9 - 24 DS8108 Digital Scanner Product Reference Guide
Decode Session Timeout
Parameter # 136
SSI # 88h
This parameter sets the maximum time decode processing continues during a scan attempt. It is programmable in
0.1 second increments from 0.5 to 9.9 seconds. The default timeout is 9.9 seconds.
To set a Decode Session Timeout, scan the following bar code, and then scan two bar codes from Appendix B,
Numeric Bar Codes that correspond to the desired on time. Enter a leading zero for single digit numbers. For
example, to set a Decode Session Timeout of 0.5 seconds, scan this bar code, and then scan the 0 and 5 bar
codes. To correct an error or change the selection, scan Cancel on page B-3
.
Hands-free Decode Session Timeout
Parameter # 400
SSI # F0h 90h
This parameter sets the minimum and maximum time decode processing continues during a hands-free scan
attempt, and only applies when the scanner is in hands-free trigger mode or the gooseneck stand.
The minimum decode processing time is 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 the time in which the scanner stops decoding when an object is left in or
is moving in the field of view.
A single setting configures both maximum and minimum times. The relationship of this setting is as follows:
For example, a setting value of 100 turns off decoding approximately 1 second after an object is removed from the
field of view or 10 seconds when a moving object is in the field of view.
The default value is 15 which results in a minimum time of 250 ms and maximum time of 2.5 seconds.
Adjust this setting based on requirements. For example, for PDF prioritization, set this parameter to a value where
the maximum time is above the PDF prioritization timeout.
To set a three-digit timeout value, scan the following bar code, and then scan three bar codes from Appendix B,
Numeric Bar Codes that correspond to the desired value. Enter a leading zero for single digit numbers. To correct
an error or change the selection, scan Cancel on page B-3
