HHP Properties

When the MX7 Tecton is equipped with a Hand Held Products imager, this option is used to configure imager scanning parameters.

Option

Action

 

 

Centering

The centering feature is used to allow the user to accurately scan a selected bar code among a group

 

of bar codes that are located closely together. When centering is turned on, the imager will only de-

 

code bar codes that intersect the centering window defined by the user. The centering window must

 

intersect the center of the bar code.

 

The default centering settings define a 60 pixel square area in the center of the imager's field of view.

 

The default is disabled. When enabled, the following parameters may be entered.

 

Top: Valid:0 – 239, Default:120

 

Bottom: Valid:240 – 479, Default:360

 

Left: Valid:0 – 319, Default:188

 

Right: Valid:320 – 639, Default:564

 

 

Mode

In Standard mode the imager will decode both linear and 2-D symbologies.

 

In Aggressive Linear Decode mode the imager will only read linear symbologies in this mode, but de-

 

coding these is faster and more accurate than Standard Mode.

 

In Quick Omni mode the imager searches for a bar code in a reduced field located around the center

 

of the image. Decoding is faster in this mode, but the user must center the aiming line over the bar

 

code to be read. Both linear and 2-D symbologies can be read in this mode.

 

The default is Standard.

 

 

Range

Set the linear range.

 

Valid:1 – 6

 

Default:3

 

A value of 1 specifies that the linear range that is searched for a readable label is a tight vertical range

 

near the aimer. A value of 6 specifies that the entire height of the image is to be searched.

 

 

AIM

Duration of the imager aim beam in 0.1 second increments.

 

Valid:0 – 50 (0 to 5 seconds)

 

Default:0

 

 

Lights

Specifies if the imager's lights and aimer should be left on during the entire decode process.

 

The default is disabled.

 

If disabled, the lights are turned on only during image capture, then turned off while the imager at-

 

tempts to process and decode the bar code.

 

If enabled, the aimer and lights remain turned on during the entire process.

 

In Aggressive Linear Decode mode, set this parameter to enabled to improve the aimer visibility. See

 

“Mode” above.
