Use the Other Dialog to change the Increase GDR and Soft 
Accel settings for the library.
The Increase GDR setting indicates how many times the 
scanner must read the same barcode label before it can report 
a valid barcode number to the library. By default, the scanner 
reads a barcode label once when performing an inventory, 
which is indicated by an Increase GDR setting of N. To 
increase the number of times a scanner reads a barcode label 
from one to three times for an inventory, set the Increase GDR 
setting to Y.
The Increase GDR setting is ignored in all modules that 
contain 3590, 3480, or NCTP media and all libraries that use 
the MEDIA ID mode. For libraries that contain AIT, DLT, and 
LTO media, the Increase GDR setting can be set to Y. ADIC 
recommends setting the Increase GDR to Y if you are using 
AIT media in the DEFAULT or EXTENDED mode. For more 
information on media modes, refer to Understanding Barcodes 
on page 10. 
The Soft Accel setting indicates how fast the Cartridge 
Accessor accelerates and decelerates when moving along the 
X-axis. By default, the Cartridge Accessor accelerates and 
decelerates at a slow speed, which is indicated by a Soft Accel 
setting of Y.
