Barcode scanning settings

Barcode scanning setting path: there are setting options in “Settings – Enterprise featured setting – Scanner Settings”.

1. Suspension button on/off;

2. Triggering Modes: manual scanning mode, automatic scanning mode and continuous scanning mode can be selected.

3. Output mode: Keystroke output and Intent output.

4. If some barcodes can be scanned, but the output data is incomplete and the last digit is missing, run “Scanner” application as shown in the figure to scan the barcode and view the barcode information. In this example, the barcode data is 6926648017320, and the actual data is 692664801732. The mantissa “0” is missing. The barcode symbology is EAN-13 based on the information feedback from Scan Demo. As shown in Figure, tap EAN-13 in “Symbology Settings”, and check “Send checksum”. The barcodes with other symbology can also be operated in this way.

5. If there are multiple barcodes on the label of good, it will be easy to scan mistakenly. You can run the “Scanner” application, tap the setting icon at the upper right corner, go to “Scanner Settings – Reader params”, check Configure Windowing and configure corresponding X and Y coordinates.

6. If the operation environment is noisy and it is difficult to hear the decoding prompt tone clearly, check Vibrate. There will be an additional vibration prompt when decoding successfully.
