Low Power Timeout
To extend laser life, you can select the length of time the scanner remains active following a
successful decode. The scanner wakes from low power mode when a bar code is scanned—a
successful decode restores normal blinking.
When you double-tap on this parameter, a dialog box is displayed in which you can choose a
value of 30 sec, 1 min, 2 min, or 3 min.
Parameter Scanning
Setting this parameter to Enabled allows decoding of parameter bar codes.
Same Read Validate
The data is only transmitted after repeated reads give the same result. The value assigned at
this parameter determines the number of reads required, from 0 to 10 times.
Same Read Timeout
Prevents the same bar code from being read more than once. The value assigned determines
after what time period the scanner will timeout, from 0 to 2550 msec.
Diff Read Timeout
Prevents unwanted reading of other bar codes on the same label. The value assigned deter-
mines after what time period the scanner will timeout, from 0 to 2550 msec.
5.14.3.3 Code 39
Enable
Setting this parameter to on enables “Code 39”.
Full ASCII
If this parameter is enabled, the characters +, %, and / are used as escape characters. The
combination of an escape character and the next character is converted to an equivalent
ASCII character.
Reading Range
Determines the reading distance from which a bar code can be successfully scanned. The
default setting, Extended, allows for increased reading distance.
Note: This parameter is only used if the Trigger Mode has been set to Continuous On and
the Ikôn is mounted in a fixed position; otherwise, ‘Low Power Timeout’ is not used.
