3 period ( Scanner Time-Out Duration ) is expired. Unlike the Auto Off mode, the scanner will continue to scan and the scanning period is re-counted each time there is a successful read. • Alternate Mode: The scanner will start scanning once the switch is triggered.

7 3.2 RS232 Interface The user can select the desired, fl ow control, baud rate, parity, and data bits to be used in this output interface. 3.2.1 Baud Rate / Parity / Data Bits The supported baud rate, parity, and data bit are listed below.
9 kind of undesired reading, the Code Length settings can help to insure that the correct code is read by qualifying the allowable code length. Code length parameters can be configured in two ways: Fixed Code Length or Max / Min code length . If the fixed code length is selected, up to 2 fixed lengt hs can be specified.
11 and Max/Min code length . If the fixed code length is selected, up to 2 fixed lengths can be specified. And if max / min code length is selected, the max length and the mi n length must be specified, and the scanner will only accept those codes with lengths fall between max / min length specified.

15 • Code Type : This parameter specifie s the code type of the data eligible for data editing. Multiple code types can be specified for this parameter. • Data Length : This parameter specifies the length (character count) of the data eligible for data editing.
17 Example 2: Extract the date code, item number, and quantity information from barcodes. Data is encoded in t he barcode like this: From the first character to the 6th character is the date code. From the 7th character is the item number, its length is not fixed but is delimited by a ‘-’ character.
19 For these kinds of parameters, the l abel of the parameter to be configured must be read first. Then the labels comprising the numeric value or character string are read. Finally, t he “Validate” label must be read to complete the setting. The scanner will respond with two beeps when the “Validate” label is read.
