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.
Power Mode
This parameter is a power-saving option. Tapping on it displays a screen listing two power
mode options: Continuous Power and Low Power.
In Continuous Power mode, the scanner is always on, waiting for a trigger pull or a serial
communication.
In Low Power mode, the scanner is in a standby state, drawing minimal power until a trigger
pull or serial communication wakes it. Keep in mind that while this option is more suitable
for battery powered applications, there will be a slight delay while the scanner powers up to
scan a bar code.
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.
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
Note: This parameter is only used if the Trigger Mode has been set to Continuous On and
the Ikôn is mounted in a fixed position; otherwise, ‘Low Power Timeout’ is not used.
