USER’S GUIDE

Triton Wireless Hand-held Terminal

The Trigger options give control over the aiming dot and laser timers, as well as the trigger’s

mode. These options are usually set up to the user’s personal preference and they have no

effect on the actual data that is collected via the scanner.

The Feedback settings allow modification to the audio beeps that sound during bar code

scanning. Changes can be made to the pitch, length, and count of the beeps that sound

when a good and/or bad bar code read is completed.

Symbology control and settings are modified from the Codes section. This section also

contains many subsections, depending on the scan engine that is installed in the Triton. For

laser bar code readers, the menu will contain all symbologies that the scan engine can

decode, and allow for changes to many aspects of the data. With the 2-Dimensional Imager

installed, the symbologies are divided once again into further sections of Linear, Postal, 2-D,

and OCR fonts.

The Editing section give control over customizing the data collected after it has been

scanned. Example options include stripping leading and trailing characters and adding

prefixes and suffixes. Bar code editing can be done on a global scale where all bar codes

are affected, or it can be done on a symbol- ogy type basis. Up to four custom symbology

type edits can be made on the Triton, along with a global edit.

General Setup gives control over global termination characters appended to the bar code

data, along with some scan engine specific settings like LED illumination with the 2-D Imager.

4) Security Options

The Triton allows for two different types of password protection. A power-up (boot) password

requires that the user enter a password to initialize the Triton for use.

The Settings Password, if enabled, requires the user to enter a password to authorize changes

in the settings. It is always a good idea to enable a Settings Password to prevent users from

altering the unit’s settings.
