Deactivation Character

This sets the character used to terminate scanning when using Character Deactivation Mode. On the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), page A-2,find the hex value that represents the character you want to use to terminate scanning. Scan the following bar code, then use the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual to read the alphanumeric combination that represents that ASCII character. Scan Save to finish. Default = 68 [h].

Centering

Use Centering to narrow the scanner’s field of view to make sure that when the scanner is hand-held, it reads only those bar codes intended by the user. For instance, if multiple codes are placed closely together, centering will insure that only the desired codes are read. (Centering can be used in conjunction with Centering, page 3-14,for the most error-free operation in applications where multiple codes are spaced closely together. Using the Aimer Delay and Centering features, the scanner can emulate the operation of older systems, such as linear laser bar code scanners.)

If a bar code is not touched by a predefined window, it will not be decoded or output by the scanner. If centering is turned on by scanning Centering On, the scanner only reads codes that pass through the centering window you specify using the Left and Right of Centering Window bar codes.

In the example below, the white box is the centering window. The centering window has been set to 20% left and 30% right. Since Bar Code 1 passes through the centering window, it will be read. Bar Code 2 does not pass through the centering win- dow, so it will not be read.

Bar Code 1 Bar Code 2

0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100%

Note: A bar code needs only to be touched by the centering window in order to be read. It does not need to pass completely through the centering window.

Scan Centering On, then scan one of the following bar codes to change the left or right of the centering window. Then scan the percent you want to shift the centering window using digits on the inside back cover of this manual. Scan Save. Default Cen-

tering = 40% Left, 60% Right.
