Worth Data P11/12 Laser scanner options, Start Setup, Code, End Setup, Computer Interface

Laser scanner options:

"Double-scan checking": To minimize the possibility of misreads with very poorly printed bar codes or when reading through windshields, you have the option of forcing the WDP to keep reading until it gets two results that are exactly the same. This "double scan checking" takes a little longer, but it will eliminate misreads. To activate double scan checking:

Scan	Start Setup
Scan	Code 39
Scan	E to enable double scan checking.
Scan	End Setup

To disable double scan checking, scan F instead of E.

4-second beam: Another option with problem reading conditions is to increase the length of the time the scanner attempts to read, from the default 2-second beam to a 4-second beam. This would be very helpful using long range scanners which needs additional aiming or scanning time. To select the 4-second beam:

Scan	Start Setup
Scan	2 of 5
Scan	F to select the 4-second beam
Scan	End Setup

To return to the default 2-second beam, scan E instead of F.

Continuous Scanning Option for the CCD scanner: Sometimes it is desirable to read sheets or lists of bar codes without having to activate the trigger before each read. To activate the CCD continuous scanning:

Scan	Start Setup
Scan	Computer Interface
Scan	B to select continuous scanning
Scan	End Setup

To disable continuous scanning, repeat the above, substituting C for B.

To use continuous scanning with a laser scanner, scan D; however, you will have to hold down the trigger while scanning. In either case, if you want to read the same bar code twice in succession, you will need to release the trigger and pull it again.

Small quiet zones: Although we recommend quiet zones (white space on either side of a bar code) of at least 0.25", this option lets the laser and CCD scanners read bar codes with less than 0.2" quiet zones, the only drawback being an extremely small increase in the possibility of substitution errors.

Scan	Start Setup
Scan	Computer Interface
Scan	F to select small quiet zones
Scan	End Setup

To return to normal quiet zones, repeat the above, substituting E for F.
