Skew (α) < 45° (0° preferably)
Pitch (γ) < 45° (5°- 20°preferably)
Roll (β) = 0°- 360°
Programming Scanner
Tap the app icon on the Home screen – > . Then configure the scanner
parameters as per your actual needs. Enable Scan
Check or uncheck the “Enable scan” item to enable or disable the scanning
feature of the MT95. Output Mode
The MT95 provides three output modes: Simulate keystroke, Output via API, and
Fill in EditText directly.
-
Simulate keystroke: Output scanned data to keyboard buffer to simulate keyboard input.
Character interval (ms): A character interval of 0-100 milliseconds may be placed between the transmissions of each character of scanned data. -
Output via API: Application acquires scanned data by receiving system broadcasts.
-
Fill in EditText directly: Output scanned data at the current cursor position in EditText.
Overwrite output: Clear the text input box before sending the barcode currently scanned to make sure only the most recently scanned data is present in the text input box. This feature is available only when Simulate keystroke or Fill in EditText directly is selected.
Output enter-event: Send an Enter Key after each barcode is scanned.
Send virtual keyboard function: Make send virtual keyboard function as “action done”, “action search”, “action previous”, action search, etc.
Scan Mode
The MT95 provides the following four scan modes:
-
Level mode: Press and hold the scan trigger to start a decode session which continues until the trigger is released.
-
Continuous mode: Press the scan trigger to continuously read barcodes. To suspend or resume scan operation, simply press the scan trigger.
Scan interval (ms): This parameter sets the timeout between decode sessions. -
Pulse mode: Press the scan trigger to start a decode session which continues until the decode session timeout expires.
-
Delay mode (Scan on release key): Press and hold the scan trigger to aim at barcode then release it to start a decode session which continues until the decode session timeout expires or a barcode is decoded. It is advised to use this scan mode and the Acuscan Decoding feature to ensure that only the desired barcodes are read if multiple barcodes are placed closely together.
Decode session timeout (ms): This parameter sets the maximum time decode
session continues during a scan attempt.
Masked repeat interval (ms): This parameter sets the time interval between two
successive reads on the same barcode. Scan Trigger
Left/Right SCAN key: Use the Scan key on the left/right side of the terminal
as a scan trigger. Enable or disable them as per your actual needs. Prefix &
Suffix
To set the prefix/suffix, enter the hexadecimal value of a desired
prefix/suffix, and then tap “OK”. For example, if you want to add a Line Feed
character after each barcode, set the suffix to “0A”; if you want to add a
Carriage Return character after each barcode, set the suffix to “0D”. Good
Read Indicator
The terminal can use sound/vibration/LED to indicate a good read. Choose one
or more options as per your actual needs.
- Sound: The MT95 issues a short beep to indicate a good read.
- Vibrating: The MT95 vibrates to indicate a good read.
- LED: The blue LED on the MT95 flashes once to indicate a good read.
Encoding
Choose a character encoding to interpret barcode data.
- AUTO: The terminal determines automatically if the target barcode uses UTF-8, GBK, ISO-8859-1, or windows-1251 encoding. If the terminal produces the wrong output, you may need to choose or enter a specific character encoding.
- UTF-8: Dominant Unicode encoding.
- GBK: A character encoding for Chinese characters.
- ISO-8859-1: A common character encoding that covers Western European languages.
- windows-1251: A character encoding designed to cover language that uses the Cyrillic alphabet such as Russian, Bulgarian, Serbian Cyrillic, and other languages.

terminal. Here we will take DE3 for example.
1D code: Enable or disable 1D symbologies and set other barcode parameters.
Below are remarks for ITF codes:
- The higher the security level, the lower the error rate of ITF code.
- The barcode reading performance at the higher security level is not as smooth as that at low security. Therefore, the default security level is 1. Increase the security level only when the error rate is high.
2D code: Enable or disable 2D symbologies and set other barcode parameters. Advanced: The features listed here are designed to improve the scanning performance and energy efficiency of the terminal.
- Acuscan Decoding: When selected, the terminal only decodes the barcode aimed squarely by the aiming pattern. It is advised to select it to ensure that only the desired barcodes are read if multiple barcodes are placed closely together.
- Multiple Barcodes: When selected, the terminal can decode multiple barcodes at the same time, and the maximum number of the barcodes can be set per actual needs.
- Other: Tap DETAIL to access the following parameter settings.
Noise Reduction: This feature is designed to reduce noise in images
produced by the terminal. However, the terminal shows a slight decrease in
scanning speed when using this feature. It is recommended to enable it only
when necessary.
