Scanning Tips
Optimal scanning distance varies with bar code density and scanner optics.
• Hold the scanner farther away for larger symbols.
• Move the scanner closer for symbols with bars that are close together.
NOTE: Scanning procedures depend on the application and PS20 configuration. An application may use
different scanning procedures from the one listed above.
Decode Screen Notification
Scan Params in DataWedge includes an option for Decode Screen Notification. Enable this option to
display a translucent green screen overlay as a notification for each successful decode. In addition, Scan
Params includes options for Decode Screen Notification Timer and Decode Screen Translucency
Level, which allow you to set the green screen overlay time in milliseconds and the level of translucency.
NOTE: For Decode Screen Notification to work, Display over other apps permission must be granted
for the application.
