A double-click produces different results depending on whether or not a value is assigned in the “Click Data” parameter. When a value is not assigned for the “Click Data”, double-clicking the scanner trigger overrides the target dot delay set in the “Dot Time” parameter and initiates a normal scan sweep.
Chapter 5: Configuration Options Tab Soft Scan Timeout This parameter is used by the SDK “Scan” function (soft-scan: starting a scan session via the SDK function, instead of a physical user 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 bar code and the modified/translated output bar code are logged in the file \Flash Disk\ScanLog.txt.
Chapter 5: Configuration Translations Tab 5.14.3 Translations Tab The Translations tab allows you to define up to 10 cases, each consisting of up to 10 rules in sequential order. Only one case will be applied to a bar code and a case will only be applied if all rules specified in the case are successful – if a rule within a case fails, the entire case fails. • 140 In the Translation tab, tap on the Case # to create rules.
Chapter 5: Configuration Translations Tab • Tap on the No rule drop-down menu to display the rules. When you choose a rule, an associated screen is displayed in which you can define the rule. 5.14.3.1 Case Rules The case rules are defined as follows: • • • • • No rule – ignored.
