Configuring the Scanner 5-3
Momentary
The scanner is on when the trigger is pressed and
goes off when the trigger is released.
Continuous
The scanner is always on. A good scan causes the
scanner to reset and continue scanning.
Compatible
The scanner operates in Monarch® 6037
compatible mode, which means the scanner is on
when the trigger is pressed and goes off after a
successful scan or a predetermined timeout period.
Note: An unsuccessful scans turns off the scanner and activates the
tone (.wav file) set using the Scanner Configuration menu. A “no
scan” is interpreted as an unsuccessful scan.
5. Set the Data Receive Mode: WMCHAR or SMSCANCHAR. The
default is WMCHAR.
WM_CHAR
The application receives data by the keyboard
buffer.
SM_SCANCHAR
The application receives data by the scanner
through a special message.
6. Set the Operation of the Trigger Mode: Scan, Drop, or Forward.
The default is Forward.
Scan
Pressing the trigger turns on the scanner.
Drop
The printer ignores the trigger press and does not turn
on the scanner.
Forward
The printer passes the trigger press to the application
as an F11, which allows for more control of the
application. You can code a custom application to
perform a special function whenever it receives an F11.
7. Enable Send Scan Status to return the data after any scan. This
data precedes the bar code and includes the length of data and bar
code type. See Appendix A, “Scan Status Values,” for more
information.
8. Set the No Scan Timeout in tenths of seconds, which is the amount
of time the scanner beam is on before turning off when the trigger is
pressed. The range is 5 – 99. The default is 30.
