Chapter 1 Understanding the Barcode Scanner 1.1.3 AUTO POWER OFF & POWER-SAVING The scanner will stay active at power-on, which may be followed by a transition from full CPU speed to low CPU speed (Power-Saving) to auto shutdown (Auto Power Off). Power-Saving (1~254 min.; 0= Disable): By default, it is set to stand by at full-speed for 2 minutes before it enters low-speed mode. If this feature is not desired, set it to 0. Auto Power Off (1~254 min.
1663 Barcode Scanner User Guide After establishing a WPAN connection successfully… 1) Once a WPAN connection is established successfully, the scanner will stay active for a specified period of ti me (2 mi nutes by defaul t) for data transmission. Its CPU i s running at ful l speed, and the LED is flashing blue (On/Off ratio 0.02 s: 3 s). 2) If it is idle within 2 minutes, the scanner will become i nactive to save power for the remaini ng period of time (the specified value minus 2 minutes).
Chapter 1 Understanding the Barcode Scanner Auto Off after 0~254 min. (*10) 1) Read the barcode above to sp ecify the time interval in minutes before the sca nner automatically turns off. 2) Read the “Decimal Value” barcode on page 219. For example, read “1” and “5” for the scanner to automatically turn off after being idle for 15 minutes. 3) Read the “Validate” barcode on the same page to complete this setting. Note: Auto Power Off will not take effect when the scanner is in the configuration mode.
1663 Barcode Scanner User Guide 1.2 MEMORY The scanned data can be sent to a host computer immediately via the WPAN connection or stored in flash memory when the scanner is set to Memory mode. 1.2.1 TRANSMIT BUFFER By default, the transmit buffer is enabled and ready for use when the scanner is out of range. Upon reading a barcode successfully within range, th e scanner responds with one short beep (high tone) and its LED indicator becomes solid green and goes off.

For example, If "No Redundancy" is selected, one successful decoding will make the reading valid and induce the "READER Event". If "Two Times" is selected, it will take a total of three consecutive successful decoding of the sam e barcode to make the readi ng valid.
1663 Barcode Scanner User Guide 1.11 ADDON SECURITY FOR UPC/EAN BARCODES The scanner is capable of decoding a mix of The read r edundancy (0~30 times) allows UPC/EAN barcode before transmission. The reading security is, and thus, the slower the UPC/EAN barcodes with and without addons. changing the number of times to decode a more redundancy selected, the hi gher the reading speed becomes. Note: UPC/EAN Addon 2 and Addon 5 must be enabled individually for this setting to take effect.
Chapter 1 Understanding the Barcode Scanner 1.13 EFFECTIVE DECODING AREA By default, the effective decoding area is 100% covered by the sca nned area. However, you may narrow down the decoding area to prevent reading the wrong barcode when a number of barcodes are printed closely. The scanner will only read barcodes t hat appear in the effective decoding area. Read the barcode “Centering On” a nd specify the pe rcentage to narrow d own the decoding area.

Chapter 5 Defining Output Format 5.6.2 ACTIVATE THE CONCATENATION OF BARCODES By default, the output sequence editing of the concatenation of barcodes is not applied. When “Enforce Output Sequence” is enabled, all barcodes read by the scanner must meet with the criteria for the concatenation. If data is found excluded from all output sequence sets (= not meeting with the criteria), the scanner will not accept the reading, and therefore, data will not be transmitted.
1663 Barcode Scanner User Guide 5.7 REMOVAL OF SPECIAL CHARACTER You can only specify 1 ch aracter, but it will remove every matching character encountered from the starting position of barcode data until a different character is met. For example, if it is con figured to remove the character “0” (hex value is “30”), one or more zeros will be stripped off the barcode data “012345” and “00012345”. However, for barcode data “010333”, only the first zero will be stripped off.
Chapter 6 APPLYING FORMATS FOR DATA EDITING The scanner allows advanced data editing by applying user-configured editing formats. The whole processed data can b e divided into fields by user -specified rules. The data actually sent to the host computer comprises those fields together with the user-configurable additional fields.
1663 Barcode Scanner User Guide 6.1 ACTIVATING EDITING FORMATS 6.1.1 ACTIVATE EDITING FORMATS If you have already configured any editing format before, you may directly apply the editing format. If not, you must start with configuring an editing format first, and then, activate the editing format when it is desired in use.
Chapter 6 Applying Formats for Data Editing Editing Format 5 Enable *Disable 6.1.2 EXCLUSIVE DATA EDITING By default, only barcodes found m eeting with the criteria are processed by t he editing formats. Those found not meeting with the criteria are processed normally. When “Exclusive Data Editing” is en abled, all barcodes read by the scanner must be processed by the editing formats.

Up to five different formats can be specified.
1663 Barcode Scanner User Guide 6.2.2 RESTORE DEFAULT FORMAT You may select an existing editing format and have the def aults restored. The default settings of an editing format are listed below.
Chapter 6 Applying Formats for Data Editing 6.3 CONFIGURE FORMAT — DEFINE DATA CRITERIA Three applicable conditions can b e configured to check whether the data read by t he scanner can be processed by the particular editing format. Note: Data editing cannot be performed unless the three conditions are all met. 6.3.1 APPLICABLE CODE TYPE By default, barcodes of all the supported sy mbologies will be proces sed by any editing format, if having been configured and enabl ed.

1663 Barcode Scanner User Guide 6.3.2 DATA LENGTH The length must include prefix , suffix (0x0d by default), length code, etc. By default, barcodes of any length (character count) are eligible for data editing. A value ranging from 0 to 254 can be specified. When zero is given to Max. & Mi n. Length, the scanner will not perform the length qualification. 1) Read the barcode below to specify Max. Length or Min. Length separately, and follow steps 2~3. Max. Length Min.
Chapter 6 Applying Formats for Data Editing 6.3.3 MATCHING STRING & LOCATION By default, no matching string is specified, and therefore, it is disabled. You may enable this feature by specifying a matching string up to four characters. When the Matching String Location is z ero, the scanner w ill only check for the existence of the matching string in the barcode data. Specify a value from 1 to 254 to indicate where the matching string starts in the barcode data.
1663 Barcode Scanner User Guide 6.4 CONFIGURE FORMAT — DEFINE DATA FIELD 6.4.1 START POSITION Data can be divided into fields in one of the following direction – from head (F1) to tail (F5) from tail (F1) to head (F5) *From Head From Tail 6.4.2 FIELD ADJUSTMENT You may apply equal length to all f ields, if necessary. If data is f ound longer than specified, it will be t runcated automatically. When data is f ound shorter, it w ill add “Space” (0x20) to field.
Chapter 6 Applying Formats for Data Editing 6.4.3 TOTAL NUMBER OF FIELDS Data can b e divided into at most 6 fields; each of them is numbered from F1 to F6 accordingly. However, only F1~F5 can be configured. The total number of fields mu st be specified correctly. If three fields are configured for the editing format, the data ch aracters after F3 w ill be assigned to F 4 automatically. This feature is quite useful especially when data of variable lengths is processed by editing formats.
1663 Barcode Scanner User Guide 6.4.4 FIELD SETTINGS Data eligible for editing formats is divided into fields by user-spe cified rules – either using the field terminating string or specified field length. By Terminating String Specify the fiel d terminating string. Up to two char acters are al lowed. The scanner will search for the occurrence of this particular string in the data. By default, this string will be included in the field. You may discard it.
