Description

MODE

Sets device power-up detection:

ENABLED

Detection is performed: If found, normal printing and scanning occurs; or, if
not found, a fault will be declared.

DISABLED

No detection is performed and no scanning functions will occur.

AUTO

Detection is attempted: If found, normal printing and scanning occurs; or, if
not found, no fault will be declared and no scanning will occur.

BARCODES

Specifies the bar code type(s) for scanning, where:

CODE 39

IATA

CODABAR

INTERLEAVED 2 OF 5

INDUSTRIAL 2 OF 5

CODE 93

CODE 128

MSI/PLESSEY

EAN(13/8)

EAN(13/8)+2

EAN(13/8)+5

UPC(A/E)

UPC(A/E)+2

UPC(A/E)+5

Is / are the type(s) to be checked; see the Class Series 2 Programmer’s
Manual
for symbology details.

Note: Enabling only the symbologies to be examined maximizes

throughput.

BARCODE COUNT

Sets the number of codes per label to be read.

(0 – 99)

00

The scanner will count the specified number (1 to 99) of bar codes per label;
if all are not present a fault is declared.

The default setting (00) enables Auto Mode; this mode, appropriate for most
applications, calculates the number of bar codes present and permits a
variable number of codes to be read per label. See the note below (and
Label Layout) for possible exceptions.

Note: If sent as bitmaps (i.e., imaged) to the printer, enter the

minimum count to be read on each label. Check with your
software application if questioning bar code generation.

MIN READABLE HEIGHT

Ensures bar code integrity by establishing a minimum vertical read
distance. (The optimum scan rate and consecutive read count for this
distance will be automatically calculated.)

1/16 – ½ in (1.5 – 12.5

mm)

This distance must have identical decodes for the bar code to pass (e.g., a
setting of ¼ requires that .25 inches of the code be 100% readable).

Note: Setting should not exceed 50% of the measured bar code

height.

DISABLED

Operation switches to REDUNDANCY LEVEL.
