User's Manual

"Delayed Transmission": is a feature which allows the user to leave the

computer, (perhaps being operated by someone else), go to the location of the

car, scan the VIN with the first trigger pull, return to the computer, be certain

that the screen and cursor are properly positioned, and then pull the trigger

again for transmission. The first trigger pull scans and stores the bar code. The

second trigger pull transmits the data, permitting the user to be sure the cursor

is properly positioned. To change the reader to “Delayed Transmission”:

Scan Start Setup

Scan Terminator

Scan B to select "delayed transmission"

Scan End Setup

To disable "delayed transmission", repeat the above substituting A for B.

"Difficult Code 39 Reading": This feature facilitates reading of he VIN

number on automobiles, which is often a difficult-to-read bar code, especially

reading through a windshield. VIN numbers are long, often weathered, often

dirty, and challenging to read.

To enable the more aggressive Code 39 algorithms necessary to read

windshield VINs:

Scan Start Setup

Scan 2 of 5 Code

Scan D for windshield reading

Scan End Setup

To return to the default Code 39 decode algorithms, scan B instead of D.

"Double-scan checking": When reading a VIN, you will also want to disable

double scan checking. The reader’s default is to not output or beep until it has

two successive identical decodes. This is an acceptable safeguard with most

codes, but with VIN numbers read through a windshield, you will have to

deactivate double scan checking to get timely reads.

Scan Start Setup

Scan Code 39

Scan F to disable doubles scans.

Scan End Setup

To enable double scan checking, scan E instead of F.

Don’ forget the common sense things you can do to facilitate reading the VIN:

1) Be sure the window on the laser scanner is clean.

2) Be sure the windshield is wiped before of reading.
