155 Chapter A A.1.2 Decoder SetupFunction Explaining:Item Function ExplainingNo Read TimeoutMaximum time (in milliseconds) that the imager will attempt to decode before declaring a “No Decode” condition. If attempting to decode using the trigger key, the imager quits decode attempts even if the trigger key remains depressed. You will not be able to start a new decode using the trigger until after the trigger is released. The timeout also applies to the decode operation of the imaging technology. The Timeout range is 0 meaning no timeout (i.e., infinite) to 300,000.Multiple Symbols ModeEnables/Disables multiple symbols decoding. Normally the imager stops attempting to decode when a bar code symbol is decoded. In multiple symbols mode, the imager will not stop until the trigger is released or a “No Decode” timeout occurs. The same bar code will not read again until current decoding stops.

159 Chapter A Function Explaining:Item Function ExplainingFirmware RevisionWhen this item is selected, the imager is queried for the current firmware version information. The version information is then displayed in the text window.Flash New FirmwareThis item allows new engine firmware to be installed into the imager. When Flash New Firmware is selected; you are prompted to select the firmware file. The file, which must have the extension ".bin", must reside on the PDT. The firmware file can be copied to the PDT using Microsoft Explorer as long as the PDT is linked to the PC via Microsoft's Active Sync. The default search location is the My Documents folder. Once you select a file, the file is transferred to the engine. The engine then writes the new firmware into flash memory and re-initializes. The flashing of the firmware and subsequent restart takes approximately 30 seconds. The application insures that the unit will not enter suspend mode during that time.Note: It is very important that the device remains awake during this time. Failure to do so can cause the scan engine to become unusable.

MARS-1030 User Manual 176• U.S. Currency Serial Number (Money)• MICR E-13B•SEMI FontYou can either select an OCR default, or create your own custom tem-plate for the type of OCR format you intend to read. See "OCR Tem-plates" if you want to create a custom “template” or character string that defines the length and content of OCR strings that will be read with your imager.Note: Setting the template and check character options are essential for OCR reading.OCR Off turns off all OCR capability in the scanner, so the scanner will be able to scan linear, stacked, matrix, and composite bar codes, but not OCR fonts. In addition, any OCR templates you have created are erased. The 8 digit default templates are reinstated for any future use of the OCR-A, OCR-B, or U.S. Currency fonts.If you select OCR-A, OCR-B, or U.S. Currency you can scan characters in that font. The default setting allows you to scan any 8 digit combina-tion. If you have created an OCR template, character combinations that fit the template can be scanned (see Creating an OCR Template).OCR DirectionThe OCR Direction setting can be used to prevent misreads of character strings that could be interpreted differently in different orientations when
