PAGE 35
Chapter 1 Understanding the Barcode Scanner 1.6.1 CONTINUOUS MODE The scanner is always scanning. After a successful decoding, the removal of barcode is required. It is not allowed to proceed to decode until the decoding delay time has passed. To decode the same barcode repeatedly, move away the barcode and put it back again and again for scanning. Note: Refer to “Delay between Re-read”. Continuous Mode Decoding Delay Set the time interval between each decoding. *Disable 0.
PAGE 36
1704 Barcode Scanner User Guide 1.6.3 LASER MODE The scanner will start scanning once the trigger is held down. The scanning won't stop until (1) a barcode is decoded, (2) the pre-set timeout expires, or (3) you release the trigger. Note: Refer to “Scanning Timeout”. *Laser Mode 1.6.4 AUTO OFF MODE The scanner will start scanning once the trigger is pressed. The scanning won't stop until (1) a barcode is decoded, and (2) the pre-set timeout expires. Note: Refer to “Scanning Timeout”.
PAGE 37
Chapter 1 Understanding the Barcode Scanner 1.6.6 ALTERNATE MODE The scanner will start scanning once the trigger is pressed The scanning won't stop until you press the trigger again. Alternate Mode 1.6.7 AIMING MODE The scanner will aim at a barcode once the trigger is pressed, and start scanning when the trigger is pressed again within one second. The scanning won't stop until (1) a barcode is decoded, and (2) the pre-set timeout expires.
PAGE 38
1704 Barcode Scanner User Guide 1.6.8 MULTI-BARCODE MODE The scanner will be scanning as long as the trigger is held down, capable of decoding one single barcode, as well as a multiple unique barcodes one at a time. While decoding a bunch of unique barcodes, if a barcode is decoded twice, its subsequent decoding will be ignored and the scanner is expecting another unique barcode.
PAGE 39
Chapter 1 Understanding the Barcode Scanner 1.7 SCANNING TIMEOUT Specify the scanning time interval (1~254 sec.; 0= Disable) when the scan mode is set to any of the following – Laser mode Auto Off mode Auto Power Off mode Aiming mode Scanner Time-out after 0~254 sec.

PAGE 41
Chapter 1 Understanding the Barcode Scanner 1.9 READ REDUNDANCY (1D) Select the level of reading security. 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 same barcode to make the reading valid. The higher the reading security is (that is, the more redundancy the user selects), the slower the reading speed gets.
PAGE 42
1704 Barcode Scanner User Guide 1.10 ADDON SECURITY FOR UPC/EAN BARCODES The scanner is capable of decoding a mix of UPC/EAN barcodes with and without addons. The read redundancy (2~30 times) allows changing the number of times to decode a UPC/EAN barcode before transmission. The more redundancy you select, the higher the reading security is, and thus, the slower the reading speed becomes. You will have to compromise between reading security and decoding speed.
PAGE 43
Chapter 1 Understanding the Barcode Scanner 1.11 NEGATIVE BARCODES Normally, barcodes are printed with the color of the bars darker than that of the spaces. But for negative barcodes, they are printed in the opposite sense just like negative films. The spaces of negative barcodes are printed with a color darker than that of the bars. You can configure the scanner to be able to read negative barcodes in the following symbologies: All 1D symbologies Data Matrix QR Code Aztec Enable *Disable 1.

Chapter 4 Defining Output Format 4.6.2 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.
PAGE 178
1704 Barcode Scanner User Guide 4.7 REMOVAL OF SPECIAL CHARACTER You can only specify 1 character, 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 configured 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 5 APPLYING FORMATS FOR DATA EDITING The scanner allows advanced data editing by applying user-configured editing formats. The whole processed data can be divided into fields by user-specified rules. These fields together with the user-configurable additional fields consist of the data actually sent to the host computer. For 1704 to apply any editing format, the maximum output data length of a barcode is 4084 bytes after configuration.

Chapter 5 Applying Formats for Data Editing 5.3.2 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. Specify a value. When zero is given to both, 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.
PAGE 196
1704 Barcode Scanner User Guide 5.3.3 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 are allowed.
