DS3608 Digital Scanner Product Reference Guide Scanning The DS3608 digital scanner is in hands-free (presentation) mode when it is placed in the Intellistand. In this mode, the digital scanner operates in continuous (constant-on) mode, where it automatically decodes a bar code presented in its field of view. When the digital scanner is not used for a user-definable period of time, it enters a low power mode in which the LEDs are turned off or illumination blinks at a low duty cycle until the digital scanner detects an image change (e.g. motion). Scanning in Hands-Free (Presentation) Mode The optional stand adds greater flexibility to DS3608 scanning operation. When the scanner is seated in the scanner cup, the scanner’s built-in sensor places the scanner in hands-free (presentation) mode. When the scanner is removed from the stand, it automatically switches to its programmed hand-held triggered mode. To operate the digital scanner in the Intellistand: 1. Connect the digital scanner to the host (see the appropriate host chapter for information on host connections).Scanning in Hands-Free Mode 2. Insert the digital scanner in the Intellistand by placing the front of the digital scanner into the scanner cup (see Figure 1). 3. Use the Intellistand’s adjustment knobs to adjust the height and angle of the digital scanner. 4. Center the symbol in the aiming pattern. 5. Upon successful decode, the digital scanner beeps and the LED turns green. For more information on beeper and LED definitions, see Table 2-1 on page 2-2. Scanner Cup Scanner Cup Angle Adjustment Intellistand Height Adjustment

Scanning in Hand-Held Mode Aim the digital scanner at a bar code and pull the trigger to decode. Figure 2-2 Scanning DS3608-SR in Hand-Held Mode Figure 2-3 Scanning DS3608-HP and DS3608-HD in Hand-Held Mode

DS3608 Digital Scanner Product Reference Guide Aiming with DS3608-SR When scanning, the DS3608-SR digital scanner projects an orange LED dot which allows positioning the bar code within its field of view. See Decode Ranges on page 2-8 for the proper distance to achieve between the digital scanner and a bar code. Figure 2-4 Aiming Dot If necessary, the digital scanner turns on its orange illumination LEDs to illuminate the target bar code. To scan a bar code, center the symbol and ensure the entire symbol is within the rectangular area formed by the illumination LEDs. Figure 2-5 Scanning Orientation with Aiming Dot for DS3608-SR The digital scanner can also read a bar code presented within the aiming dot not centered. The top examples in Figure show acceptable aiming options, while the bottom examples can not be decoded.I Figure 2-6 Acceptable and Incorrect Aiming for DS3608-SR The aiming dot is smaller when the digital scanner is closer to the symbol and larger when it is farther from the symbol. Scan symbols with smaller bars or elements (mil size) closer to the digital scanner, and those with larger bars or elements (mil size) farther from the digital scanner. The digital scanner beeps to indicate that it successfully decoded the bar code. For more information on beeper and LED definitions, see Table 2-1. 1D bar code 2D bar code

Aiming with DS3608-HP and DS3608-HD When scanning, the DS3608-HP and DS3608-HD projects a red laser aiming pattern which allows positioning the bar code within its field of view. See Decode Ranges on page 2-8 for the proper distance to achieve between the digital scanner and a bar code. Figure 2-7 DS3608-HP/DS3608-HD Imager Aiming Pattern If necessary, the digital scanner turns on its red LEDs to illuminate the target bar code. To scan a bar code, center the symbol in any orientation within the aiming pattern. Be sure the entire symbol is within the rectangular area formed by the cross pattern. The digital scanner can also read a bar code presented within the aiming pattern but not centered. The top examples in Figure 2-5 show acceptable aiming options, while the bottom examples can not be decoded.

3 - 3 Troubleshooting Table 3-1 Troubleshooting Problem Possible Causes Possible Solutions The aiming pattern does not appear when pressing the trigger. No power to the digital scanner. If the configuration requires a power supply, re-connect the power supply. Incorrect host interface cable is used. Connect the correct host interface cable. Interface/power cables are loose. Re-connect cables. Digital scanner is disabled. For IBM 468x and USB IBM hand-held, IBM table-top, and OPOS modes, enable the digital scanner via the host interface. Otherwise, see the technical person in charge of scanning. If using RS-232 Nixdorf B mode, CTS is not asserted. Assert CTS line. Aiming pattern is disabled. Enable the aiming pattern. See Hand-Held Decode Aiming Pattern on page 4-19. Digital scanner emits aiming pattern, but does not decode the bar code. Digital scanner is not programmed for the correct bar code type. Program the digital scanner to read that type of bar code. See Chapter 11, Symbologies. Bar code symbol is unreadable. Scan test symbols of the same bar code type to determine if the bar code is defaced. The symbol is not completely inside aiming pattern. Move the symbol completely within the aiming pattern. Move the symbol completely within the field of view (AIM pattern does NOT define FOV) Distance between digital scanner and bar code is incorrect. Move the scanner closer to or further from the bar code. See Decode Ranges on page 2-8.

DS3608 Digital Scanner Product Reference Guide Digital scanner decodes bar code, but does not transmit the data to the host. Digital scanner is not programmed for the correct host type. Scan the appropriate host type programming bar code. See the chapter corresponding to the host type. Interface cable is loose. Re-connect the cable. If the digital scanner emits 4 long low beeps, a transmission error occurred. This occurs if a unit is not properly configured or connected to the wrong host type. Set the scanner's communication parameters to match the host's setting. If the digital scanner emits 5 low beeps, a conversion or format error occurred. Configure the digital scanner's conversion parameters properly. If the digital scanner emits low/high/low beeps, it detected an invalid ADF rule. Program the correct ADF rules. Refer to the Advanced Data Formatting Programmer Guide. Host displays scanned data incorrectly. Digital scanner is not programmed to work with the host. Scan the appropriate host type programming bar code. For RS-232, set the digital scanner's communication parameters to match the host's settings. For a Keyboard Wedge configuration, program the system for the correct keyboard type, and turn off the CAPS LOCK key. Program the proper editing options (e.g., UPC-E to UPC-A Conversion). Digital scanner emits short low/short medium/short high beep sequence (power-up beep sequence) more than once. The USB bus may put the digital scanner in a state where power to the scanner is cycled on and off more than once. Normal during host reset. Digital scanner emits 4 short high beeps during decode attempt. Digital scanner has not completed USB initialization. Wait several seconds and scan again. Digital scanner emits Low/low/low/extra low beeps when not in use. RS-232 receive error. Normal during host reset. Otherwise, set the digital scanner's RS-232 parity to match the host setting. Digital scanner emits low/high beeps during programming. Input error, incorrect bar code or Cancel bar code was scanned. Scan the correct numeric bar codes within range for the parameter programmed. Table 3-1 Troubleshooting (Continued) Problem Possible Causes Possible Solutions

MISCELLANEOUS OPTIONS Introduction You can program the digital scanner to perform various functions, or activate different features. This chapter describes each user preference feature and provides programming bar codes for selecting these features. The digital scanner ships with the settings shown in Table 4-1 on page 4-2 (also see Appendix A, Standard Default Parameters for all defaults). If the default values suit requirements, programming is not necessary. To set feature values, scan a single bar code or a short bar code sequence. The settings are stored in non-volatile memory and are preserved even when the digital scanner is powered down. If not using a USB cable, select a host type (see each host chapter for specific host information) after the power-up beeps sound. This is only necessary upon the first power-up when connected to a new host. To return all features to default values, see Default Parameters on page 4-5. Throughout the programming bar code menus, asterisks indicate (*) default values. NOTE Most computer monitors allow scanning the bar codes directly on the screen. When scanning from the screen, be sure to set the document magnification to a level where you can see the bar code clearly, and bars and/or spaces are not merging. *High Volume (0) Feature/Option * Indicates Default Option Value

DS3608 Digital Scanner Product Reference Guide Scanning Sequence Examples In most cases, scanning one bar code sets the parameter value. For example, to set the beeper tone to high, scan the High Frequency (beeper tone) bar code listed under Beeper Tone on page 4-10. The digital scanner issues a fast warble beep and the LED turns green, signifying a successful parameter entry. Other parameters, such as Decode Session Timeout or Data Transmission Formats, require scanning several bar codes. See these parameter descriptions for this procedure. Errors While Scanning Unless otherwise specified, to correct an error during a scanning sequence, just re-scan the correct parameter. User Preferences/Miscellaneous Options Parameter Defaults Table 4-1 lists defaults for user preferences parameters. To change the default values: • Scan the appropriate bar codes in this guide. These new values replace the standard default values in memory. To recall the default parameter values, see Default Parameters on page 4-5. • Configure the digital scanner using the 123Scan2 configuration program (see Chapter 14, 123Scan2). NOTE See Appendix A, Standard Default Parameters for all user preferences, hosts, symbologies, and miscellaneous default parameters.

Hands-free Decode Session Timeout Parameter # 400 (SSI # F0h 90h) This parameter is the hands-free compliment to the Decode Session Timeout. It configures the minimum and maximum decode processing time during a hands-free scan attempt. It only applies to the hands-free trigger mode or when a scanner is placed in an Intellistand. The minimum decode processing time is defined as the time in which the scanner stops decoding when an object is removed or left stationary in the imaging field of view. The maximum decode processing time is defined as the time in which the scanner stops decoding when an object is left in or is moving in the field of view. Both the maximum and minimum times are configured using a single setting. The relationship of this setting is as follows: For example, a setting value of 100 results in the scanner turning off approximately 1 second after an object is removed from the field of view or 10 seconds while an object is in the field of view moving. The default value of the setting is 15 which results in a Minimum time of 250 ms and Maximum time of 1.5 seconds. Adjust this setting based on your requirements. For example, when doing PDF prioritization, this parameter should be set to a value where the maximum time is above the PDF prioritization timeout. Scan this bar code followed by three digits from Appendix G, Numeric Bar Codes that correspond to the desired value (valid range is 2 - 255). Setting Value Minimum Time Maximum Time X < 25 250 ms 2.5 Seconds X >= 25 X * 10 ms X * 100 ms Hands-free Decode Session Timeout

Timeout Between Decodes, Same Symbol Parameter # 137 (SSI # 89h) Use this option in Continuous Bar Code Read mode to prevent the beeper from continuously beeping when a symbol is left in the digital scanner’s field of view. The bar code must be out of the field of view for the timeout period before the digital scanner reads the same consecutive symbol. It is programmable in 0.1 second increments from 0.0 to 9.9 seconds. The default interval is 0.5 seconds. To select the timeout between decodes for the same symbol, scan the bar code below, then scan two numeric bar codes from Appendix G, Numeric Bar Codes that correspond to the desired interval, in 0.1 second increments. Timeout Between Decodes, Same Symbol

Timeout Between Decodes, Different Symbols Parameter # 144 (SSI # 90h) Use this option in presentation mode or Continuous Bar Code Read to control the time the digital scanner is inactive between decoding different symbols. It is programmable in 0.1 second increments from 0.1 to 9.9 seconds. The default is 0.1 seconds. To select the timeout between decodes for different symbols, scan the bar code below, then scan two numeric bar codes from Appendix G, Numeric Bar Codes that correspond to the desired interval, in 0.1 second increments. NOTE Timeout Between Decodes, Different Symbols cannot be greater than or equal to the Decode Session Timeout. Timeout Between Decodes, Different Symbols

Decode Mirror Images (Data Matrix Only) Parameter # 537 (SSI # F1h 19h) Select an option for decoding mirror image Data Matrix bar codes: • Always - decode only Data Matrix bar codes that are mirror images • Never - do not decode Data Matrix bar codes that are mirror images • Auto - decode both mirrored and unmirrored Data Matrix bar codes. Never (0) Always (1) *Auto (2)

Mobile Phone/Display Mode Parameter # 716 (SSI # F1h CCh) This mode improves bar code reading performance off mobile phones and electronic displays. Select Enhanced in hand-held, hands-free, or both modes, or select Normal Mobile Phone/Display Mode. *Normal Mobile Phone/Display Mode (0) Enhanced in Hand-Held Mode (1) Enhanced in Hands-Free Mode (2) Enhanced in Both Modes (3)

PDF Prioritization Parameter # 719 (SSI # F1h CFh) Enable this feature to delay decoding a 1D bar code (Code 128) by the value specified in PDF Prioritization Timeout. During that time the digital scanner attempts to decode a PDF417 symbol (e.g., on a US driver's license), and if successful, reports this only. If it does not decode (can not find) a PDF417 symbol, it reports the 1D symbol after the timeout. The 1D symbol must be in the device’s field of view for the digital scanner to report it. This parameter does not affect decoding other symbologies.. NOTE The 1D Code 128 bar code lengths include the following: • 7 to 10 characters • 14 to 17 characters • 27 to 28 characters In addition, a Code 39 bar code with the following lengths are considered to potentially be part of a US driver’s license: • 8 characters • 12 characters *Disable PDF Prioritization (0) Enable PDF Prioritization (1)

PDF Prioritization Timeout Parameter # 720 (SSI # F1h D0h) When PDF Prioritization is enabled, this timeout specifies how long the digital scanner attempts to decode a PDF417 symbol before reporting the 1D bar code in the field of view. Scan the following bar code, then scan four digits fromAppendix G, Numeric Bar Codes that specify the timeout in milliseconds. For example, to enter 400 ms, scan the following bar code, then scan 0400. The range is 0 to 5000 ms, and the default is 200 ms. NOTE The Hands-free Decode Session Timeout on page 4-24 should be set to a longer duration than PDF Prioritization Timeout when configured. PDF Prioritization Timeout

Presentation Mode Field of View Parameter # 609 (SSI # F1h 61h) In presentation mode, by default the digital scanner searches the larger area of the aiming pattern (Full Field of View). To search for a bar code in a smaller region around the aiming dot’s center in order to speed search time, select Small Field of View or Medium Field of View. Small Field of View (0) Medium Field of View (1) *Full Field of View (2)

Decoding Illumination Parameter # 298 (SSI # F0h 2Ah) Selecting Enable Decoding Illumination causes the digital scanner to flash illumination to aid decoding. Select Disable Decoding Illumination to prevent the digital scanner from using decoding illumination. Enabling illumination usually results in superior images. The effectiveness of the illumination decreases as the distance to the target increases. *Enable Decoding Illumination (1) Disable Decoding Illumination (0)

Motion Tolerance (Hand-Held Trigger Modes Only) Parameter # 858 (SSI # F2h 5Ah) Less Motion Tolerance provides optimal decoding performance on 1D bar codes. To increase motion tolerance and speed decoding when scanning a series of 1D bar codes in rapid progression, scan More Motion Tolerance. *Less Motion Tolerance (0) More Motion Tolerance (1)

Miscellaneous Scanner Parameters Add an Enter Key To add an Enter key (carriage return/line feed) after scanned data, scan the following bar code. To program other prefixes and/or suffixes, see Prefix/Suffix Values on page 4-35. Transmit Code ID Character Parameter # 45 (SSI # 2Dh) A Code ID character identifies the code type of a scanned bar code. This is useful when decoding more than one code type. In addition to any single character prefix already selected, the Code ID character is inserted between the prefix and the decoded symbol. Select no Code ID character, a Symbol Code ID character, or an AIM Code ID character. For Code ID characters, see Symbol Code Identifiers on page E-1 and Programming Reference on page E-1. Add Enter Key (Carriage Return/Line Feed) NOTE If you enable Symbol Code ID Character or AIM Code ID Character, and enable Transmit “No Read” Message on page 4-38, the digital scanner appends the code ID for Code 39 to the NR message. Symbol Code ID Character (2) AIM Code ID Character (1) *None (0)

Prefix/Suffix Values Key Category Parameter # P = 99, S1 = 98, S2 = 100 (SSI # P = 63h, S1 = 62h, S2 = 64h) Decimal Value Parameter # P = 105, S1 = 104, S2 = 106 (SSI # P = 69h, S1 = 68h, S2 = 6Ah) You can append a prefix and/or one or two suffixes to scan data for use in data editing. To set a value for a prefix or suffix, scan a four-digit number (i.e., four bar codes from Appendix G, Numeric Bar Codes) that corresponds to that value. SeeAppendix H, ASCII Character Sets for the four-digit codes. When using host commands to set the prefix or suffix, set the key category parameter to 1, then set the 3-digit decimal value. See Appendix H, ASCII Character Sets for the four-digit codes. The default prefix and suffix value is 7013 (the Enter key). To correct an error or change a selection, scan Cancel on page G-2. NOTE To use Prefix/Suffix values, first set the Scan Data Transmission Format on page 4-36. Scan Prefix (7) Scan Suffix 1 (6) Scan Suffix 2 (8) Data Format Cancel

Scan Data Transmission Format Parameter # 235 (SSI # EBh) To change the scan data format, scan one of the following eight bar codes corresponding to the desired format. To set values for the prefix and/or suffix, see Prefix/Suffix Values on page 4-35. NOTE If using this parameter do not use ADF rules to set the prefix/suffix. *Data As Is (0) (1) (2) (3) (4)

FN1 Substitution Values Key Category Parameter # 103 (SSI # 67h) Decimal Value Parameter # 109 (SSI # 6Dh) The wedge and USB HID keyboard hosts support a FN1 Substitution feature. Enabling this substitutes any FN1 character (0x1b) in an EAN128 bar code with a value. This value defaults to 7013 (Enter Key). When using host commands to set the FN1 substitution value, set the key category parameter to 1, then set the 3-digit keystroke value. See the ASCII Character Set table for the current host interface for the desired value. To select a FN1 substitution value via bar code menus: 1. Scan the bar code below. 2. Locate the keystroke desired for FN1 Substitution in the ASCII Character Set table for the current host interface. Enter the 4-digit ASCII Value by scanning each digit in Appendix G, Numeric Bar Codes. To correct an error or change the selection, scan Cancel. To enable FN1 substitution for USB HID keyboard, scan the Enable FN1 Substitution bar code on page 4-37. Scan Data Transmission Format (continued) (5) (6) (7) Set FN1 Substitution Value

Enable this to transmit the characters NR when a successful decode does not occur before trigger release or the Decode Session Timeout expires. See Decode Session Timeout on page 4-23. Disable this to send nothing to the host if a symbol does not decode. NOTE If you enable Transmit No Read, and also enable Symbol Code ID Character or AIM Code ID Character for Transmit Code ID Character on page 4-34, the digital scanner appends the code ID for Code 39 to the NR message. Enable No Read (1) *Disable No Read (0)

Unsolicited Heartbeat Interval Parameter # 1118 (SSI # F8h 04h 5Eh) The imager supports sending Unsolicited Heartbeat Messages to assist in diagnostics. To enable this feature and set the desired unsolicited heartbeat interval, scan one of the time interval bar codes below, or scan Set Another Interval followed by four numeric bar codes from Appendix G, Numeric Bar Codes (scan sequential numbers that correspond to the desired number of seconds). The range is 0 - 9999. Scan Disable Unsolicited Heartbeat Interval to turn off the feature. The heartbeat event is sent as decode data (with no decode beep) in the form of: MOTEVTHB:nnn where nnn is a three-digit sequence number starting at 001 and wrapping after 100. 10 seconds (10) 1 minute (60) Set Another Interval *Disable Unsolicited Heartbeat Interval (0)

Introduction You can program the digital scanner to perform various functions, or activate different features. This chapter describes imaging preference features and provides programming bar codes for selecting these features. The digital scanner ships with the settings in Imaging Preferences Parameter Defaults on page 5-2 (also see Appendix A, Standard Default Parameters for all host device and miscellaneous defaults). If the default values suit requirements, programming is not necessary. To set feature values, scan a single bar code or a short bar code sequence. The settings are stored in non-volatile memory and are preserved even when you power down the digital scanner. To return all features to default values, scan the Set Factory Defaults on page 4-5. Throughout the programming bar code menus, asterisks (*) indicate default values. NOTE Only the Symbol Native API (SNAPI) with Imaging interface supports image capture. See USB Device Type on page 6-5 to enable this host. NOTE Most computer monitors allow scanning the bar codes directly on the screen. When scanning from the screen, be sure to set the document magnification to a level where you can see the bar code clearly, and bars and/or spaces are not merging.

DS3608 Digital Scanner Product Reference Guide Scanning Sequence Examples In most cases scanning one bar code sets the parameter value. For example, to disable image capture illumination, scan the Disable Image Capture Illumination bar code under Image Capture Illumination on page 5-5. The digital scanner issues a fast warble beep and the LED turns green, signifying a successful parameter entry. Other parameters require scanning several bar codes. See these parameter descriptions for this procedure. Errors While Scanning Unless otherwise specified, to correct an error during a scanning sequence, just re-scan the correct parameter. Imaging Preferences Parameter Defaults Table 5-1 lists the defaults for imaging preferences parameters. To change the default values, scan the appropriate bar codes in this guide. These new values replace the standard default values in memory. To recall the default parameter values, scan *Restore Defaults on page 4-5. NOTE See Appendix A, Standard Default Parameters for all user preferences, hosts, symbologies, and miscellaneous default parameters.

DS3608 Digital Scanner Product Reference Guide Imaging Preferences The parameters in this chapter control image capture characteristics. Image capture occurs in all modes of operation, including decode, video, and snapshot. Operational Modes The digital scanner has three modes of operation: • Decode Mode • Snapshot Mode • Video Mode. Decode Mode By default, when you pull the trigger the digital scanner attempts to locate and decode enabled bar codes within its field of view. The digital scanner remains in this mode until it decodes a bar code or you release the trigger. Snapshot Mode Use Snapshot Mode to capture a high-quality image and transmit it to the host. To temporarily enter this mode scan the Snapshot Mode bar code. While in this mode the digital scanner blinks the green LED at 1-second intervals to indicate it is not in standard operating (decode) mode. In Snapshot Mode, the digital scanner turns on its aiming pattern to highlight the area to capture in the image. The next trigger pull instructs the digital scanner to capture a high quality image and transmit it to the host. A short time may pass (less than 2 seconds) between when the trigger is pulled and the image is captured as the digital scanner adjusts to the lighting conditions. Hold the digital scanner steady until the image is captured, denoted by a single beep. If you do not press the trigger within the Snapshot Mode Timeout period, the digital scanner returns to Decode Mode. Use Snapshot Mode Timeout on page 5-8 to adjust this timeout period. The default timeout period is 30 seconds. To disable the aiming pattern during Snapshot Mode, see Snapshot Aiming Pattern on page 5-9. Video Mode In this mode the digital scanner behaves as a video camera as long as you press the trigger. Release the trigger to return the digital scanner to Decode Mode. Scan this bar code to temporarily enter Video Capture Mode. Snapshot Mode Video Mode

Image Capture Illumination Parameter # 361 (SSI # F0h 69h) Selecting Enable Image Capture Illumination causes illumination to turn on during every image capture. Disable illumination to prevent the digital scanner from using illumination. Enabling illumination usually results in superior images. The effectiveness of illumination decreases as the distance to the target increases. Image Capture Autoexposure Parameter # 360 (SSI # F0h 68h) Select Enable Image Capture Autoexposure to allow the digital scanner to control gain settings and exposure (integration) time to best capture an image for the selected operation mode. Select Disable Image Capture Autoexposure to manually adjust the gain and exposure time (see the following pages). This option is only recommended for advanced users with difficult image capture situations. *Enable Image Capture Illumination (1) Disable Image Capture Illumination (0) *Enable Image Capture Autoexposure (1) Disable Image Capture Autoexposure (0)

DS3608 Digital Scanner Product Reference Guide Fixed Exposure Parameter # 567 (SSI # F4h F1h 37h) Type: Word Range: 5 - 1000 This parameter configures the exposure used in manual mode for Snapshot and Video modes. Each integer value represents 100 μs worth of exposure. The default value is 100 which results in an exposure setting of 10 ms. To set the Fixed Exposure parameter, scan Fixed Exposure followed by four numeric bar codes representing the value. Leading zeros are required. For example, to set a Fixed Exposure value of 99, scan 0, 0, 9, 9. See Appendix G, Numeric Bar Codes for numeric bar codes. Fixed Gain Parameter # 568 (SSI # F1h 38h) Type: Byte Range 1 - 100 This parameter configures the gain setting used in manual mode for Snapshot and Video modes. A value of 1 indicates that gain is not used for image capture. A value of 100 indicates that maximum gain is used for image capture. The default value of this parameter is 50. To set the Fixed Gain parameter, scan Fixed Gain below followed by three numeric bar codes representing the value. Leading zeros are required. For example, to set a Fixed Gain value of 99, scan 0, 9, 9. See Appendix G, Numeric Bar Codes for numeric bar codes. Fixed Exposure (4 digits) Fixed Gain

Gain/Exposure Priority for Snapshot Mode Parameter # 562 (SSI # F1h 32h) This parameter alters the digital scanner’s gain exposure priority when it acquires an image in Snapshot Mode in auto exposure mode. • Scan Low Exposure Priority to set a mode in which the digital scanner favors higher gain over exposure to capture an image. This results in an image that is less susceptible to motion blur at the expense of noise artifacts. However, for most applications, the amount of noise is acceptable. • Scan Low Gain Priority to set a mode in which the digital scanner favors longer exposure time rather than higher gain to capture an image. This ensures that the image is less noisy and produces fewer artifacts during post processing activities like image enhancement (sharpening). The mode is recommended for fixed mount / fixed object image capture since the image acquired is susceptible to motion blur. • Scan Autodetect (default) to set a mode in which the digital scanner automatically selects Gain Priority or Low Exposure Priority mode for Snapshot Mode. If the digital scanner is in a magnetic reed switch enabled stand (or it is configured in Blink Mode), it uses Low Gain Priority mode. Otherwise, it uses the Low Exposure Priority mode. Low Gain Priority (0) Low Exposure Priority (1) * Autodetect (2)

DS3608 Digital Scanner Product Reference Guide Snapshot Mode Timeout Parameter # 323 (SSI # F0h 43h) This parameter sets the amount of time the digital scanner remains in Snapshot Mode. The digital scanner exits Snapshot Mode when you pull the trigger, or when the Snapshot Mode Timeout elapses. To set this timeout value, scan the Set Snapshot Mode Timeout bar code below followed by a bar code from Appendix G, Numeric Bar Codes. The default value is 0 which represents 30 seconds; values increment by 30. For example, 1 = 60 seconds, 2 = 90 seconds, etc. To quickly re-set the default timeout to 30 seconds, scan the 30 Seconds bar code below. If you select No Timeout, the digital scanner remains in Snapshot Mode until you pull the trigger. Set Snapshot Mode Timeout *30 Seconds No Timeout
