Click Data
For both integrated and external scanners, this parameter determines which character is sent to the appli-
cation installed in your EP10 following a double-click. A dialog box appears, asking that you press the key
you want to insert. The ASCII/Unicode key value of the keypress is displayed.
5.11.21.1.2 Display Parameters
Scan Result
When this parameter is enabled, the type of bar code and the result of the scan appear on the screen. Note
that this information is only displayed after a successful decode and is visible only while the scanner button
is pressed. When the button is released, this information is cleared from the screen.
Scan Indicator
When this parameter is enabled, the laser warning logo appears on the display whenever the scanner
is activated.
Scan Result Time (msec)
The value assigned to the “Scan Result Time (sec)” parameter determines how long the scan results of a
successful scan are displayed on the screen. Time is measured in seconds, and a value of “0” (zero) disables
the parameter. When you choose this option, a dialog box appears where you can enter a value.
Good Scan Beep and Bad Scan Beep
These parameters determine whether or not the EP10 emits an audible scanner ‘beep’ when a good (suc-
cessful) scan or a bad (unsuccessful) scan is performed, the number of vibrates, the duration of the vibrate,
and so on. Set these parameters to tailor the behaviour of this parameter.
Multiple Beep Tones
This parameter determines whether or not multiple beeps will be allowed.
Good and Bad Scan Vibrates
These parameters determine whether or not the EP10 will vibrate (rather than beep) when a good (success-
ful) scan or a bad (unsuccessful) scan is performed. Set these parameters to either on to enable the beeper
or off to disable it. You can further refine how you want the vibrations to behave, specifying the following:
Number of Vibrates, Duration of Vibrate (in milliseconds), and Pause between Vibrates (in milliseconds).
Soft Scan Timeout
This parameter is used by the SDK “Scan” function (soft-scan: starting a scan session via the SDK function,
instead of a physical user trigger press). The value assigned to this parameter determines the soft-scan
timeout from 1 to 10 sec. (default is 3 sec.).
Scan Log File
If this parameter is enabled, the input bar code and the modified/translated output bar code are logged in
the file \Flash Disk\ScanLog.txt. Keep in mind that if the “Scan Log File” is enabled, there is a slight per-
formance effect when performing multiple scans since the log file is written to persistent storage.
5.11.21.1.3 Data Handling
This option provides two data handling options: Codepage and Data Transmission.
Codepage:
Tapping on this option displays a window in which you can define the code page your EP10 will use to
display data – Default Local ASCII or ISO-8859-1 Latin 1.
Note: To remove the scan result from the screen before the “Result Time” has expired, point the scanner
away from the bar code and press the trigger.
