====Basic====
|
+ |
The H21 supports many different options that control the behavior of the barcode scanner embedded in the device. All of these options can be found within a single application. To find this application follow the path below.
|
- |
====Advanced====
|
+ |
: '''Start''' > '''Settings''' > '''System''' > '''Scanner Settings''' > '''Code Options''' (tab).
|
|
|
+ |
An explanation of each setting follows, separated into groups here as they are separated by tabs within the H21 '''Scanner Settings''' application.
|
|
|
+ |
====Basic Settings====
|
|
|
+ |
* '''Enable Barcode Reader''': This options, when checked, indicates that the barcode reader has power and is on.
|
|
|
+ |
* '''Trigger Key'''
|
|
|
+ |
** '''Enable trigger key''': This options, when enabled, indicates that the software wedge is active. This means that barcode data will appear wherever the cursor happens to be and if no cursor is on the screen then no barcode data will be seen. Note that further '''Trigger key''' options must be enabled for any specific trigger key to actually work.
|
|
|
+ |
** '''Side''': This options enables both of the side trigger keys.
|
|
|
+ |
** '''F1''': This options turns the '''F1''' function key into a trigger key.
|
|
|
+ |
** '''F2''': This options turns the '''F2''' function key into a trigger key.
|
|
|
+ |
** '''F3''' ''Only available on numeric keyboard models'': This options turns the '''F3''' function key into a trigger key.
|
|
|
+ |
** '''F4''' ''Only available on numeric keyboard models'': This options turns the '''F4''' function key into a trigger key.
|
|
|
+ |
* '''Output mode'''
|
|
|
+ |
** '''Buffer''': This output mode is only to be used when the Opticon H21 SDK has been used to directly control the barcode scanner from within an application. Typical users will not use this option.
|
|
|
+ |
** '''Keyboard''': When this options is selected, data is injected wherever the cursor happens to be as if the data had been typed by pressing physical keys on the device.
|
|
|
+ |
** '''Clipboard''': When this option is selected, data is first copied into the devices clipboard and then transmitted to the screen. This option is the default.
|
|
|
+ |
* '''Special Suffix''': This option allows you to configure a custom suffix that is appended to the end of every barcode transmission. Developers note that this suffix is appended after data has been transmitted from the scanner. This suffix is not added by the barcode scanner. See the '''Additional Settings''' section for additional prefix and suffix options.
|
|
|
+ |
* '''Good read notification''': This option allows you to configure what happens when a barcode is successfully decoded. The '''Buzzer''' option emits an audible notification. The '''Vibrator''' option causes the vibrator to activate for a moment upon each successful decode.
|
|
|
+ |
====Code Options====
|
|
|
+ |
The '''Code Options''' tab allows you to configure what barcode symbologies are enabled and allows configuration of a variety of options specific to each symbology. A check mark next to a symbology name means that barcodes of the given symbology can be scanned. Additional settings specific to each symbology can be found by tap-holding a symbology name and then selecting the sub symbology name from the list that appears.
|
|
|
+ |
* The '''Set defaults''' button on the main screen here will reset the list of enabled symbologies back to the default. Note that this option does not change any of the symbology specific settings.
|
|
|
+ |
* Within each symbology settings page there is a separate '''Default''' button that will reset the options on the specific page.
|
|
|
+ |
====Read Options====
|
|
|
+ |
The options on this tab change the behavior of the barcode scanner in ways that are not specific to the H21 or to a specific barcode symbology.
|
|
|
+ |
* '''Read mode'''
|
|
|
+ |
** '''Single''': When this option is selected the barcode scanner will cut off immediately upon a single successful barcode scan.
|
|
|
+ |
** '''Multiple''': When this option is selected the barcode scanner will not cut off upon a successful barcode scan, allowing multiple barcodes to be scanned in a single trigger press. Note that the '''Read Time''' options still apply.
|
|
|
+ |
* '''Read time'''
|
|
|
+ |
** '''1-9''': This options represents the number of seconds the barcode scanner will remain on when triggered. Even if the trigger key is held down the scanner will still turn off when this time elapses.
|
|
|
+ |
** '''0''': This option causes the barcode scanner to remain on exactly as long as you continue to hold the trigger key. For someone new to barcode scanning this options is usually the most intuitive. If '''Single''' scan mode is selected a successful scan will still cause the scanner to cut off.
|
|
|
+ |
** '''Indefinitely''': When this option is selected the barcode scanner will not cut off due to time considerations. Note that is '''Multiple''' scan mode is enabled then the barcode scanner will not turn off until the barcode scanner itself is turned off manually.
|
|
|
+ |
* '''Margin check''': Every barcode requires a stretch of ''blank'' section on the relevant edges of the barcode (such as both left and right sides for a typical grocery store barcode). This area is known as a margin and is necessary for a barcode scanner to easily find the barcode. This option allows you to adjust the required margin allowing for scanning of barcodes that were not printed within specifications.
|
|
|
+ |
* '''Redundancy''': By default, Opticon barcode scanners will actually successfully decode a specific barcode twice before transmitting the barcode data and indicating success (beeping, vibrating, etc.). Adjust this setting to either increase the redundancy, thereby increasing the reliability of getting the correct data from a specific barcode, or to reduce the redundancy, which can increase scan speed very slightly or make it more likely to scan extremely poor barcodes.
|
|
|
+ |
* '''Positive and negative''': This option allows you to scan barcodes that are printed in reverse (white bars on black background), normal (positive) or both. Note that enabling '''Both''' effectively cuts the decode speed in half as the barcode scanner must switch between positive and negative decoding in alternating sweeps of the decoder.
|
|
|
+ |
* '''Scan angle'''
|
|
|
+ |
** '''Normal''': Coming Soon!
|
|
|
+ |
** '''Narrow''': Coming Soon!
