1564 Barcode Scanner User Guide 1.5 SEND “NR” TO HOST This feature only works when Keyboard Wedge or RS-232 is selected for output interface. You may have the scanner send the “NR” string to the host to notify the No Read event.
Chapter 1 1.6 SCAN MODES Different scan modes are supported – select the scan mode that best suits the requirements of a specific application. Refer to the comparison table below.
1564 Barcode Scanner User Guide 1.6.1 CONTINUOUS MODE The scanner is always scanning. After a successful decoding, the removal of barcode is required. It is not allowed to proceed to decode until the decoding delay time has passed. To decode the same barcode repeatedly, move away the barcode and put it back again and again for scanning. Note: Refer to “Delay between Re-read”. Continuous Mode Decoding Delay Set the time interval between each decoding. *Disable 0.5 sec 1 sec 2 sec 1.6.
Chapter 1 1.6.3 LASER MODE The scanner will start scanning once the trigger is held down. The scanning won't stop until (1) a barcode is decoded, (2) the pre-set timeout expires, or (3) you release the trigger. Note: Refer to “Scanning Timeout”. *Laser Mode 1.6.4 AUTO OFF MODE The scanner will start scanning once the trigger is pressed. The scanning won't stop until (1) a barcode is decoded, and (2) the pre-set timeout expires. Note: Refer to “Scanning Timeout”. Auto Off Mode 1.6.
1564 Barcode Scanner User Guide 1.6.6 ALTERNATE MODE The scanner will start scanning once the trigger is pressed The scanning won't stop until you press the trigger again. Alternate Mode 1.6.7 AIMING MODE The scanner will aim at a barcode once the trigger is pressed, and start scanning when the trigger is pressed again within one second. The scanning won't stop until (1) a barcode is decoded, and (2) the pre-set timeout expires.
Chapter 1 1.6.8 MULTI-BARCODE MODE The scanner will be scanning as long as the trigger is held down, capable of decoding one single barcode, as well as a multiple unique barcodes one at a time. While decoding a bunch of unique barcodes, if a barcode is decoded twice, its subsequent decoding will be ignored and the scanner is expecting another unique barcode. For 1564 to decode multiple unique barcodes, the maximum output data length of all the barcodes is 10 KB after configuration.
1564 Barcode Scanner User Guide 1.7 SCANNING TIMEOUT Specify the scanning time interval (1~254 sec.; 0= Disable) when the scan mode is set to any of the following – Laser mode Auto Off mode Auto Power Off mode Aiming mode Scanner Time-out after 0~254 sec.

Chapter 1 1.
1564 Barcode Scanner User Guide 1.9 READ REDUNDANCY (1D) Select the level of reading security. For example, If "No Redundancy" is selected, one successful decoding will make the reading valid and induce the "READER Event". If "Two Times" is selected, it will take a total of three consecutive successful decoding of the same barcode to make the reading valid. The higher the reading security is (that is, the more redundancy the user selects), the slower the reading speed gets.
Chapter 1 1.10 ADDON SECURITY FOR UPC/EAN BARCODES The scanner is capable of decoding a mix of UPC/EAN barcodes with and without addons. The read redundancy (2~30 times) allows changing the number of times to decode a UPC/EAN barcode before transmission. The more redundancy you select, the higher the reading security is, and thus, the slower the reading speed becomes. You will have to compromise between reading security and decoding speed.
1564 Barcode Scanner User Guide 1.11 EFFECTIVE DECODING AREA By default, the effective decoding area is 100% covered by the scanned area. However, you may narrow down the decoding area to prevent reading the wrong barcode when a number of barcodes are printed closely. The scanner will only read barcodes that appear in the effective decoding area. Read the barcode “Centering On” and specify the percentage to narrow down the decoding area.
Chapter 1 1.11.
1564 Barcode Scanner User Guide 1.12 NEGATIVE BARCODES Normally, barcodes are printed with the color of the bars darker than that of the spaces. But for negative barcodes, they are printed in the opposite sense just like negative films. The spaces of negative barcodes are printed with a color darker than that of the bars.
Chapter 1 1.13 OPERATION MODE For 1564, it supports different scan modes and signature capture in Decode Mode. Two more operation modes are supported, which are Image Mode and Video Mode. Image capture occurs in all modes of operation, and it requires software applications, such as ScanMaster, to capture and download images to PC for decoding. Please refer to separate manual for OCX programming support.
