Hands Free Time-Out
The Scan Stand and Presentation Modes are referred to as “hands free” modes.  If the scanner’s trigger is pulled when using a 
hands free mode, the scanner changes to manual trigger mode.  You can set the time the scanner should remain in manual trig-
ger mode by setting the Hands Free Time-Out.  Once the time-out value is reached, (if there have been no further trigger pulls) 
the scanner reverts to the original hands free mode.  
Scan the Hands Free Time-Out bar code, then...

2D Reread Delay
Sometimes 2D bar codes can take longer to read than other bar codes.  If you wish to set a separate Reread Delay for 2D 
bar codes, scan one of the programming codes that follows.  2D Reread Delay Off indicates that the time set for Reread 
Delay is used for both 1D and 2D bar codes. Default = 2D Reread Delay Off.
Character Activation Mode
You may use a character sent from the host to trigger the scanner to begin scanning.  When the activation character is received, 
the scanner...

Activation Character
This sets the character used to trigger scanning when using Character Activation Mode.  On the ASCII Conversion Chart 
(Code Page 1252), page A-3, find the hex value that represents the character you want to use to trigger scanning.  Scan 
the following bar code, then use the Programming Chart to read the alphanumeric combination that represents that ASCII 
character.  Scan Save to finish.  Default = 12 [DC2].
End Character Activation After Good Read
After a bar code is...

Deactivation Character
This sets the character used to terminate scanning when using Character Deactivation Mode.  On the ASCII Conversion 
Chart (Code Page 1252), page A-3, find the hex value that represents the character you want to use to terminate scanning.  
Scan the following bar code, then use the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual to read the alphanu-
meric combination that represents that ASCII character.  Scan Save to finish.  Default = 14 [DC4].

User-Specified Aimer Delay
If you want to set your own length for the duration of the delay, scan the bar code below, then set the time-out by scanning 
digits (0 - 4,000 ms) from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual, then scan Save.
Aimer Mode
This feature allows you to turn the aimer on and off.  When the Interlaced bar code is scanned, the aimer is interlaced with the 
illumination LEDs.  Default = Interlaced
Note: Granit 1980i and 1981i do not support Aimer Mode....

In the example below, the white box is the centering window.  The centering window has been set to 20% left, 30% right, 8% top, 
and 25% bottom.  Since Bar Code 1 passes through the centering window, it will be read.  Bar Code 2 does not pass through 
the centering window, so it will not be read.
Note: A bar code needs only to be touched by the centering window in order to be read.  It does not need to pass completely 
through the centering window.
Scan Centering On, then scan one of the following...

Preferred Symbology
The scanner can be programmed to specify one symbology as a higher priority over other symbologies in situations where both 
bar code symbologies appear on the same label, but the lower priority symbology cannot be disabled.
For example, you may be using the scanner in a retail setting to read U.P.C. symbols, but have occasional need to read a code 
on a drivers license.  Since some licenses have a Code 39 symbol as well as the PDF417 symbol, you can use Preferred Sym-
bology...

4 - 20
If you want to set additional low priority symbologies, scan FF, then scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart 
for the next symbology.  You can program up to 5 low priority symbologies.  Scan Save to save your selection.  Default = 
None.
Preferred Symbology Time-out
Once you have enabled Preferred Symbology and entered the high and low priority symbologies, you must set the time-out 
period.  This is the period of time the scanner will search for a high priority bar code after a low...

This exits without saving any Output Sequence changes.
Output Sequence Example
In this example, you are scanning Code 93, Code 128, and Code 39 bar codes, but you want the scanner to output Code 39 
1st, Code 128 2nd, and Code 93 3rd, as shown below.
Note: Code 93 must be enabled to use this example.
You would set up the sequence editor...
