6.25.1.2 Decoded (Internal) Advanced Options
Continuous Scan Mode
Setting this parameter to ‘on’ keeps the laser on and continuously decoding as long
as the scanner button is pressed and held down.
Minimum Cancel Time
The value assigned to this parameter determines the time delay before the scanner is
turned off, once the scanner trigger or button is released. This gives the scanner a
minimum amount of time to complete its current decode before the scan is cancelled
when the user quickly triggers on/off.
Low Power Timeout
To extend laser life, you can select the length of time the scanner remains active
following a successful decode. The scanner wakes from low power mode when a
bar code is scanned – a successful decode restores normal blinking.
When you double-tap on this parameter, a dialog box is displayed in which you can
choose a value of 30 sec, 1 min, 2 min or 3 min.
Note: This parameter is only used if the Trigger Mode has been set to Continu-
ous On and the hand-held is mounted in a fixed position; otherwise, ‘Low
Power Timeout’ is not used.
Parameter Scanning
Setting this parameter to on enables decoding of parameter bar codes.
Linear Security Level
This parameter allows you to select the security level appropriate for your bar code
quality. There are four levels of decode security for linear code types (e.g., Code 39,
Interleaved 2 of 5). Higher security levels should be selected for decreasing levels of
bar code quality. As security levels increase, the scanner’s decode speed decreases.
Double-tapping on this parameter displays a dialog box in which you can enter a
value from 1 to 4.
