Psion Teklogix 8525/8530 Vehicle-Mount Computer User Manual
A ‘plus’ sign (+) to the left of the menu item indicates that a sub-menu of parameters
is attached.
• Tap the stylus on the + sign to display the sub-menu.
• To change a parameter value, double-tap on the parameter. If you need to
type a value, a dialog box is displayed in which you can type a new value.
If you need to change a yes or no value, double-tapping on the parameter
toggles between yes and no.
If you’re using the keyboard:
• Highlight the bar code you want to work with, and press the [RIGHT]
arrow key to display the sub-menu.
• Use the [UP] and [DOWN] arrow keys to highlight a parameter.
• To change a parameter value, press [SPACE] or the [RIGHT] arrow key. If
a field requires text entry, a text box is displayed in which you can enter the
appropriate value.
5.11.2.1 Non-Decoded Options
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.
The allowable values are:
0, 0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5 and 3.0
seconds. A value of 0 (zero) disables the target dot.
Short Code
When enabled (set to ‘ON’), this parameter allows scanning of short I 2 of 5 bar
codes (2 characters). When disabled, these short bar codes are rejected.
Enabling “Short Code” may reduce the robustness of the decoding since the
8525/8530 must decode more potential bar codes; it is therefore not recommended
for general-purpose bar codes with 4 or more characters.
