Datalogic Scanning 90ACC1780 Power-Off Timeout, Beeper Control for Radio Response, Single Store

5.7.2Power-Off Timeout

If this command is enabled, after the desired timeout in hours, the GRYPHON™ batteries are disconnected and all power consumption ceases. To restore power, press the trigger once. The reader will now be ready to read codes.

Power-off does not effect configuration parameters.

5.7.3Beeper Control for Radio Response

For M-Series readers, the data entry good read tone normally results in two beeps; the first indicates that the reader has decoded the code, the second indicates whether OM-GRYPHON™ has received the data.

This can be changed according to the following selections:

♦Normal: both good decode and good reception are signaled (two beeps).

♦Only Good Decode: only the first beep indicating a good read is signaled.

♦Only Good Reception: only the second beep indicating a good reception is signaled.

♦Off: Neither good read nor good reception beeps are signaled.

For all configurations, any transmission errors will always be signaled.

5.7.4Single Store

When single store mode is enabled, if the GRYPHON™ M fails to transmit a code to the cradle, it enters a special operating mode that prevents the user from reading barcodes. When such operating mode is entered, the trigger no longer enables barcode reading but is used to retry transmission itself for the number of attempts selected in configuration. Once the transmission is successful the reader returns to the standard mode. If transmission is not successful after the number of configured attempts, the code is discarded.

Single store may be useful if you often read codes at the limit of the coverage area and there is a chance that code transmission can fail. In such case single store allows you to move to a more favorable position or location (i.e. closer to the cradle) and retry transmission without the necessity of re-reading the code since it is already stored in the reader.

Conversely, if single store is disabled, and the user wants to retry transmission, the code must be read again, and therefore the attempt must be made from basically the same location. If the user gives up, he does not know if the transaction was successful. (Actually the transmission could have been successful but the cradle may have been unable to acknowledge the message). There are applications in which there is no risk of transmission failure. In such cases it may be better to disable single store so that the user perceives a more consistent behavior of the trigger in that it always corresponds to code reading.
