Decoding Illumination
Parameter # F0h, 2Ah
Selecting Enable Decoding Illumination causes the digital scanner to flash illumination to aid decoding. Select
Disable Decoding Illumination to prevent the digital scanner from using decoding illumination.
Enabling illumination usually results in superior images. The effectiveness of the illumination decreases as the
distance to the target increases.
Multicode Mode
Parameter # F1h, A5h
Enable this parameter to allow multiple bar codes to decode upon one trigger event based on the programmed
multicode expression. The digital scanner reports a successful decode and provides user indication only if it
decodes all bar codes indicated by the multicode expression, otherwise the decode fails. Bar codes are transmitted
in the order defined in the multicode expression. Disable this to operate in normal decode mode.
When using this mode, disable Continuous Bar Code Read on page 5-18, and always orient the digital scanner at
the same distance and angle (perpendicular).
