Character Activation Timeout
You can set a timeout for the length of time the illumination remains on and attempting to decode bar codes when using
Character Activation Mode. Set the length (in milliseconds) for a timeout by scanning the following bar code, then setting
the timeout (from 1-300,000 milliseconds) by scanning digits from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this
manual, then scanning Save. Default = 30,000 ms.
Character Deactivation Mode
If you have sent a character from the host to trigger the scanner to begin scanning, you can also send a deactivation character
to stop scanning. Scan the following On bar code to use character deactivation, then use Deactivation Character (following) to
select the character you will send from the host to terminate scanning. Default = Off.
Deactivation Character
This sets the character used to terminate scanning when using Character Deactivation Mode. On the ASCII Conversion
Chart (Code Page 1252), page A-3, find the hex value that represents the character you want to use to terminate scanning.
Scan the following bar code, then use the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual to read the alphanu-
meric combination that represents that ASCII character. Scan Save to finish. Default = 14 [DC4].
Illumination Lights
If you want the illumination lights on while reading a bar code, scan the Lights On bar code, below. However, if you want to turn
just the lights off, scan the Lights Off bar code. Default = Lights On.
Note: This setting does not affect the aimer light. The aiming light can be set using Aimer Mode (page 4-15).
