Setting Gain
The laser module gain setting can be switched. Switching this setting enhances scanning
performance particularly for a bar code located far away from the terminal and a bar code printed
in high-resolution.
Operation Setting Information File
The various setting values can be stored in a file and resumed. The setting file storage location and
name are “\FlashDisk\System Settings\OBRDRV.ini”. If there is no such the setting file, the
default values are used to initiate the scanning.
Dual Decoder System
The dual decoder system initially decodes a scanned bar code data using the standard decoder, but
if decoding fails, it will use the following additional decoder to scan the same bar code. This dual
decoders system supports the bar code symbologies listed below.
- Code39
- Code128
- EAN
With the decoding system used for the previous CASIO handheld terminals, decoding is processed
with a mean value of one module adding bar thickness of each black bar and white bar for one
character when performing binaryzation or quardruplzation of bar thickness. However, this
method does not accurately decode a bar code if it is formed with unbalanced bar thickness
between white bars and black bars.
The dual decoder system can solve it by calculating separately each mean value of black bars and
white bars for such a bar code with unbalanced thickness of white and black bars by changing the
threshold level of decoding.
