1560 Series Barcode Scanner User Guide try every 5 seconds to re-connect to the host unless you have the scanner read the “Reset Connection” barcode. For BT SPP Slave Mode, the scanner waits for the host to re-connect. With the use of 3656, the scanner tries to re-connect 3656 unless you turn off the scanner. For BT SPP Master Mode, the scanner resumes the connection with the host upon powering on again as long as the host application is running.
PAGE 41
Chapter 1 Understanding the Barcode Scanner 1.2 MEMORY The collected data can be sent back to a host computer one by one via the WPAN connection or stored in flash memory when the scanner is set to Memory mode. 1.2.1 TRANSMIT BUFFER By default, transmit buffer is enabled and for use when the scanner is out of range. Upon reading a barcode successfully within range, the scanner responds with one short beep (high tone) and its LED indicator becomes solid green and goes off quickly.
PAGE 42
1560 Series Barcode Scanner User Guide 1.2.2 MEMORY MODE The scanner keeps 512 KB flash memory for memory mode operation. When the scanner is in memory mode, it means any real-time connection established with the host is disabled. Enable *Disable Warning: No real-time connection is allowed unless the memory mode is disabled. Memory Data Delay You may set a delay between each data record while transmitting data back to the host.

Chapter 1 Understanding the Barcode Scanner 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.
PAGE 52
1560 Series 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.
PAGE 53
Chapter 1 Understanding the Barcode Scanner 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”.
PAGE 54
1560 Series 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.
PAGE 55
Chapter 1 Understanding the Barcode Scanner 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 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. The scanning won't stop until you release the trigger.
PAGE 56
1560 Series 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.

PAGE 58
1560 Series Barcode Scanner User Guide 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. The higher the reading security is (that is, the more redundancy the user selects), the slower the reading speed gets.
PAGE 59
Chapter 1 Understanding the Barcode Scanner 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 60
1560 Series Barcode Scanner User Guide 1.11 AUTO-SENSE MODE (1560 ONLY) This mode is only available when you want to seat the scanner in the Auto-Sense stand. When you enable this mode, it will force the scanner to apply Laser mode as the scan mode. However, it works slightly differently from the original Laser mode. Now the scanner will be expecting barcodes as long as it is seated in the Auto-Sense stand, as shown below. Whenever a barcode is brought within range, the scanner will be able to decode it.
PAGE 61
Chapter 1 Understanding the Barcode Scanner When the ambient light is too dim to activate the sensor, you may have the scanner read the “High Sensitivity” barcode to improve performance. Starting from firmware version 1.23, it will emit scan beam every 300 milliseconds when “High Sensitivity” is enabled. High Sensitivity *Normal Note: If the ambient light is under 100 lux, we suggest that you either add lighting or use Continuous mode instead.
PAGE 62
1560 Series Barcode Scanner User Guide 1.12 CCD SENSOR ALWAYS ACTIVE (1560 ONLY) This feature is used to keep the CCD sensor always active so that the scanner can decode more efficiently. However, you may disable it in order to save battery power. *Enable Disable 1.13 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.
PAGE 63
Chapter 1 Understanding the Barcode Scanner 1.14 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 186
1560 Series 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 228 for Code Type of the (first) barcode. For example, read “4” and “1” for Code 39.
PAGE 187
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 188
1560 Series 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 189
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 190
1560 Series 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.
