M-2
To scan a bar code using your laser or CCD scanner, (whether it be a
handheld or integrated)
1. put your RF Terminal in One-Way mode with the host computer
program not running; or even unplug the serial cable,
2. point the laser scanner at the bar code at about 6” away.
3. Pull the trigger (or push the button on an integrated model) and
line up the beam on the bar code. If you don’t get a read, vary the
distance of the scanner from the bar code by pulling up or moving
down. Just as with the wand, the idea is to scan through the center
of the bar code.
Laser Options
Several options are applicable to all laser and CCD Scanners that are used
with the RF Terminal. These options are: 1) Longer timeout on the laser
reading, and 2) Double decode required.
Longer Laser Reading: A temporary solution to problem bar codes is
sometimes to increase the length of the time the scanner attempts to read, from
the default 2-second beam to a 4-second beam. To select the 4-second beam:
Scan Start Setup
Scan Laser Options
Scan 3 to select the 4-second beam
Scan End Setup
To return to the default 2-second beam, scan 0.
Double Decode: The default setting for the RF Terminal is one successful
decode results in a “good read”. If you are getting incorrect reads, (due to
defective bar codes), a temporary solution is to turn on make the RF
Terminal perform two straight identical decodes before beeping, outputting
data, and completing a “good read” read.
To activate the double decode:
Scan Start Setup
Scan Laser Options
Scan 1 to select the 4-second beam
Scan End Setup
To return to the default 2-second beam, scan 0.
There are two Setup Options that are only apply to the Integrated RF
Terminal and the LZ200 laser scanner (they both use the same model of
scan engine). The two options are:
