Scanner Parameters – General

Aim Duration

Note: For correct operation, reboot the mobile device after changing this value.

When a scanner with an aim mode is triggered either by a Scan button press, or a Start_Decode command, this parameter sets the duration the aiming pattern is seen before a scan attempt begins. It does not apply to the aim signal or the Aim_On command. It is programmable in 0.1 second increments from 0.0 to 9.9 seconds. No aim pattern is visible when the value is 0.0.

To set aim duration, scan the bar code below:

Next scan two numeric bar codes that correspond to the desired aim duration. Times less than 1.0 second must have a leading zero. For example, to set an aim duration of 0.5 seconds, scan the bar code above, then scan the “0” and “5” bar codes on Keypad Number Symbols (page 4-72). If you make an error, or wish to change your selection, scan the Cancel bar code.

Bi-Directional Redundancy

Use this parameter to decide whether a bar code is successfully scanned in both directions before being decoded.

Note: This parameter is only valid when a Linear Code Type Security Level (Redundancy Level) (page 4-15)has been enabled. The default for Security Level parameter is Level 1.

Select an option by scanning either of the bar codes shown below.
