Quick Install Programming Step 3: Custom programming If your system requirements do not exactly match the default values, turn to Chapter 5 and follow the proce- dure for custom programming the special features which you require. Likewise, if only a few parameters need to be changed for a new application, there is no need to totally reconfigure all of the parameters.
Custom Programming • • • • • • • This chapter includes many features which are available for custom programming the Series CCD scanner to match the specific require- ments of your application environment. You may individually select and program the special features that you desire in the follow- ing way: •...
General Parameters Trigger Switch Mode The Trigger Switch Mode provides four different trigger setting available. NORMAL MODE: The scanner will turn off after a successful reading, you must press the trigger *Normal Mode* switch again for next reading. AUTO SCAN MODE: This is for hand free operation, If you program this mode, the scanner...
General Parameters Inter-Message delay Inter-message delay refers to the time elapsed between when data is read and when it is sent to the host computer. Adjusting the inter- message and inter-character delay may improve data transmission when operating in conjunction with a fast computer or incompatible DOS version.
General Parameters Header and Trailer Any desired header or trailer may be programmed into the CCD scanner. The header/trailer will be automati- cally attached to the start/end of the code transmitted. The maximum length is ten digits. The pre-set default value is for no header nor trailer.
Keyboard Wedge Parameters KEYBOARD WEDGE PARAMETERS In the keyboard wedge mode of operation, the scanner must be configured to match your keyboard emulation and language.

Bar Code Symbologies BAR CODE SYMBOLOGIES Each bar code symbology has its own specifications. Your scanner is able to read numerous symbologies. A variety of programming features allow you to configure the scanner to your specific requirements. Code 39 Symbology Code 39 is the most popular bar code symbology for ID, inventory, and tracking purposes.

The calculation and transmission of the check digit are optional. * Disabled * Calculated and Transmitted Calculated but not Transmitted Code 39 Start/Stop Character This feature enables the transmission of start and stop characters with the bar code data message.
Bar Code Symbologies Interleaved 2 of 5 Symbology Interleaved 2 of 5 is a numeric bar code which has been widely used in the shipping and warehouse industries. The code can be very compact in that both bars and spaces encode information.
Bar Code Symbologies Interleaved 2 of 5 code length While Interleaved 2 of 5 is easily decoded, it is also subject to errors if parameters such as length are not well adjusted. The default code length is fixed at 10 digits. The variable setting allows the code length to vary from 3 to 32 digits (even number only) : •...
