2.5 Interface Setting
Once you have “paired” the scanner and base, you need to specify the interface type
to your PC. The interface settings are stored in the base. So ensure that you have RF
connection between your scanner and base prior to setting the interface type. For
details on selecting interfaces please refer to the relevant section in this manual.
3.1 Buzzer
The buzzer of the scanner beeps differently to indicate various operating conditions.
•
Power On Beep
: The scanner will issue a long beep to indicate a successful
power on.
•
Good Read Beep
: There are four volume levels and four beeping tones
(frequencies) that the user can select from to signify a good read. The available
options are:
Volume: Maximum/Loud/Medium/Minimum
Frequency: 8 / 4 / 2 / 1 kHz
•
Error Beep
: The scanner will issue a long beep with a low tone to indicate
errors.
•
Enter / Exit Configuration Beep
: The scanner will issue 6 beeps upon entering /
exiting the configuration mode.
•
Setup Beep
: In configuration mode, the scanner will normally beep twice when a
setup barcode is read. If the particular setup parameter needs more than one read,
the scanner will only issue a short beep to indicate that there are more setup
barcodes needed to complete the current parameter setting.
3.2 Indicator
There is a dual color indicator on top of the scanner. Normally it is off, and will
turn red when there is a good read. The indicator will be green when the scanner is
in configuration mode.
3.3 Scan Modes
There are eight scan modes supported by the scanner. The user can choose the
desired scan mode depending on the application requirements. But, if the scanner is
a switch-less scanner, only Continuous mode or Testing mode can be selected
(other scan modes involve trigger switch interaction). The supported scan modes
are described below.
