37 7-3 DPM, Multiple symbols, Structured append, etc. read setting 2D symbols read: A global setting of 2D symbols readability. DPM format read: By setting Enable, the scanner can read 2D symbols in DPM (Direct Park Marking) format. Some barcodes in DPM format are shown below. Multiple symbols & structured append symbols read: 1) By setting Enable, the scanner allows to read multiple symbols with a single pull of the scanner's trigger. If the user pulls and holds the trigger, aiming the scanner at a series of symbols, it reads unique symbols once, beeping for each success read. The scanner attempts to find and decode new symbols as long as the trigger is pulled. 2) By setting Enable, the scanner will output data only when all Structured Append symbols have been decoded. The lower part of below figure shows an example of four Structured Append symbols, with the same data as that in the upper symbol. 3) By setting Disable, the scanner will only read the symbol closest to the aiming beam. Single symbol (above) and Structured Append series of symbols (below) encoding “ABCDEFGHIJKMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ” Vertical centering read: By setting Enable, the scanner reads only the barcode centered by the aimer in

38 vertical direction. However, the scanner will read either one of two barcodes which are positioned horizontally. See example below.

40 Note: The instruction of calibrating the aimer in vertical centering direction. 1. Scan the barcode on this page. The scanner will give three musical short beeps to indicate entering calibration mode. 2. Press the trigger of the scanner while maintaining the distance of about 15cm between the exit window of the scanner and this paper. After a few seconds, the scanner will give three short beeps to indicate a successful calibration, or a long beep to indicate a failed calibration. 3. If the calibration is failed in step 2, please repeat the steps 1-2. If it is not succeed after a multiple times of calibration, please contact your local dealer or the manufacturer for further instruction.

41 7-4 Global settings Scanning mode: Good-read off-The trigger button must be pressed once to activate scanning. The light source of scanner stops scanning when there is a successful reading or no code is decoded after the Stand-by duration elapsed. Momentary-The trigger button acts as a switch. Press button to activate scanning and release button to stop scanning. The light source of scanner stops scanning when there is a successful reading or no code is decoded after the Stand-by duration elapsed. Continue-The scanner always keeps scanning, and it does not matter when the trigger button is pressed or duration is elapsed. Same barcode delay time: If a barcode has been scanned and output once successfully, the laser beam must be off or moved away from the barcode beyond delay time to active scanning the same barcode. When this feature is set to be “0xFF”, then the delay time is indefinite. Double confirm: If it is enabled, the scanner will require a several times of same-decoded-data to confirm a valid reading. Global Max./Min. code length for 1D symbol: These two lengths are defined as the valid range of decoded 1D barcode data length. Make sure that the minimum length setting is no greater than the maximum length setting, or otherwise the labels of the symbol will not be readable. In particular, the same value can be set for both minimum and maximum reading length to force the fixed length barcode decoded. Notes: 1. Please set the max./min. length for individual barcode in later sections, if special demand is requested. 2. The number of check digits is included in max./min. code length. 3. These two settings have no effect on the symbols with fixed-length, e.g. UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN-13, EAN-8 and China Post. Global G1-G6 string selection: The scanner offer one or two string group for ALL symbols. By setting one or two digits to indicate which string group you want to apply. You may refer to the chapters of “String setting” and “String position & Number of truncated leading/ending character”. Example: Group 1 → set 01 or 10. Group 2 and 4 → set 24 or 42. All valid settings include 00, 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65 and 66. Element amendment: If it is enabled, the scanner can read the barcode comprised with bars and spaces in different scale. Character output restraint: Printable character only- If this option is selected, the scanner will output the printable characters only, i.e. in ASCII from 20H to 7EH. Alphanumeric character only- If this option is selected, the scanner will output the alphanumeric characters only, i.e. “A”-“Z”, “a”-“z”, “0”-“9”.

42 Decoder optimization: If it is enabled, the scanner will optimize the decoder with error correction. This function is not effective for all types of barcodes. Data output delay in continue-scan mode: If it is enabled, in the continue-scan mode, the scanner can store the data while continue-scanning. The scanner will output the data after the predefined delay elapsed. The maximum storage of data is 1000 characters. If this parameter is set to be “00”, the scanner will not store data. And if the parameter is set to be “FF”, the scanner will output data after stopping scanning. Character encoding system: A character encoding system consists of a code that pairs each character from a given repertoire. Common examples include Morse code, the Baudot code, the ASCII and Unicode. If the data received does not display with the proper characters, it may be because the barcode being scanned was created using a character encoding system that is different from the one the host program is expecting. Try alternate options to find the proper one. Decode-data transfer type in USB HID mode: Serial- In case of the cable type is set as USB HID mode, while the scanner is doing decode-data transfer to host, other operations are NOT permitted. Parallel- In case of the cable type is set as USB HID mode, while the scanner is doing decode-data transfer to host, other operations are permitted.
