"Difficult Code 39 Reading": This feature facilitates reading of he VIN
number on automobiles, which is often a difficult-to-read bar code, especially
reading through a windshield. VIN numbers are long, often weathered, often
dirty, and challenging to read.
To enable the more aggressive Code 39 algorithms necessary to read
windshield VINs:
Scan Start Setup
Scan 2 of 5 Code
Scan D for windshield reading
Scan End Setup
To return to the default Code 39 decode algorithms, scan B instead of D.
"Double-scan checking": When reading a VIN, you will also want to disable
double scan checking. The reader’s default is to not output or beep until it has
two successive identical decodes. This is an acceptable safeguard with most
codes, but with VIN numbers read through a windshield, you will have to
deactivate double scan checking to get timely reads.
Scan Start Setup
Scan Code 39
Scan F to disable doubles scans.
Scan End Setup
To enable double scan checking, scan E instead of F.
Don’ forget the common sense things you can do to facilitate reading the VIN:
1) Be sure the window on the laser scanner is clean.
2) Be sure the windshield is wiped before of reading.
