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.
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.
