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.
