Background Color; Autodiscriminate - Microscan MS-3 User Manual

Background Color

Usage: If the background is darker than the symbol, then enable black back-
ground.
Typically the background is white; but on PCBs for example, they can be
black.
Definition: Allows the user to choose which symbol background (spaces and sur-
rounding medium) the scanner can read.
Serial Cmd: <K451,background
Default: White
Options: 0 = White

Autodiscriminate

Although Autodiscriminate is not a configuration command, but it is included here as
a convenient tool for enabling most symbol types.
Usage: Commonly used for quick setup mode to detect symbol type. This is par-
ticularly useful for users who might be unfamiliar with their application's
symbology.
Note: It does not alter individual fields such as Start/Stop, Fixed
Length, etc. These need to be setup individually.
Definition: Enables all available symbology types except PDF417, UCC/EAN 128. The
user may also individually disable/enable each symbology type.
Serial Cmd: <P>
Default: Code 39
Options: <P> Enables all codes except noted above.
<Q> Enable Code 39 only
<R> Enable Codabar only
<S> Enable I 2/5 only
Note: If using an I 2/5 symbol, verify that the number of characters in the symbol
being scanned matches the symbol length enabled for the I 2/5 symbol type (default is
10 and 6).
