Appendix D Enabling or Disabling

Symbologies

The Cordless Hand Scanner is pre-set to automatically detect and decode (auto-discriminate) the most common bar code symbologies. To enable or disable symbologies, simply use SocketScan’s Symbology Selector.

Notes:

The length of some symbologies will change after Symbology Selector is used. See Table 1.

With more symbologies enabled, the scanner must work harder to search through all the possible combinations. This may make the decoding process slightly longer.

The advanced symbology parameters listed in Table 2 can only be modified by using the SocketScan SDK. Check Socket’s website for updates.
