Programming the Scanner

Advanced Operation Control

This section allows the user to program the following parameters for advance operation control. The definitions of each parameter are described below.

Reread Delay

This feature is designed to inhibit the scanner from reading the same bar code within a certain period of time. The time period can be programmed for immediate, short, medium, or long time out duration. Another selection, Force Verification, does not allow reading of the same bar code twice even after a very long duration. Also note that this feature is not available if you have selected Low Power Mode, Manual Trigger Mode, Level Mode, or Diagnostic Mode.

Pulse Driven Duty

The Pulse Driven Duty is designed to control the flashing frequency of the light source. For example, the 1/2 duty cycle means that the scanner turns on the light source at a time equal to 1/2 the duty cycle. Generally speaking, the higher scan rate will take the higher duty.

Scan Voting

Scan Voting is the number of times the same bar code is decoded before it is transmitted. This feature is useful when the bar codes being read are of poor quality. It should also be noted that this feature is not available if you have selected Low Power Mode, Manual Trigger Mode, Level Mode, or Diagnostic Mode.

Auto Power Off Duration

The Auto Power Off Duration is a pre-defined power off time out counter for Level Mode and Alternative Mode. You can adjust this parameter to meet your own application requirement.
