  • Page 84: Serial Trigger Modes

    Serial Trigger Modes Manual/Serial Trigger, Low Power You can activate the image scanner either by pressing the trigger, or using a serial trigger command (see Trigger Commands on page 12-4). When in manual trigger mode, the image scanner scans until a barcode is read, or until the trigger is released.
  • Page 85 If there are no trigger pulls during the timer interval, the image scanner goes into power down mode. Whenever the trigger is enabled, the timer is reset. If the image scanner is placed in the 2020 cradle and the battery is in the process of being charged, the image scanner will not go into power down mode.
  • Page 86: Scan Stand Mode

    Scan Stand Mode When a unit is in Scan Stand mode, it remains idle as long as it sees the Scan Stand symbol, below. When a different code is presented, the image scanner is triggered to read the new code. Note: The image scanner automatically adjusts the illumination LEDs to the lowest light level possible to maintain a good lock on the Scan Stand symbol.
  • Page 87: Presentation Mode

    Presentation Mode Scanning the barcode below programs the image scanner to work in Presentation Mode. Presentation Mode uses ambient light to detect barcodes. The LEDs are off until a barcode is presented to the image scanner, then the LEDs turn on automatically to read the code. If the light level in the room is not high enough, Presentation Mode may not work properly.
  • Page 88: Presentation Sensitivity

    Presentation Sensitivity Presentation Sensitivity is a numeric range that increases or decreases the image scanner's reaction time to barcode presentation. To set the sensitivity, scan the Sensitivity barcode, then scan the degree of sensitivity (from 0-20) from the inside back cover, and Save. 0 is the most sensitive setting, and 20 is the least sensitive.

  • Page 91: Illumination Lights

    If you have an aimer delay programmed (see Aimer Delay on page 4-12), the aimer will be at 100% power during the delay, regardless of the LED Power Level. Note: If you scan the Off barcode, both the aimer and illumination lights turn off, making it impossible to scan barcodes in low light.
  • Page 92: Aimer Delay

    Aimer Delay The aimer delay allows a delay time for the operator to aim the image scanner before the picture is taken. Use these codes to set the time between when the trigger is pulled and when the picture is taken. During the delay time, the aiming light will appear, but the LEDs won’t turn on until the delay time is over.
  • Page 93: Centering

    Centering Use Centering to narrow the image scanner’s field of view to make sure the image scanner reads only those barcodes intended by the user. For instance, if multiple codes are placed closely together, centering will insure that only the desired codes are read.
  • Page 94: Decode Search Mode

    Scan Centering On, then scan one of the following barcodes to change the top, bottom, left, or right of the centering window. Then scan the percent you want to shift the centering window using digits on the inside back cover of this manual.

    X - Horizontal Barcode Offset The horizontal barcode offset allows you to offset the horizontal center of the signature capture area. Positive values move the horizontal center to the right and negative values to the left. Measurements are in multiples of the minimum bar width.
  • Page 189: Chapter 9 - Ocr Programming

    OCR Programming Use this section to program the image scanner for optical character recognition (OCR). The image scanner reads 6 to 60 point OCR typeface. Note: OCR is not as secure as barcodes. To enhance security in OCR applications, create an OCR template to match the data and print an OCR check character.

    OCR-B On allows you to scan characters in the OCR-B font. The default set- ting allows you to scan any eight digit combination. If you have created an OCR template, character combinations that fit the template can be scanned (see Creating an OCR Template, page 9-3).
  • Page 191: Semi Font

    SEMI Font SEMI Font On allows you to scan the SEMI font used in the semiconductor industry. SEMI Font On All OCR Off turns off all OCR capability in the image scanner, so the image scanner will be able to scan linear, stacked, matrix, and composite barcodes, but not OCR fonts.

    Template Characters represents any alphanumeric character (digit or letter) represents a check character position represents any digit represents any available OCR character represents character from user-defined variable “g” represents character from user-defined variable “h” represents character from user-defined variable “g” or “h” represents that a check character is verified but transmitted represents any uppercase letter marks the start of a new template...
  • Page 193: Stringing Together Multiple Formats (Creating "Or" Statements)

    Character Match Sequences This method is used if you need a template that shows a specific character in a specific position. Put the character in uppercase in the template at the required position (template characters are always lower case). Example: You need to read three variable digits, three specific characters (ABC), followed by three variable digits.
  • Page 194: Ocr User-Defined Variables

    To create this template, you would enable the OCR-A font. Scan the Enter OCR Template symbol (page 9-13). Scan the d from the OCR Programming Chart in the back of this manual eight times, then scan the t to create the “or” statement.
  • Page 195: Reading Multi-Row Ocr

    Reading Multi-Row OCR The image scanner is capable of decoding multi-row OCR text. Note: Reading rows longer than sixteen characters is not recommended. Consider the following example. This example shows serial commands as they would be entered using QuickView. Example: You need to read multiple rows of OCR-A data as shown below: 12345678 ABCDEFGH First, enable the OCR-A font.

  • Page 197 for the calculation. By default, the check character computation is unweighted, but the image scanner also supports two weighted modulo 10 checking schemes. Example: To program a modulo 11 check character, you would enter the following 11 characters in order: 0123456789X Also enter the OCR template: dddddddc...
  • Page 198: Weighting Options

    Weighting Options By default, the check character computation is unweighted. It is possible to use one of two weighted modulo 10 schemes. Weighting is often used to detect if two neighboring characters are transposed, a common error when an operator keys in data.

To apply this weighting scheme, set the OCR check character to "0123456789x2x1" or scan the following symbol: 2-1-2-1 Weighted Modulo 10 Check Character Example: Scan the 2-1-2-1 Weighted Modulo 10 Check Character symbol. Also enter the OCR template: ddddddc Then scan the string below:...
