Same Symbol Report Timeout (Parameter #1284, SSI #F8h 05h 04h)

This parameter affects how the Timeout Between Decodes, Same Symbol parameter is applied.

Scan one of the following bar codes to enable or disable the Same Symbol Report Timeout parameter. By default, this parameter is set to Disable.

• Disable — a bar code in the decode region decodes only once, even if the bar code remains indefinitely in the region. The user must remove the bar code and reintroduce the bar code into the region before it decodes a second time.
• Enable — a bar code in the decode region decodes each time the same symbol timeout expires. Use this mode when using fast two‑handed scanning of two of the same items. This usage scenario has a tendency to not decode the second of the two items. By enabling this mode, the second item unconditionally decodes after the same symbol timeout expires. After enabling this setting, the user may need to adjust the Timeout Between Decodes, Same Symbol (Parameter #137, SSI #89h) so that the second item does not decode too quickly.
