Chapter 1 Getting Starte
Barcode Programming
Scanning the Enter Setup barcode can enable the scanner to enter the setup mode. Then you can scan
a number of programming barcodes to configure your engine. To exit the setup mode, scan the Exit
Setup barcode.
If the scanner has exited the setup mode, only some special programming barcodes, such as the Enter
Setup barcode and Restore All Factory Defaults barcode, can be read.
Enter Setup ** Exit Setup
Factory Defaults
Scanning the following barcode can restore the scanner to the factory defaults.
Note: Use this feature with discretion.

Chapter 2 Scan Mode
Batch Mode
This round of multiple scans continues until the active trigger signal is no longer present. Rereading the
same barcode is not allowed if it was decoded previously in the same round. For good read, the engine
transmits decoded data via communication port. To activate another round of multiple scans, the Host
needs to first negate the trigger, waits 20ms or longer and then drive the TRIG pin low.
Batch Mode

Enter Setup
3 ** Exit Setup
Trigger Mode
The session continues until the barcode is decoded or decode session timeout expires or the active
trigger signal is no longer present. For good read, the scanner transmits decoded data via communication
port. To activate another session, the Host needs to first negate the trigger, waits 20ms or longer and then
drive the TRIG pin low.
**Trigger Mode
Decode Session Timeout
This parameter sets the maximum time decode session continues during a scan attempt. It is
programmable in 1ms increments from 100ms to 3,600,000ms. When it is set to 0, the timeout is infinite.
The default setting is 3,000ms. To learn how to program this parameter, see Appendix 4.
Decode Session Timeout

Enter Setup
** Exit Setup 4
Level Trigger/Pulse Trigger
Level trigger: Decode session is activated and continued by constant active trigger signal. The decode
session ends once the barcode is decoded or decode session timeout expires.
Pulse trigger: Decode session is activated by electric pulse of trigger signal. The decode session
continues until the barcode is decoded or decode session timeout expires.
Auto Sleep
Auto Sleep allows the scanner in the Trigger Mode to automatically enter the sleep or low power mode if
no operation or communication is performed for a time period (user programmable). When the scanner is
in the sleep mode, receiving trigger signal can awake the scanner. The scanner returns to full operation
within 100ms.
The parameter below specifies how long the scanner remains idle (no operation or communication occurs)
before it is put into sleep mode. It is programmable in 1ms increments from 0ms to 65,535ms. The default
setting is 500ms. To learn how to program this parameter, see Appendix 4.

Timeout between Decodes (Same Barcode)
Timeout between Decodes (Same Barcode) can avoid undesired rereading of same barcode in a given
period of time.
To enable/disable the Timeout between Decodes (Same Barcode), scan the appropriate barcode below.
Enable Timeout between Decodes (Same Barcode): Do not allow the engine to re-read same barcode
before the timeout between decodes (same barcode) expires.
Disable Timeout between Decodes (Same Barcode): Allow the engine to re-read same barcode.
The following parameter sets the timeout between decodes for same barcode. It is programmable in 1ms
increments from 0ms to 65,535ms. The default setting is 1,500ms.
To learn how to program this parameter, see Appendix 4.

Sense Mode
If the Sense Mode is enabled, the scanner activates a decode session every time it detects a change in
ambient illumination. The decode session continues until the barcode is decoded or the decode session
timeout expires.
Driving the TRIG pin on the host interface connector low can also activate a decode session. The decode
session continues until the active trigger signal is no longer present or the barcode is decoded or the
decode session timeout expires. The trigger signal needs to be negated before the scanner is able to
monitor ambient illumination again.
Sense Mode
Decode Session Timeout
This parameter sets the maximum time decode session continues during a scan attempt. If the timeout
expires or the barcode is decoded, the engine goes back to monitoring ambient illumination. It is
programmable in 1ms increments from 100ms to 3,600,000ms. When it is set to 0, the timeout is infinite.
The default setting is 3,000ms. To learn how to program this parameter, see Appendix 4.

Image Stabilization Timeout
This parameter defines the amount of time that the scanner waits for the image to stabilize to a point that
it can be decoded with more accuracy. It is programmable in 1ms increments from 0ms to 1,600ms. The
default setting is 500ms.To learn how to program this parameter, see Appendix 4.
Timeout between Decodes
This parameter sets the timeout between decode sessions. When a decode session ends, next session
will not happen until the timeout between decodes expires. It is programmable in 1ms increments from 0ms
to 65,535ms. The default setting is 1,000ms. To learn how to program this parameter, see Appendix 4.

Continue after Good Read: The scanner starts next decode session after good read.
Pause after Good Read: The scanner starts another round of illumination monitoring and image
stabilization after good read.

Timeout between Decodes (Same Barcode)
Timeout between Decodes (Same Barcode) can avoid undesired rereading of same barcode in a given
period of time.
To enable/disable the Timeout between Decodes (Same Barcode), scan the appropriate barcode below.
Enable Timeout between Decodes (Same Barcode): Do not allow the scanner to re-read same
barcode before the timeout between decodes (same barcode) expires.
Disable Timeout between Decodes (Same Barcode): Allow the scanner to re-read same barcode.
** Disable Timeout between Decodes (Same Barcode) Enable Timeout between Decodes (Same Barcode)
The following parameter sets the timeout between decodes for same barcode. It is programmable in 1ms

Sensitivity
Sensitivity specifies the degree of acuteness of the scanner response to changes in ambient illumination.
The higher the sensitivity, the lower requirement in illumination change to trigger the scanner. You can
select an appropriate degree of sensitivity that fits the ambient environment.
Medium Sensitivity Low Sensitivity
High Sensitivity Enhanced Sensitivity
If the above four options fail to meet your needs, you may program the threshold value of illumination
change.
Illumination changes that reach or surpass the predefined threshold value will cause the scanner to start
a decode session. The lower the threshold value, the greater the sensitivity of the engine. The default
threshold value is 2.
To learn how to program this parameter, see Appendix 4.
Threshold Value of Illumination Change (1-20)
