|
USB mode Response time |
Awake time from deep low consumption: 203ms Turn on time from power off to power on 287ms |
Awake time from deep low consumption: 117ms Turn on time from power off to power on 206ms |
3, Software modification description :
After upgrading, it does not support reading Hanxin code.
The default maximum length of the QR code has been changed to 6144.
EAN-8 includes 2/5 digit extra code’s AIMID has been changed from “]E4…]E1..”/“]E4…]E 2..” to “]E4”.
Conclusion remark:
All the other parts including the installation screw holes, dimensions,
configuration codes, barcode decoding, protocol commands, etc are completely the same as the old V3.0 version.
Upgrade Effective date: 20th Oct. 2020
