User Preferences & Miscellaneous Digital Scanner Options 5 - 33
Decode Session Timeout
Parameter # 136
This parameter sets the maximum time decode processing continues during a scan attempt. It is
programmable in 0.1 second increments from 0.5 to 9.9 seconds. The default timeout is 9.9 seconds.
To set a Decode Session Timeout, scan the bar code below. Next, scan two numeric bar codes from Appendix
D, Numeric Bar Codes that correspond to the desired on time. Enter a leading zero for single digit numbers.
For example, to set a Decode Session Timeout of 0.5 seconds, scan the bar code below, then scan the 0 and
5 bar codes. To correct an error or change the selection, scan Cancel on page D-2.
Timeout Between Decodes, Same Symbol
Parameter # 137
Use this option in presentation mode and Continuous Bar Code Read to prevent the beeper from continuously
beeping when a symbol is left in the digital scanner’s field of view. The bar code must be out of the field of view
for the timeout period before the digital scanner reads the same consecutive symbol. It is programmable in 0.1
second increments from 0.0 to 9.9 seconds. The default interval is 0.5 seconds.
To select the timeout between decodes for the same symbol, scan the bar code below, then scan two numeric
bar codes from Appendix D, Numeric Bar Codes that correspond to the desired interval, in 0.1 second
increments.
Timeout Between Decodes, Different Symbols
Parameter # 144
Use this option in presentation mode and Continuous Bar Code Read to control the time the scanner is inactive
between decoding different symbols. It is programmable in 0.1 second increments from 0.1 to 9.9 seconds.
The default is 0.2 seconds.
To select the timeout between decodes for different symbols, scan the bar code below, then scan two numeric
bar codes from Appendix D, Numeric Bar Codes that correspond to the desired interval, in 0.1 second
