6.20.1.1 Options — Decoded (Internal) Scanner
Dot Time (msec)
The value selected for “Dot Time (msec)” determines (in milliseconds) how long
the targeting dot remains on before the scanner switches to a normal scan sweep.
When you double-tap on this parameter, a dialog box is displayed in which you can
enter a value of 0 msec, 200 msec or 400 msec. A value of 0 (zero) disables the
target dot.
Laser On Time
The value assigned to this parameter determines how long the laser will remain on
when the scan button or trigger is pressed.
Double-tapping on this parameter displays a dialog box in which you can enter a
value between
5 and 99, each number representing 0.1 seconds.
Low Power Timeout
To extend laser life, you can select the time the scanner remains active following a
successful decode. The scanner wakes from low power mode when a bar code is
scanned–a successful decode restores normal blinking.
When you double-tap on this parameter, a dialog box is displayed in which you can
choose a value of 30 sec, 1 min, 2 min or 3 min.
Parameter Scanning
Setting this parameter to on enables decoding of parameter bar codes.
Linear Security Level
There are four levels of decode security for linear code types (e.g., Code 39, Interleaved
2 of 5). Higher security levels should be selected for decreasing levels of bar code
quality. As security levels increase, the scanner’s aggressiveness decreases. This
parameter allows you to select the security level appropriate for your bar code quality.
Double-tapping on this parameter displays a dialog box in which you can enter a
value from 1 to 4.
