6 - 30 DS36X8 Digital Scanner Product Reference Guide
Decode Session Timeout
Parameter # 136 (SSI # 88h)
This parameter sets the maximum time decode processing continues during a scan attempt. It is programmable in
0.1 second increments from 0.5 to 9.9 seconds. The default timeout is 9.9 seconds.
To set a Decode Session Timeout, scan the barcode below. Next, scan two numeric barcodes from Appendix H,
Numeric Bar Codes that correspond to the desired on time. Enter a leading zero for single digit numbers. For
example, to set a Decode Session Timeout of 0.5 seconds, scan the barcode below, then scan the 0 and 5
barcodes. To correct an error or change the selection, scan Cancel on page H-2
.
Hands-free Decode Session Timeout
Parameter # 400 (SSI # F0h 90h)
This parameter is the Hands-free compliment to the Decode Session Timeout. It configures the minimum and
maximum decode processing time during a Hands-free scan attempt. It only applies to the Hands-free trigger
mode.
The minimum decode processing time is defined as the time in which the scanner stops decoding when an object
is removed or left stationary in the imaging field of view.
The maximum decode processing time is defined as the time in which the scanner stops decoding when an object
is left in and is moving in the field of view.
Both the maximum and minimum times are configured using a single setting. The relationship of this setting is as
follows:
For example, a setting value of 100 results in the scanner turning off approximately 1 second after an object is
removed from the field of view or 10 seconds while an object is in the field of view moving.
The default value of the setting is 15 which results in a minimum time of 250 msec and maximum time of 1.5
seconds.
Adjust this setting based on your requirements. For example, when doing prioritization, this parameter should be
set to a value where the maximum time is above the PDF prioritization timeout.
