HHP Properties

When the MX9 is equipped with a Hand Held Products imager, this option is used to configure imager 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 decode 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

 

decoding 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.
