  • Page 31: Communication Settings

    Communication Settings <Default All RS-232 Communication Settings> Parity Parity provides a means of checking character bit patterns for validity. The Imager can be configured to operate under Mark, Space, Odd, Even, or No (None) parity options. The host terminal must be set up for the same parity as the Imager, to ensure reliable communication.
  • Page 32: Baud Rate

    Baud Rate This sets the baud rate from 300 bits per second to 115,200 bits per second (see next page). Programming baud rate causes the data to be sent at the specified rate. The host terminal must be set to the same baud rate as the Imager to ensure reliable communication.
  • Page 33: Word Length Data Bits

    Baud Rate, continued 57600 115200 Word Length Data Bits You can set the Word Length at 7 or 8 bits of data per character. If an application requires only ASCII Hex characters 0 through 7F decimal (text, digits, and punctuation), select 7 data bits. For applications requiring use of the full ASCII set, select 8 data bits per character.
  • Page 34: Hardware Flow Control

    Hardware Flow Control When hardware flow control is on, the software checks for a CTS signal before sending data. This option is useful when your application supports the CTS signal. * Off Software Flow Control This allows control of data transmission from the Imager using software commands from the host device.
  • Page 35: Serial Triggering

    Serial Triggering This provides a means of sending a serial trigger command to start and stop decoding. When this feature is turned off, the Imager will not respond to serial trigger commands. When serial triggering is turned on, the Imager requires a serial trigger character to activate scanning and decoding.
  • Page 36: Power Saving Mode

    Power Saving Mode This provides control of the Imager’s power consumption, as follows: Low Power draws low LED current during image capture, allowing one read attempt only for each trigger pull. The Imager is less tolerant of hand movement during the read attempt, and powers down after the image capture is complete. Medium Power draws a normal LED current during image capture which enhances motion tolerance.
  • Page 37: Led Power Level

    LED Power Level This selection allows you to adjust LED brightness. Off is used when no illumination is needed. Low is used if low illumination is sufficient. High (the default) is the brightest setting. * High LED Flashing If LED Flashing is turned off, the average current draw is increased and the aiming light won’t illuminate while the scanner reads a bar code.
  • Page 38: Aimer Delay

    Aimer Delay The aimer delay allows a delay time for the operator to aim the scanner before the picture is taken. Use these codes to set the time between when the trigger is pulled and when the picture is taken. During the delay time, the aiming light will appear, but the LEDs won’t turn on until the delay time is over.
  • Page 39: Aimer Interval

    Aimer Interval Aimer Interval turns off the aiming light, or programs the aimer to come on at certain intervals when reading symbols with the scanner. You may program the scanner to use the aimer Every Read, Every Second Read, or Every Third Read. You may also program the scanner to use the aimer every “x”...
  • Page 40: Autotrigger

    AutoTrigger Two AutoTrigger Modes are available: Scan Stand and Presentation Mode. When a unit is in Scan Stand mode, the LED shines at the symbol on the base of the stand which tells it to remain idle. When a different code is presented, the Imager is triggered to read the new code.
  • Page 41: Scan Stand Lights

    Scan Stand Lights You can turn off the scanner light when the imager is in idle mode in a scan stand. * On Presentation Mode This programs the scanner to work in Presentation Mode. Default = Off. * Off Presentation Reread Delay This sets the time period before the scanner can read the same bar code a second time.
  • Page 42: Presentation Aimer

    Presentation Aimer You can turn on or off the scanner’s aiming light when the device is not reading a bar code. * On Zoom Use Zoom to zoom in and read smaller matrix codes. The zoom selection does not affect reading of linear bar codes. The factory default setting is Off. (High Density scanners are programmed with the zoom turned on when shipped from the factory.
  • Page 43: Zoom Placement

    Zoom Placement This lets you position the read area (crosshairs) of the Imager when it is in zoom mode. The Zoom Vertical moves the crosshairs vertically, and the Zoom Horizontal move them horizontally, as illustrated below: Note: When zoom is turned on, the field of view of the Imager is reduced, making it more difficult for the Imager to read large matrix symbols.
  • Page 44: Beeper Volume

    Beeper Volume * High Medium Power Up Beeper * On Output Sequence Beeper If you are using an Output Sequence (see "Output Sequence Overview" on page 2-41), you may want to hear a beep after each bar code as it is read. Scan Output Sequence Beeper On to enable this feature, or Off to disable it.
  • Page 45: Beep On Decode

    Beep On Decode If you want the scanner to beep each time it reads a bar code, leave this setting On. If you don’t want it to beep on each read, but do want it to beep for other events, set this selection to Off. * On Beeper Default Defaults all beeper settings.
  • Page 46: And Intermessage Delays

    Intercharacter, Interfunction, and Intermessage Delays Some terminals drop information (characters) if data comes through too quickly. Intercharacter, interfunction, and intermessage delays slow the transmission of data, which increases data integrity. Each delay is composed of a 5 millisecond step. You can program up to 99 steps (of 5 ms each).
  • Page 47: Interfunction Delay

    Interfunction Delay This is a delay of up to 495 milliseconds (in multiples of 5) placed between the transmission of each segment of the message string. You can program up to 99 steps (of 5 ms each). Scan the Interfunction Delay bar code below, then scan the number of steps, and the SAVE bar code from the inside back cover.
