Laser Options

Several options are applicable to all laser and CCD Scanners that are used with the RF Terminal. These options are: 1) Longer timeout on the laser reading, and 2) Double decode required.

Longer Laser Reading: A temporary solution to problem bar codes is sometimes to increase the length of the time the scanner attempts to read, from the default 2-second beam to a 4-second beam. To select the 4- second beam:

Scan Start Setup

Scan Laser Options

Scan 3 to select the 4-second beam

Scan End Setup

To return to the default 2-second beam, scan 2.

Double Decode: The default setting for the RF Terminal is one successful decode results in a “good read”. If you are getting incorrect reads, (due to defective bar codes), a temporary solution is to turn on make the RF Terminal perform two straight identical decodes before beeping, outputting data, and completing a “good read” read.

To activate the double decode:

Scan Start Setup

Scan Laser Options

Scan 1 to select double decode

Scan End Setup

To return to the single decode beam, scan 0.

There are two Setup Options that do not apply to the LZ300. The two options are:

1.Aiming Laser Dot” for a predetermined time before the laser beam expands into a “line” for reading. The RF terminal requires a no charge feature to be added to it before shipping for the Aiming Dot to be used. This feature applies to the LT70x models of the RF Terminal with its built-in laser and the external tethered LZ400 Laser Scanner.

2.Difficult Code 39 Reading” for reading Vehicle Identification Numbers (VIN) through the automobile windshield. This applies only to the external tethered LZ400 Laser Scanner.

Aiming the Laser Dot:

Sometimes it is difficult to see the laser beam and know you are on the bar code, especially if you are attempting to read outdoors in direct
