Terminal Tab

When Show Non-Printable Characters is checked, characters such as "CRLF" will be displayed in the Terminal window. When Enhanced Format is checked, the characters are displayed with more detailed formatting.

Change Keyboard Macros

In this dialog you can first select the function key and then enter your macro keystrokes in the associated key map. For example, to make Ctrl-F5 the keystroke to enable, send a trigger character, select F5, and then in the Ctrl row, enter <trigger character> and click OK. Then whenever the Ctrl-F5 keystroke is pressed, the trigger character will start the read cycle.

Bar Code Options Tab

The Bar Code Options dialog allows you to set the size (in mils) of user-created symbols.

Grade Report Options Tab

Show Report Options during `Generate Report'

Sets the symbol quality report output to show the complete array of report options.

Include Image

Sets the symbol quality report output to include a captured image of the symbol being analyzed. Bitmap and JPEG image formats are both available. Bitmap images, although higher resolution, have larger file sizes and take longer to load.

Advanced Tab

The Auto Sync dialog at the top of the Advanced tab allows you to determine whether Auto Sync will be automatically enabled in sections of ESP where it is used, or if it will ask you before it enables Auto Sync functions.

Always Ask Before Auto Sync Occurs

If you check this option box, you are then able to determine what specific Auto Sync functions will be enabled. Receive Settings from the Reader will automatically send the Imager's settings to ESP when Auto Sync is enabled. Send ESP Settings to the Reader will automatically send all Imager configuration settings chosen in ESP to the Imager. Do Not Send or Receive Settings creates a condition in which Auto Sync will not send Imager settings to ESP, or send ESP settings to the Imager.

Show Targeting Pattern During Calibrate and Locate

Allows you to determine whether the blue LED target pattern will be on or off during the Locate and Calibrate routines.
