Display
Scan Result
When this parameter is enabled, the type of bar code and the result of the scan
appear on the screen. Note that this information is only displayed after a successful
decode and is visible only while the scanner trigger is pressed. When the trigger is
released, this information is cleared from the screen.
Scan Indicator
When this parameter is enabled, the laser warning logo appears on the display
whenever the scanner is activated.
Scan Result Time (sec)
The value assigned to the ‘Scan Result Time (sec)’ parameter determines how long
the scan results of a successful scan are displayed on the screen. Time is measured in
seconds, and a value of ‘0’ (zero) disables the parameter. When you choose this
option, a dialog box appears where you can enter a value.
Note: To remove the scan result from the screen before the “Result Time”
has expired, point the scanner away from the bar code and press
the trigger.
Good Scan Beep And Bad Scan Beep
These parameters determine whether or not the vehicle-mount emits an audible
scanner ‘beep’ when a good (successful) scan or a bad (unsuccessful) scan is
performed. Set these parameters to either on to enable the beeper or off to disable it.
Soft Scan Timeout
This parameter is used by the SDK ‘Scan’ function (soft-scan: starting a scan
session via the SDK function rather than through a physical trigger press). The value
assigned to this parameter determines the soft-scan timeout from 1 to 10 sec.
(default is 3 sec.).
Scan Log File
If this parameter is enabled, the input barcode and the modified/translated output bar
code are logged in the file \Flash Disk\ScanLog.txt. Keep in mind that if this
parameter is enabled, there is a slight performance effect when performing multiple
scans because the log file is written to persistent storage.
