Appendix D: Bar Codes Settings
Decoded (Internal) 2D Scanning Options
Ikôn Rugged PDA (Windows Mobile 6.1) User Manual D-5
Scan Angle
This option allows you to choose from two scan angles: Normal Angle or Alternate Angle.
Choosing Normal Angle allows the normal operation for scanning long range and short
range. Choosing Alternate Angle widens the beam to allow scanning of long bar codes at
short range but at the cost of long range scanning.
D.2.3 Decoded (Internal) 2D Scanning Options
Scanning Mode
When you double-tap on this parameter, a dialog box is displayed in which you can choose
one of the following scanning modes: Smart Raster, AlwaysRaster, Programmable Raster,
Slab Pattern, Cyclone Pattern or Semi-Omni Pattern.
Raster Height And Raster Expand Rate
These parameter determine the laser pattern’s height and rate of expansion.
Double-tapping on this parameter displays a dialog box in which you can enter a value from
1 to 15.
D.2.4 Data Options — Decoded (Internal) Scanner
Transmit Code ID Char
A code ID character identifies the scanned bar code type. In addition to any single character
prefix already selected, the code ID character is inserted between the prefix and the decoded
symbol.
When you double-tap on this parameter, a dialog box is displayed in which you can choose a
transmit code: None, AIM or Symbol.
Scan Data Format
This parameter allows you to change the scan data transmission format. Double-tapping on
“Scan Data Format” displays the following options from which you can choose a data
format: data (as-is), data [S1], data [S2], data[S1][S2], [P] data, [P] data [S1], [P] data [S2]
and [P]data [S1][S2].
Note: These parameters are only used when either Programmable Raster or
Always Raster is assigned to the “2D Scanning Mode” parameter. “2DRaster
Height” and “2D Raster Expand Rate” are intended
for very specific applications and are usually not required for normal scanning
purposes.
