IBM 46xx Code 39 Conversion
This feature enables/disables the scanner's ability to set the symbology identifier for the specified symbology to Code 39 before sending the label data to an IBM host. This applies to: Code 128, Code 93 and Codabar for IBM Port 5B; Code 93 and Codabar for IBM Port 9B.
This feature is for IBM port 5B and IBM port 9B.
NOTES
IBM-USB Device Type
The IBM-USB protocol allows for the scanner to be identified as one of two different types of barcode scanners. Depending on what other scanners you may already have connected to a IBM-USB POS, you may need to change this setting to enable all scanners to communicate. Options are:
· · Table Top Scanner Handheld Scanner
This feature applies only to the IBM USB interface.
NOTES
IBM Maximum Host-Transmitted Message Length
Specifies the maximum number of data characters allowed in messages transmitted to an IBM host.
If this configuration item is set to zero, there is no general length limit imposed on data being transmitted to the host.

Scanning
Scanning Mode
Good-read off: The trigger button must be pressed to activate scanning.
The light source of the QS2500 stops scanning when there is a successful read or no code is decoded after the standby duration has elapsed.
Momentary: The trigger button acts as a switch. Pressing the button acti-
vates scanning and releasing the button stops scanning.
Alternate: The trigger button acts as a toggle switch. Timeout off: The trigger button must be pressed to activate scanning, and
the QS2500 stops scanning when no code is decoded after the standby duration has elapsed.
Continue: The QS2500 always keeps reading, and it does not matter whether the trigger button is pressed or the standby duration has elapsed. Test only: The QS2500 always keeps a constant reading, and same-label reading is allowed without double confirmation. The feature can test the performance of the QS2500 for reading speed and sensitivity.
Standby Duration
A timeout duration of 1 to 99 seconds can be set. It is effective only when the CCD scanning mode is operated in timeout-off mode and good-read off mode.
Same Bar Code Delay Time
If the bar code has been scanned twice, then only the first bar code will be accepted.

Double Confirm
If this option is enabled, the QS2500 will require a several successful decodings to confirm the bar code data. If a double confirm is set, the multifield scan function will be disabled.

Global Minimum/Maximum Code Length: Global minimum and maximum
length can be set to qualify data entry. Make sure that the minimum-length setting is no greater than the maximum-length setting; otherwise, the labels of the symbology will not be readable. In particular, you can set the same value for both minimum and maximum lengths to force decoding of only fixed-length bar codes. This setting has no effect on certain symbologies of fixed length.
NOTE
Set the minimum/maximum length if you have a special demand for individual bar codes. Include the checksum digits if you want to set global minimum/maximum code length.

Inverted Image Scan: With this option enabled, the QS2500 will scan
black/white bar codes with a white/black background.
CTS Trigger: This operation enables an external device to control scanning by applying an external trigger signal to the CTS input. When active, this signal causes scanning to begin as the QS2500's trigger is depressed. Visible Scan Field Indicator: This function allows a visible indicator to be
emitted when the trigger is pulled.
