PAGE 57
Chapter 1 Understanding the Barcode Scanner 1.9 READ REDUNDANCY FOR ALL SYMBLOGIES 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 "Three Times" is selected, it will take a total of four consecutive successful decoding of the same barcode to make the reading valid.
PAGE 58
1660 Barcode Scanner User Guide 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 (0~30 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.
PAGE 59
Chapter 1 Understanding the Barcode Scanner 1.11 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. You can configure the scanner to be able to read negative barcodes.
PAGE 60
1660 Barcode Scanner User Guide 1.12 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 5 Defining Output Format 5.6 MULTI-BARCODE EDITOR The Multi-Barcode Editor allows you to decide the output sequence of a concatenation of barcodes. Up to five barcodes can be specified. When you enable this mode, it will force the scanner to apply Laser mode as the scan mode. Note: The Multi-Barcode Editor has nothing to do with Multi-Barcode Mode. The barcodes that are found meeting the specified criteria below will be arranged in the desired sequence.
PAGE 178
1660 Barcode Scanner User Guide 5.6.1 EDIT A CONCATENATION OF BARCODES Edit Output Sequence 1) Read the barcode above to start editing a concatenation of barcodes. 2) Code Type setting – read the “Hexadecimal Value” barcode on page 218 for Code Type of the (first) barcode. For example, read “4” and “1” for Code 39.
PAGE 179
Chapter 5 Defining Output Format 5.6.2 ACTIVATE THE CONCATENATION OF BARCODES By default, the output sequence editing of the concatenation of barcodes is not applied. When “Enforce Output Sequence” is enabled, all barcodes read by the scanner must meet with the criteria for the concatenation. If data is found excluded from all output sequence sets (= not meeting with the criteria), the scanner will not accept the reading, and therefore, data will not be transmitted.
PAGE 180
1660 Barcode Scanner User Guide 5.7 REMOVAL OF SPECIAL CHARACTER You can only specify 1 character, but it will remove every matching character encountered from the starting position of barcode data until a different character is met. For example, if it is configured to remove the character “0” (hex value is “30”), one or more zeros will be stripped off the barcode data “012345” and “00012345”. However, for barcode data “010333”, only the first zero will be stripped off.
PAGE 181
Chapter 6 APPLYING FORMATS FOR DATA EDITING The scanner allows advanced data editing by applying user-configured editing formats. The whole processed data can be divided into fields by user-specified rules. These fields together with the user-configurable additional fields consist of the data actually sent to the host computer.
PAGE 182
1660 Barcode Scanner User Guide 6.1 ACTIVATING EDITING FORMATS 6.1.1 ACTIVATE EDITING FORMATS If you have already configured any editing format before, you may directly apply the editing format. If not, you must start with configuring an editing format first, and then, activate the editing format when it is desired in use.
