EAS Operating Modes

Parameter #
977
In addition to EAS preferences, the following EAS operating modes for the scanner enable EAS functionality, independent of whether EAS equipment is connected.
The installer must match the mode with the installed equipment. Enabling a mode without EAS equipment, or with the wrong equipment installed, results in EAS error messages.
Select the appropriate mode to configure the scanner with the selected mode.

Sensormatic Auto Mode

This mode depends on the
Scan Enable Time
value the scanner reads from the Sensormatic ScanMax Pro control box, set by Sensormatic during installation.
  • If the
    Scan Enable Time
    equals 0 seconds or 30 seconds, the scanner operates in Sensormatic Scan Enable Interlock Mode.
  • If the
    Scan Enable Time
    is set from 1 - 29 seconds, tag deactivation is active following a barcode decode, and remains active until this timer expires.
More than one tag can be deactivated during this time.
Sensormatic Auto Mode (0)

Sensormatic Always Enable Deactivation Mode

Tag deactivation is always enabled when the scanner is powered on.
In this mode, the scanner always deactivates tags in the deactivation field.
Sensormatic Always Enable Deactivation Mode (1)

Sensormatic Barcode Interlock Mode

Tag deactivation is enabled only after a barcode is decoded.
The tag deactivation time uses the value set for Sensormatic Deactivation Timeout.
Tags in the deactivation field can also be deactivated during the deactivation time.
Sensormatic Barcode Interlock Mode (2)

Sensormatic Barcode Auto Interlock Mode

Tag deactivation is enabled only after a barcode is decoded. The deactivation state only lasts 1.2 seconds to avoid subsequent tag deactivation.
Sensormatic Barcode Auto Interlock Mode (3)

Barcode Hold Off Mode

If the scanner detects a tag, it does not decode barcodes (the scanner does not beep or transmit to the host) until the tag is deactivated.
A barcode decode does not occur if a hard tag is detected until the tag is removed from the detection field.
Barcode Hold Off Mode (4)

Sensormatic Scan Enable Interlock Mode

If the host (POS application) sends a
Scan Enable
message to the scanner, the deactivated tag is enabled. If the host sends a Scan Disable message, the deactivated tag is disabled.
Sensormatic Scan Enable Interlock Mode (5)

Checkpoint Barcode Interlock Mode

This mode enables Checkpoint tag deactivation for 3 seconds after a barcode is decoded. The Checkpoint device controls all audible and visual feedback (the scanner does not produce audio and visual feedback for tag detection or tag deactivation).
The Checkpoint installer can also set this in the Checkpoint device.
Checkpoint Barcode Interlock Mode (6)

Checkpoint Scan Enable Interlock Mode

If the host (POS application) sends a
Scan Enable
message to the scanner, tag deactivation is active. If the host sends a Scan Disable message, tag deactivation is inactive. Tag deactivation is enabled on power on.
Checkpoint Scan Enable Interlock Mode (7)

EAS LED On Mode

This mode turns on the EAS LED. If there is EAS equipment, it controls EAS tag detection and deactivation.
EAS LED On Mode (9)

EAS Disable Mode

EAS tags are not detected or deactivated.
EAS Disable Mode (8)
