Decode Options

When enabled, the beeper sounds during scanning. We recommend

that you operate the unit with the beeper enabled. The default is

enabled.

The beeper always operates during parameter menu scanning and

indicates error conditions. See page 3–8 for beeper indications.

Sets the decode beep frequency or tone to low, medium or high. The

default is high.

When enabled, this option allows the scanner to store decoded data

until the host device is ready to receive them. If the scanner reaches

its capacity for storing decoded symbols before the host is ready,

subsequent triggers have no effect until the buffer is available. The

default is disabled.

This parameter inserts a pause after a bar code is scanned to allow

time for the data to be decoded and transferred to the host. You can

set a pause duration in .1 (1/10) second intervals from 0.1 to 9.9

seconds. Pauses are set by scanning a two digit number. The default

is 0.0 seconds.

For example, to set a .5 (1/2) second delay, scan the following labels:

–

Pause Duration

–

0 (under Pause Duration)

–

5 (Under Pause Duration)
