DPM Illumination Control
Parameter # 429 (SSI # F0h ADh)
This parameter controls the Illumination for DPM barcode reading.
Direct Illumination – scanner uses only the direct (white) illumination. Recommended for use with
dot-peened barcodes. Tilt the part 30 degrees.
Indirect Illumination – scanner uses only the (red) illumination. Recommended for use with laser etched
barcodes on curved, rough, grainy, highly reflective, visibly machined surfaces or cylinders.
Cycle Illumination – scanner cycles alternately between direct and indirect illumination. The scanner starts
with the illumination used during the last successful decode.
NOTE This parameter applies to the DS36X8-DP only.
NOTE In Presentation Mode, the DS36X8-DP scanner uses the internal dim illumination state when it enters low
power mode until motion is detected.
