F - File Format: Indicates the type of file format in which to save the image.

0F KIM format (default)

1F TIFF binary

2F TIFF binary group 4, compressed

3F TIFF grayscale

4F Uncompressed Binary

5F Uncompressed grayscale

6F JPEG image

7F Outlined image

8F BMP format

H - Height of Signature Capture Area: In the example, the height of the area to be captured is 1 inch, resulting in a value of H = 1/0.01 = 100. The value for H is slightly larger, to accommodate some extra image capture area outside of the signature capture box.

K - Gamma Correction: Gamma measures the brightness of midtone values produced by the image. You can brighten or darken an image using gamma correction. A higher gamma correction yields an overall brighter image. The lower the setting, the darker the image. A setting of 100 results in no adjustment to the image. (Default = 50K)

0K Gamma correction off

50K Apply gamma correction for brightening typical document image

nK Apply gamma correction factor n (n = 1-255)

R - Resolution of Signature Capture Area: The number of pixels that the imager outputs per each minimum bar width. The higher the value for R, the higher the quality of the image, but also the larger the file size. To specify a non-integer value for the resolution, use a number greater than or equal to 1000. For example, use 2500 to specify a resolution of 2.500. The imager automatically inserts a decimal point between the first and second digit. Set to zero when using the A and B modifiers.

S - Bar Code Aspect Ratio: The ratio of the bar code height to the narrow element width. In the example, the narrow element width is .010 inches and the bar code height is 0.400 inches, resulting in a value of S = 0.4/0.01 = 40.

W - Width of Signature Capture Area: In the example, the width of the area to be captured is 1.90 inches, resulting in a value of W = 1.9/0.01 = 190. The value for W is slightly larger, to accommodate some extra image capture area outside of the signature capture box.

X - Horizontal Bar Code Offset: The horizontal ratio offset of the center of the signature capture area, in multiples of the minimum bar width. In the example, the horizontal offset is 0.

Y - Vertical Bar Code Offset: The vertical offset of the center of the signature capture area, in multiples of the minimum bar width. Negative numbers indicate that the signature capture is above the bar code, and positive numbers indicate that the area is below the bar code. In the example, the horizontal offset is 0.70 inches, resulting in a value for Y = 0.7/0.01 = 70.
