Deactivation Override Button

Parameter #
981
This parameter determines if pressing the EAS button on the scanner deactivates soft tags on items without decoding the barcode on the item.
If you select Enable EAS Deactivation Override Button, the operator can press the EAS button on the scanner to override EAS settings. After pressing the button, the operator has 3 seconds to present a soft tag for deactivation. During this period barcodes are not decoded. The scanner exits override mode and returns to normal operation after a tag deactivation or the 3 second timeout.
Enabling this override is useful in the following situations:
  • In Interlock mode, if a barcode cannot be scanned, the operator must manually enter the barcode data. After entering the data and pressing the EAS button, the operator has 3 seconds to present a soft tag to deactivate.
  • If a barcode is scanned but the tag was not deactivated, the operator cannot pass the item through the deactivation area a second time to deactivate the tag. This would decode the barcode a second time, charging the item twice. Instead, after pressing the EAS button, the operator can present a soft tag for deactivation within the next 3 seconds without re-decoding the barcode.
