2 Output 2.1 Beeper – Good Read The beeper may be programmed On or Off in response to a good read. Turning this option off, only turns off the beeper response to a good read indication. All error and menu beeps are still audible. Default = On. 2.2 Beeper Volume – Good Read The beeper volume codes modify the volum

* Normal Beep Short Beep 2.5 Number of Beeps – Good Read The number of beeps of a good read can be programmed from 1 – 3 (maximum 3). The same number of beeps will be applied to the beeper and LED in response to a good read. For example, if you program this option to have two beeps, there will be two beeps and two LED flashes in response to a good read. The beeps and LED flashes are in sync with one another. To change the number of beeps, scan the bar code below and then scan a digit (1

2.8 Centering Use Centering to narrow the imager’s field of view to make sure the imager reads only those bar codes intended by the user. For instance, if multiple codes are placed closely together, centering will insure that only the desired codes are read. (Centering can be used in conjunction with Aimer Delay, page 5-11, for the most error-free operation in applications where multiple codes are spaced closely together. Using the Aimer Delay and Centering features, the imager can emulate

This mode reads all symbologies , in any orientation. The Full Omnidirectional search is very thorough which may slow performance time. Note: This search mod

This programming selection allows you to program the Imager to output data (when scanning more than one symbol) in whatever order your application requires, regardless of the order in which the bar codes are scanned. Reading the Default Sequence symbol programs the Imager to the Universal values, shown below. These are the defaults. Be certain you want to delete or clear all formats before you read the Default Sequence symbol. Note: To make Output Sequence Editor selections, you’ll need to

2.12 No Read With No Read turned On, the Imager notifies you if a code cannot be read. If using a Quick*View Scan Data Window, an “NR” appears when a code cannot be read. If No Read is turned Off, the “NR” will not appear. On * Off If you want a different notation than “NR,” for example, “Error,” or “Bad Code,” you can edit the output message using the Data Formatter. The hex code for the No Read symbol is 9C. 2.13 Print Weight Print Weight is used to adjust the way the imager

No Check Character indicates that the imager reads and transmits bar code data with or without a check character. When Check Character is set to Validate and Transmit, the imager will only read Codabar bar codes printed with a check character, and will transmit this character at the end of the scanned data. When Check Character is set to Validate, but Don’t Transmit, the unit will only read Codabar bar codes printed with a check character, but will not transmit the check character with the
