End Character Activation After Good Read
After a bar code is successfully detected and read from the scanner, the laser can be programmed either to remain on and
scanning, or to turn off. When End Character Activation After Good Read is enabled, the laser turns off and stops scan-
ning after a good read. If you scan Do Not End Character Activation After Good Read, the laser remains on after a good
read. Default = End Character Activation After Good Read.
Character Activation Laser Timeout
You can set a timeout for the length of time the laser remains on and attempting to decode bar codes when using Character
Activation Mode. Set the length (in milliseconds) for a timeout by scanning the following bar code, then setting the timeout
(from 1-65535 milliseconds) by scanning digits from the Programming Chart, then scanning Save. Default = 5000 ms.
Character Deactivation Mode
If you have sent a character from the host to trigger the scanner to begin scanning, you can also send a deactivation character
to stop scanning. Scan the following On bar code to use character deactivation, then use Deactivation Character (following) to
select the character you will send from the host to terminate scanning. Default = Off.
Deactivation Character
This sets the character used to terminate scanning when using Character Deactivation Mode. On the ASCII Conversion
Chart (Code Page 1252), page A-3, find the hex value that represents the character you want to use to terminate scanning.
Scan the following bar code, then use the Programming Chart to read the alphanumeric combination that represents that
ASCII character. Scan Save to finish.
