User Preferences & Miscellaneous Digital Scanner Options 4 - 25
Multicode Mode
Parameter # F1h A5h
Enable this parameter to allow multiple bar codes to decode upon one trigger event based on the programmed
multicode expression. The digital scanner reports a successful decode and provides user indication only if it
decodes all bar codes indicated by the multicode expression, otherwise the decode fails. Bar codes are transmitted
in the order defined in the multicode expression. Disable this to operate in normal decode mode.
When using this mode, always orient the digital scanner at the same distance and angle (perpendicular).
Multicode Expression
Parameter # F1h 95h
Use this feature to program a multicode expression for Multicode Mode (grid method). The default is 1, which
indicates any bar code.
To set the multicode expression:
1. Scan the bar code below.
2. Scan bar codes from the alphanumeric keyboard in the Advanced Data Formatting Programmer Guide to
define the expression.
3. Scan the End of Message bar code from the Advanced Data Formatting Programmer Guide.
