Serial Trigger Mode
You can activate the scanner either by pressing the trigger, or using a serial trigger command (see Trigger Commands on page
9-3). When in serial mode, the scanner scans until a bar code has been read or until the deactivate command is sent. The
scanner can also be set to turn itself off after a specified time has elapsed (see Read Time-Out, which follows).
Read Time-Out
Use this selection to set a time-out (in milliseconds) of the scanner’s trigger when using serial commands to trigger the
scanner. Once the scanner has timed out, you can activate the scanner either by pressing the trigger or using a serial trig-
ger command. After scanning the Read Time-Out bar code, set the time-out duration (from 0-300,000 milliseconds) by
scanning digits on the Programming Chart inside the back cover, then scanning Save. Default = 30,000 ms.
Poor Quality Codes
Poor Quality 1D Codes
This setting improves the scanner’s ability to read damaged or badly printed linear bar codes. When Poor Quality 1D
Reading On is scanned, poor quality linear bar code reading is improved, but the scanner’s snappiness is decreased, mak-
ing it less aggressive when reading good quality bar codes. This setting does not affect 2D bar code reading. Default =
Poor Quality 1D Reading Off.
Poor Quality PDF Codes
This setting improves the scanner’s ability to read damaged or badly printed PDF codes by combining information from mul-
tiple images. When Poor Quality PDF On is scanned, poor quality PDF code reading is improved, but the scanner’s snap-
piness is decreased, making it less aggressive when reading good quality bar codes. This setting does not affect 1D bar
code reading. Default = Poor Quality PDF Reading Off.
