Cancel Note: Make sure you use the correct method to program your scanner. The CSE-600 can only be programmed with serial commands. The SE-955 can be programmed with either serial commands or bar codes.
  • Page 86 This chapter provides the programmable parameters, programming barcodes, and serial commands for the Socket barcodes scanners equipped with the Intermec EA15 barcode scanning engine. Please refer to the tables in Chapter 1 to determine which scanning engine your product uses, and which parameters/symbologies it supports.

    Setting Up the EA15 You can set up your EA15 using one of these two methods: • Send software commands from your host system using the Intermec Scanner Control Protocol (ISCP). For help, see the ISCP Technical Reference Manual available (limited access) from the Intermec web site at www.intermec.com or through your Intermec representative.

    EAN 128 1234567 Optimizing Reading Performance You can optimize the reading performance of your EA15 by adjusting certain imager parameters. This section describes how to set these parameters to achieve the best reading performance possible considering the environment, application, and type of bar codes: •...
  • Page 95 Extended Reading Range The extended reading range option is supported by certain symbologies and allows you to read bar codes from up to a distance of 90 cm (35 in) with your EA15. If your application decodes linear bar codes and you want the fastest possible decode rate, you should disable Extended Reading Range.
