Introduction
This booklet describes the programmable parameters, and provides bar codes for programming the SpeechMike
Barcode.
Operational Parameters
The SpeechMike Barcode is shipped with the factory default settings shown in Table 1. These factory default
values are stored in non-volatile memory and are preserved even when the scanner is powered down.
To change the parameter values:
Scan the appropriate bar codes included in this chapter. The new values replace the existing memory values. The
factory default values can be recalled by scanning the RESTORE DEFAULTS bar code on page 7.
Table 1 lists the factory defaults for all parameters. To change any option, scan the appropriate bar code(s).

The SpeechMike Barcode can be reset to the factory defaults. Scan the bar code below to reset the SpeechMike
Barcode to its default settings.

Beeper Tone
To select a decode beep frequency (tone), scan the appropriate bar code.
Low Frequency
*Medium Frequency
High Frequency
Beeper Frequency Adjustment
This parameter adjusts the frequency of the high beeper tone from the nominal 2500 Hz to another frequency matching
the resonances of the installation. It is programmable in
10 Hz increments from 1220 Hz to 3770 Hz.
To increase the frequency, scan the bar code below, then scan three numeric bar codes beginning on page 51 that
correspond to the desired frequency adjustment divided by 10. For example, to set the frequency to 3000 Hz (an
increase of 500 Hz), scan numeric bar codes 0, 5, 0, corresponding to 50, or (500/10).
To decrease the frequency, scan the bar code below, then scan three numeric bar codes beginning on page 51 that
correspond to the value (256 - desired adjustment/10). For example, to set the frequency to 2000 Hz (a decrease of 500
Hz), scan numeric bar codes 2, 0, 6, corresponding to 206, or (256 - 500/10).
To change the selection or cancel an incorrect entry, scan the Cancel bar code on page 51.

Beep After Good Decode
Scan this symbol to set the scanner to beep after a good decode.
*Beep After Good Decode
Scan this symbol to set the scanner not to beep after a good decode. The beeper still operates during parameter
menu scanning and indicates error conditions.
Do Not Beep After Good Decode
Transmit “No Read” Message
Enable this option to transmit “NR” if a symbol does not decode during the timeout period or before the trigger is
released. Any enabled prefix or suffixes are appended around this message.
Enable No Read
When disabled, and a symbol cannot be decoded, no message is sent to the host.
*Disable No Read

Parameter Scanning
To disable decoding of parameter bar codes, scan the bar code below. The Set Defaults parameter bar code can
still be decoded. To enable decoding of parameter bar codes, scan *Enable Parameter Scanning or Set Factory
Defaults..
*Enable Parameter Scanning
Disable Parameter Scanning
Linear Code Type Security Level
The SpeechMike Barcode offers four levels of decode security for linear code types (e.g. Code 39, Interleaved 2 of
5). Select higher security levels for decreasing levels of bar code quality. As security levels increase, the scanner’s
aggressiveness decreases.
Select the security level appropriate for your bar code quality.
Linear Security Level 1
The following code types must be successfully read twice before being decoded:
Code Type Length
Codabar All
MSI 4 or less
D 2 of 5 8 or less
I 2 of 5 8 or less
*Linear Security Level 1
Linear Security Level 2
All code types must be successfully read twice before being decoded.
Linear Security Level 2

Advanced Scanner Configuration Guide 11
Revision: 2.0 , technical changes excepted
Linear Security Level 3
Code types other than the following must be successfully read twice before being decoded. The following codes
must be read three times: Code Type Length
MSI 4 or less
D 2 of 5 8 or less
I 2 of 5 8 or less
Linear Security Level 3
Linear Security Level 4
All code types must be successfully read three times before being decoded.
Linear Security Level 4
Bi-directional Redundancy
This parameter is only valid when a Linear Code Type Security Level is enabled. When this parameter is enabled,
a bar code must be successfully scanned in both directions (forward and reverse) before being decoded.
Enable Bi-directional Redundancy
*Disable Bi-directional Redundancy

Decode UPC/EAN Supplementals
Supplementals are appended characters (2 or 5) according to specific code format conventions (e.g., UPC A+2,
UPC E+2).
Several options are available:
 Decode UPC/EAN with Supplemental characters is selected, the scanner does not decode
UPC/EAN symbols without supplemental characters.
 Ignore UPC/EAN with Supplemental characters is selected, and the
SE-955 is presented with a UPC/EAN symbol with a supplemental, the scanner decodes the UPC/EAN and
ignores the supplemental characters.
 Autodiscriminate UPC/EAN Supplementals is selected, scan Autodiscriminate UPC/EAN
Supplementals on page 16, then select a value from the numeric bar codes beginning on page 51. A value
of 5 or more is recommended.
 elect Enable 378/379 Supplemental Mode to enable the SE-955 to identify supplementals for EAN-1 3
bar codes starting with a ‘378’ or ‘379’ prefix only. All other UPC/EAN bar codes are decoded immediately
and the supplemental characters ignored.
 elect Enable 978 Supplemental Mode to enable the SE-955 to identify supplementals for EAN-1 3 bar
codes starting with a ‘978’prefix only. All other UPC/EAN bar codes are decoded immediately and the
supplemental characters ignored.
 elect Enable Smart Supplemental Mode to enable the SE-955 to identify supplementals for EAN-1 3
bar codes starting with a ‘378’, ‘379’, or ‘978’ prefix only. All other UPC/EAN bar codes are decoded
immediately and the supplemental characters ignored.
Note: To minimize the risk of invalid data transmission, we recommend selecting whether
to read or ignore supplemental characters.
Select the desired option by scanning one of the following bar codes.
Decode UPC/EAN With Supplementals
*Ignore UPC/EAN With Supplementals

With Autodiscriminate UPC/EAN Supplementals selected, this option adjusts the number of times a symbol
without supplementals will be decoded before transmission. The range is from 2 to 30 times. Five or above is
recommended when decoding a mix of UPC/ EAN symbols with and without supplementals, and the
autodiscriminate option is selected.
Scan the bar code below to select a decode redundancy value. Next scan two numeric bar codes beginning on
page 51. Single digit numbers must have a leading zero. To change the selection or cancel an incorrect entry,
scan the Cancel bar code on page 51.
