• By default, the RF Terminal has no special laser options set. If any of the
features below seem to fit your situation, set them appropriately. Settings C
through F are not laser-dependent and are for UPC/EAN bar code types only.
See the UPC/EAN parameter for more information
• Double Decode is there to minimize the possibility of misreads when
scanning very poor quality bar codes. This option forces the RF Terminal to
keep reading until it gets two results that are identical. This "double scan
checking" takes longer but will minimize misreads since it must get the same
result twice before considering it a "good" read.
• 4-second laser beam increases the amount of time the laser beam is
activated, giving the laser more time to try and read a code. This option is
useful for trying to read poor quality code. Using the 4-second laser beam
with long range lasers give the operator more time to aim the laser properly
at a distant bar code (usually using the "marker" beam). The default beam
time is 2 seconds.
Reset
While in Setup Mode, DO NOT scan the RESET bar code unless you want to
set all of the RF Terminal setup parameters back to the factory default settings.
Scanning RESET will erase all changes you have made.
