Appendix D Enabling or Disabling

Symbologies

The Cordless Hand Scanner is pre-set to automatically detect and decode
(auto-discriminate) the most common bar code symbologies. To enable or
disable symbologies, simply use SocketScan’s Symbology Selector.

Notes:
• The length of some symbologies will change after Symbology Selector is

used. See Table 1.

• With more symbologies enabled, the scanner must work harder to search

through all the possible combinations. This may make the decoding process
slightly longer.

• The advanced symbology parameters listed in Table 2 can only be modified

by using the SocketScan SDK. Check Socket’s website for updates.
