LS 5700/LS 5800 Product Reference Guide
• Decode Time-out or “Time-out period between
successive decodes of identical bar codes.” This
time-out minimizes the chances of reading a single
item more than once during a scanning attempt.
Generally speaking, a minimal time-out period is
best in a high throughput environment (e.g. super-
market). A longer time-out period may be preferred
in a lower throughput environment.
• Decode Session Time-out. This parameter applies
to the primary scanner (i.e., LS 5700 or LS 5800),
and refers to the length of time decode processing
continues during a scan attempt.
• Power down or Rest mode. Select how long the
scanner remains on during periods of inactivity. On
the LS 5700, you can also select a Sleep mode.
Decode Options
•
Reject Predecode Block. Added security against
accidental misdecodes caused by an operator
bringing similar but not identical items into the
scanners field of view simultaneously. When enabled,
the scanner rejects a bar code which contains a block
similar to the last decoded bar code.
• Accept Predecode Block. Allows the scanner to
decode any bar code regardless of the item last
decoded.
• Security Levels. Provides increasing levels of
security against misdecoding out of spec bar codes.
Increasing levels of security adversely affect the
aggressiveness of the scanner.
