Please refer to the table below for matching code Symbology Identifier of codes read in.
Scantech-ID 7.38 PREAMBLES AND POSTAMBLES Preamble 7.38.1 The scanner can be programmed to output Barcode data according the following format: [PREAMBLE STRING] [BAR CODE DATA] Example: To send a <STX> in front of the barcode, scan only programming code <STX>. As a result, the scanner will give the following barcode output: [<STX>] [BAR CODE DATA] Preamble None (*)
Page 116
Postamble 7.38.2 The scanner can be programmed to output Barcode data According to the following format: [BAR CODE DATA] [POSTAMBLE STRING] Example: To send a <ETX> after of the Barcode, scan only programming code <ETX>. As a result, the scanner will give the following barcode data output: [BAR CODE DATA] [<ETX>] Postamble None CR+LF (*)
SCANNING TRIGGERING <Level> A reading session begins (lighting and decode processing on) when beam is activated and stops when beam is deactivated. Continuous Scanning When the scanner is turned on a continuous reading session begins (lighting and decode processing on). Note: The continue scanning mode doesn’t support the V-1020BT.
Page 119
Scantech-ID After a period of inactivity lasting the time specified by the timeout, the scan engine starts flashing, checking for a barcode to be read. When a barcode is detected, the lighting automatically turns on and stays on until another period of inactivity (timeout). After the timeout the scan engine starts flashing again.
Page 120
Autostand This mode allows you to switch from Flashing trigger mode to Level trigger mode. Autostand begins in flashing mode: At power up the lighting and decoding are on (no need to activate the trigger line) and after a period of inactivity lasting the time specified by the trigger timeout, the scanner starts flashing.
GOOD READ MODE When active, the scan engine stops the reading session after a successful decoding. - NOTE: this parameter is NOT used with continuous and continuous + flashing modes. Active (*) Not Active...
