Chapter 1 Understanding the Barcode Scanner 1.9 READ REDUNDANCY FOR ALL SYMBLOGIES Select the level of reading security. For example, If "No Redundancy" is selected, one successful decoding will make the reading valid and induce the "READER Event". If "Three Times" is selected, it will take a total of four consecutive successful decoding of the same barcode to make the reading valid.
Page 58: Addon Security For Upc/Ean Barcodes
1660 Barcode Scanner User Guide 1.10 ADDON SECURITY FOR UPC/EAN BARCODES The scanner is capable of decoding a mix of UPC/EAN barcodes with and without addons. The read redundancy (0~30 times) allows changing the number of times to decode a UPC/EAN barcode before transmission.
Page 59: Negative Barcodes
Chapter 1 Understanding the Barcode Scanner 1.11 NEGATIVE BARCODES Normally, barcodes are printed with the color of the bars darker than that of the spaces. But for negative barcodes, they are printed in the opposite sense just like negative films. The spaces of negative barcodes are printed with a color darker than that of the bars.
Page 60: Effective Decoding Area
1660 Barcode Scanner User Guide 1.12 EFFECTIVE DECODING AREA By default, the effective decoding area is 100% covered by the scanned area. However, you may narrow down the decoding area to prevent reading the wrong barcode when a number of barcodes are printed closely. The scanner will only read barcodes that appear in the effective decoding area.

Page 194: Data Length
1660 Barcode Scanner User Guide 6.3.2 DATA LENGTH The length must include prefix, suffix (0x0d by default), length code, etc. By default, barcodes of any length (character count) are eligible for data editing. You may specify a value from 0 to 254.
Page 195: Matching String & Location
Chapter 6 Applying Formats for Data Editing 6.3.3 MATCHING STRING & LOCATION By default, no matching string is specified, and therefore, it is disabled. You may enable this feature by specifying a matching string; up to four characters are allowed. When the Matching String Location is zero, the scanner will only check for the existence of the matching string in the barcode data.

1660 Barcode Scanner User Guide 6.4 CONFIGURING FORMAT — DEFINE DATA FIELD 6.4.1 START POSITION Data can be divided into fields in one of the following direction – from head (F1) to tail (F5) from tail (F1) to head (F5)
Page 197: Total Number Of Fields
Chapter 6 Applying Formats for Data Editing 6.4.3 TOTAL NUMBER OF FIELDS Data can be divided into at most 6 fields; each of them is numbered from F1 to F6 accordingly. However, only F1~F5 can be configured. The total number of fields must be specified correctly. If three fields are configured for the editing format, the data characters after F3 will be assigned to F4 automatically.
Page 198: Field Settings
1660 Barcode Scanner User Guide 6.4.4 FIELD SETTINGS Data eligible for editing formats is divided into fields by user-specified rules – either using the field terminating string or specified field length. By Terminating String Specify the field terminating string. Up to two characters are allowed. The scanner will search for the occurrence of this particular string in the data.
