Introduction
The way to program (configure) the Scanner is Code Programming.
Code Programming
The Scanner reads a set of specially encoded barcodes to program features. In the following sections, we will
explain the options and features available and provide the barcodes to program them.
This method of programming the Scanner is most straight forward. However, it requires manually readings of
each barcode. As all manual operations, errors are more likely to occur.
Note: The programming results are restored in non-volatile memory. They will not be lost when the Scanner
is powered off.

Programming Notation
This is the notation to disable the Code Programming.
There are 4 parts of a notation:
1、The first part of the notation is the barcode for Code Programming
2、The second part of the notation is the name of the options or features, such as Disable Code Pro-
gramming.
3、The third part of the notation is the corresponding Pro CMD string of the Code Programming.
4、If there is “**”in front of the name, it means the notation is factory default.

Code Programming ON/OFF
Read the “Code Programming ON”barcode to activate “Code
Programming”function. One or more Code Programming barcodes can be
read to configure the Scanner.
If an option or feature needs additional parameters, such as digits, they can be
found at the end of this chapter.
To exit Code Programming, read “Code Programming OFF”or any normal
barcode.
** Code Programming OFF

The value of code programming can be sent to the Host. For factory default, “No Send Pro
Code Value”, the value of programming codes will not be sent to the Host; by reading “Send
Pro Code Value”, the reader will send the value of Programming Code to the Host.

Illumination LED lighting up barcodes are used to capture better images.
There are 4 modes:
»“Illumination Wink”: LED keeps flashing when reading
»“Illumination Keep ON”: LED keeps on when Power ON
»“Illumination Read ON”: LED keeps on when reading
»“Illumination OFF”: LED is off all the time

Reading Mode
»Hand-held Mode: Pull and keep holding the trigger line to read. Com-
plete one reading or release the trigger to terminate reading status.
»Auto Mode: The ambient luminance change in front of the Scanner
automatically initiates reading. After completion of reading, the Scanner goes
to idle. Both luminance change and the Trigger can initiate reading when idle.
»Continuous Mode: Pull the Trigger line low to start reading. The Scanner
will keep reading. To stop, pull trigger line low again.

Reading Timeout and Delay
One Reading Timeout
【Pro CMD：0313000】
Same Barcode Reading Delay
【Pro CMD：0313010】
There are two options available in Same Barcode Reading Delay:
»(Multi-reading) Prohibit: The same symbol can be read after delay.
»(Multi-reading) Semi-prohibit: The same symbol can be read more than once in the delay period
if ambient illumination is changed, for example the bar code is removed out of reading area and moved
back.
** Multi-reading Semi-prohibit
【Pro CMD：0313020】
Multi-reading Prohibit
【Pro CMD：0313030】
To set One Reading Timeout to 1500ms, read these programming codes:
1、“Code Programming ON”
2、“One Reading Timeout”
3、Digit Code “1”,“5”,“0”,“0”, see Digit Code
4、“Save Programming”
One Reading Timeout：If the Scanner doesn't read any barcode during the
timeout period, it will stop reading automatically. One Reading Timeout is
valid in Auto mode. The default timeout is 3000ms.
Same Barcode Reading Delay：It is used to avoid misreading on the same
barcode (the same format and message) in a Same Barcode Reading Delay
Time. It is valid only in Auto mode. The default delay is 1500ms.

Sensitivity
»Sensitivity is how sensitive the Scanner is to ambient illumination
change.
»Sensitivity value is [1 .. 20]
»The lower the sensitivity value is the higher sensitivity will be. The low-
er the sensitivity value is the smaller illumination change will initiate reading.
