional information is sent to the host computer along with the barcode data. This group of barcode data and additional, user-defined data is called a “message string.” The selections in this section are used to build the user-defined data into the message string.

which you want to apply the prefix or suffix. For example, for Code 128, Code ID is “j” and Hex ID is “6A”. Step 3. Scan the 2 hex digits from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual or scan 9, 9 for all symbologies. Step 4.
Page 107: To Add A Carriage Return Suffix To All Symbologies
Step 1. Scan the Clear One Prefix or Clear One Suffix symbol. Step 2. Determine the 2 digit Hex value from the Symbology Chart (included in Symbology Chart, beginning on page A-1) for the symbology from which you want to clear the prefix or suffix. Step 3.

Page 109: Intercharacter, Interfunction, And Intermessage Delays
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, increasing data integrity. Each delay is composed of a 5 millisecond step. You can program up to 99 steps (of 5 ms each) for a range of 0-495 ms.
Page 110: Interfunction Delay
Next, scan the Character to Trigger Delay barcode, then the 2-digit hex value for the ASCII character that will trigger the delay Code Page Mapping of Printed Barcodes on page A-7. Delay Length Character to Trigger Delay To remove this delay, scan the Delay Length barcode, and set the number of steps to 0.

Page 113: Chapter 6 - Data Formatting
Data Formatting Data Format Editor Introduction You may use the Data Format Editor to change the image scanner’s output. For example, you can use the Data Format Editor to insert characters at certain points in barcode data as it is scanned. The selections in the following pages are used only if you wish to alter the output.
Page 114: Other Programming Selections
Step 4. Code I.D. In the Symbology Chart, beginning on page A-1, find the symbology to which you want to apply the data format. Locate the Hex value for that symbology and scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual.

Page 169: Chapter 8 - Imaging Commands
Imaging Commands The image scanner is like a digital camera in the way it captures, manipulates, and transfers images. The following commands allow you to alter the way the imager performs these functions. Single-Use Basis Imaging Commands with their modifiers send instructions to the imager on a single-use basis, and take effect for a single image capture.
Page 170: Image Snap - Imgsnp
Step 1 - Take a Picture Using IMGSNP Image Snap - IMGSNP An image is taken whenever the hardware button is pressed, or when the Image Snap (IMGSNP) command is processed. The image snap command has many different modifiers that can be used to change the look of the image in memory.
Page 171 L - LED State Determines if the LEDs should be on or off, and when. Ambient illumination (0L) is preferred for taking pictures of color documents, such as ID cards, especially when the imager is in a stand. LED illumination (1L) is preferred when the imager is handheld.
Page 172 G - Gain Gain is used in Manual Style only (2P). Like a volume control, the gain modifier boosts the signal and multiplies the pixel value. As you increase the gain, the noise in an image is also amplified. No gain (default) Medium gain Heavy gain Maximum gain...
Page 173: Image Ship - Imgshp
% - Target Set Point Percentage Sets the target point for the light and dark values in the captured image. A setting of 75% means 75% of the pixels are at or below the target white value, and 25% of the pixels are above the target white value. Altering this setting from the default is not recommended under normal circumstances.
Page 174: Imgshp Modifiers
IMGSHP Modifiers A - Infinity Filter Enhances pictures taken from very long distances (greater than 10 feet or 3m). The Infinity Filter should not be used with IMGSHP Modifiers (page 8-6).

Page 181 S - Pixel Ship Pixel Ship sizes an image in proportion to its original size. It decimates the image by shipping only certain, regularly spaced pixels. For example, 4S would transmit every fourth pixel from every fourth line. The smaller number of pixels shipped, the smaller the image, however, after a certain point the image becomes unusable.
Page 182 This filter typically provides better JPEG compression than the standard E - Edge Sharpen command (see page 8-15). This filter also works well when shipping pure black and white images (1 bit per pixel). The optimal setting is 26U. Document image filter off (default) 26U Apply document image filter for typical document image Apply document image filter using grayscale threshold n.
Page 183: Image Size Compatibility
W - Histogram Ship A histogram gives a quick picture of the tonal range of an image, or key type. A low-key image has detail concentrated in the shadows; a high-key image has detail concentrated in the highlights; and an average-key image has detail concentrated in the midtones.

Page 185: Imgbox Modifiers
IMGBOX Modifiers A - Output Image Width This option is used to size the image horizontally. If using this option, set the resolution (R) to zero. Example of Image Width set to 200A: Example of Image Width set to 600A: B - Output Image Height This option is used to size the image vertically.
Page 186 F - File Format This option indicates the type of file format in which to save the image. KIM format TIFF binary TIFF binary group 4, compressed TIFF grayscale Uncompressed Binary Uncompressed grayscale JPEG image (default) Outlined image BMP format H - Height of Signature Capture Area The height of the signature capture area must be measured in inches divided by .01.
Page 187 R - Resolution of Signature Capture Area The resolution is the number of pixels that the imager outputs per each minimum bar width. The higher the value for R, the higher the quality of the image, but also the larger the file size. Values begin at 1000. The imager automatically inserts a decimal point between the first and second digit.
Page 188: Rf Default Imaging Device
X - Horizontal Barcode Offset The horizontal barcode offset allows you to offset the horizontal center of the signature capture area. Positive values move the horizontal center to the right and negative values to the left. Measurements are in multiples of the minimum bar width.
Page 189: Chapter 9 - Ocr Programming
OCR Programming Use this section to program the image scanner for optical character recognition (OCR). The image scanner reads 6 to 60 point OCR typeface. Note: OCR is not as secure as barcodes. To enhance security in OCR applications, create an OCR template to match the data and print an OCR check character.
Page 190: U.s. Currency Font
OCR-B On allows you to scan characters in the OCR-B font. The default set- ting allows you to scan any eight digit combination. If you have created an OCR template, character combinations that fit the template can be scanned (see Creating an OCR Template, page 9-3).
Page 191: Semi Font
SEMI Font SEMI Font On allows you to scan the SEMI font used in the semiconductor industry. SEMI Font On All OCR Off turns off all OCR capability in the image scanner, so the image scanner will be able to scan linear, stacked, matrix, and composite barcodes, but not OCR fonts.
Page 192: Template Characters
Template Characters represents any alphanumeric character (digit or letter) represents a check character position represents any digit represents any available OCR character represents character from user-defined variable “g” represents character from user-defined variable “h” represents character from user-defined variable “g” or “h” represents that a check character is verified but transmitted represents any uppercase letter marks the start of a new template...
Page 193: Stringing Together Multiple Formats (Creating "Or" Statements)
Character Match Sequences This method is used if you need a template that shows a specific character in a specific position. Put the character in uppercase in the template at the required position (template characters are always lower case). Example: You need to read three variable digits, three specific characters (ABC), followed by three variable digits.
Page 194: Ocr User-Defined Variables
To create this template, you would enable the OCR-A font. Scan the Enter OCR Template symbol (page 9-13). Scan the d from the OCR Programming Chart in the back of this manual eight times, then scan the t to create the “or” statement.
Page 195: Reading Multi-Row Ocr
Reading Multi-Row OCR The image scanner is capable of decoding multi-row OCR text. Note: Reading rows longer than sixteen characters is not recommended. Consider the following example. This example shows serial commands as they would be entered using QuickView. Example: You need to read multiple rows of OCR-A data as shown below: 12345678 ABCDEFGH First, enable the OCR-A font.

character. The image scanner transmits the OCR data without the check char- acter data. You must specify the location of the check character in the template with a c. Example: You need to read any combination of seven digits, with a modulo 10 check character in the eighth position.
Page 197 for the calculation. By default, the check character computation is unweighted, but the image scanner also supports two weighted modulo 10 checking schemes. Example: To program a modulo 11 check character, you would enter the following 11 characters in order: 0123456789X Also enter the OCR template: dddddddc...
Page 198: Weighting Options
Weighting Options By default, the check character computation is unweighted. It is possible to use one of two weighted modulo 10 schemes. Weighting is often used to detect if two neighboring characters are transposed, a common error when an operator keys in data.
