7-4 Scanning mode and some global settings
Scanning mode:
Good-read off -The trigger button must be pressed once to activate scanning. The light source of
terminal stops scanning when there is a successful reading or no code is decoded after the Stand-by
duration elapsed.
Momentary -The trigger button acts as a switch. Press button to activate scanning and release button
to stop scanning. The light source of terminal stops scanning when there is a successful reading or no
code is decoded after the Stand-by duration elapsed.
Continue -The trigger button acts as a toggle switch. Press button to activate or stop scanning.
Same barcode delay time: If a barcode has been scanned and output once successfully, the laser
beam must be off or moved away from the barcode beyond delay time to active scanning the same
barcode. When this feature is set to be “0xFF”, then the delay time is indefinite.
Double confirm: If it is enabled, the terminal will require a several times of same-decoded-data to
confirm a valid reading.
Global Max./Min. code length for 1D symbol: These two lengths are defined as the valid range of
decoded 1D barcode data length. Make sure that the minimum length setting is no greater than the
maximum length setting, or otherwise the labels of the symbol will not be readable. In particular, the
same value can be set for both minimum and maximum reading length to force the fixed length barcode
decoded.
Note1: Please set the max./min. length for individual barcode in later sections, if special demand is
requested.
Note2: The number of check digits is included in max./Min. code length.
Note3: These two settings have no effect on the symbols with fixed-length, e.g. UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN-13,
EAN-8 and China Post.
Global G1-G6 string selection: The terminal offer one or two string group for ALL symbols. By setting
one or two digits to indicate which string group you want to apply. You may refer to 7-33 G1-G6 &
C1-C3 & FN1 substitution string setting and 7-34 G1-G4 string position & Code ID position.
Example: Group 1 → set 01 or 10. Group 2 and 4 → set 24 or 42.
All valid settings include 00, 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26,
30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65 and
66.
Element amendment: If it is enabled, the terminal can read the barcode comprised with bars and
spaces in different scale.
Character output restraint:
Printable character only- If this option is selected, the terminal will output the printable characters
only, i.e. in ASCII from 20H to 7EH.
Alphanumeric character only- If this option is selected, the terminal will output the alphanumeric
characters only, i.e. “A”-“Z”, “a”-“z”, “0”-“9”.
Decoder optimization: If it is enabled, the terminal will optimize the decoder with error correction. This
function is not effective for all types of barcodes.
Data output delay in continue-scan mode: If it is enabled, in the continue-scan mode, the terminal can
store the data while continue-scanning. The terminal will output the data after the predefined delay
elapsed. The maximum storage of data is 1000 characters. If this parameter is set to be “00”, the
terminal will not store data. And if the parameter is set to be “FF”, the terminal will output data after
stopping scanning.
Character encoding system: A character encoding system consists of a code that pairs each character
from a given repertoire. Common examples include Morse code, the Baudot code, the ASCII and
Unicode. If the data received does not display with the proper characters, it may be because the
barcode being scanned was created using a character encoding system that is different from the one the
host program is expecting. Try alternate options to find the proper one.
Decode-data transfer type in USB HID mode:
Serial- In case of the cable type is set as USB HID mode, while the terminal is doing decode-data
transfer to host, other operations are NOT permitted.
Parallel- In case of the cable type is set as USB HID mode, while the terminal is doing decode-data
transfer to host, other operations are permitted.
