| Symbology Type | Expected Value | Zebra RSM OPOS Return Value | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| UPC-A with supplemental bar code | SCAN_SDT_UPCA_S | SCAN_SDT_UPCA | Nixdorf Mode B cannot distinguish UPCA since it identifies bar code types UPCA, UPCA_S, EAN13, EAN13_S, and BOOKLAND as one type. |

For example, if a scanner is exclusively claimed by an application, other applications cannot claim it or send management commands to that scanner. 0 = OPOS claim exclusivity is not required for all scanners in the logical device. 1 = OPOS claim is exclusive to all scanners in the logical device. Any other value = OPOS claim is able to claim at least one scanner in the logical device. |

Table 6: Registry Keys for OPOS Scale Logical Names
| Value Name | Sample Data | Description |
|---|---|---|
| (Default) | ScaleOPOS.ScalSO | Service object name of the Scale OPOS. |
| DeviceDescription | Zebra Technologies Scale logical device | Logical device description. |
| ExclusiveClaimLevel | 0 1 |
0 =OPOS Scale service object does not get exclusive access of the device on claiming the device. This may be required if an application needs to access both scanner and scale of the MP6200 scanner at same time. 1 =Scale service object does claim the device exclusively so that no other POS application can access the device. |
| LiveWeightFrequency | 2 | Number of live weight events per second (values from 1 to 100). |
| NoTimeOutOnReadWeight | 0 1 |
0 = ReadWeight method returns OPOS_E_TIMEOUT if no valid weight data is retrieved before the time out elapse. 1 = ReadWeight method does not return OPOS_E_TIMEOUT if no valid weight data is retrieved before the time out elapse. It always reports OPOS_SUCCESS as result code. |
| ZeroValidOveride | 0 1 |
0 = ReadWeight does not accept zero weight as a valid reading. 1 = ReadWeight does accept zero weight as a valid reading. |

Table 8: Registry Keys for Scanner OPOS Driver - Applies to all Scanner OPOS Logical Names
| Value Name | Values | Description |
|---|---|---|
| AutoDisableControl | 0 = Disable 1 = Enable |
0 = Normal AutoDisable property operation. 1 = Automatically disables the scanner after each data event regardless of the value of OPOS property AutoDisable. |
| AutoDisableDelay | 0 | Delay in milliseconds to disable the scanner automatically after each data event. Default value is 0. |
| DataEventAutoDisableControl | 0 = Disable 1 = Enable |
0 = Normal DataEventEnable operation. 1 = Scanner SO overrides the value of OPOS property DataEventEnable and always delivers the data events to application layer. |
| DataEventDelay | 0 | Minimum time gap in milliseconds between two decode data events. Default value is 0 ms. |
| EnableTrace | 0 = Disable 1 = Enable |
Enable or disable debug/engineering message entries to the log file specified by LogFilePath. |
| InterCommandDelay | 0 | Minimum time gap in milliseconds between OPOS method calls. Default value is 0 ms. |
| LogFilePath | \Program Files\Zebra Technologies\Barcode Scanners\Scanner SDK\OPOS\Scanner OPOS\bin\Logs\stiopos.txt | Path and filename for log file if EnableTrace is enabled. |
| SetDeviceEnableStateOnFailure | 0 = Disable 1 = Enable |
0 = Normal Result Code operation 1 = Regardless of the result of DeviceEnable call, Result Code is set to OPOS_SUCCESS. |
| SetEnableDisableOnEvent | 0 = Disable 1 = Enable |
0 = Normal Enable/Disable operation 1 = SO keeps the device Enable/Disable state in same state as SO DeviceEnable state. If an external application changes the device state, the SO immediately corrects it. |
| SetHardwareAutoDisableState | 0 = Disable 2 = Enable |
Controls the hardware ‘Scan Disable Mode’ setting on the scanner itself. 0 = Normal operation 2 = The SO sets the ‘Scan Disable Mode’ on the scanner to ‘Auto Disable’. This disables scanning after transmission of a bar code, and remains disabled until the host sends a Scan Enable. This feature is not supported by all scanner models. |
| SyncDeviceEnableStateOnDiscovery | 0 = Disable 1 = Enable |
Sync a newly connected device’s enable / disable state with the current enable / disable state of the OPOS driver. This is helpful if a new scanner is connected to a POS system where it already has a connected scanner. At the time the new scanner is connected, if the state of the OPOS SO is ‘device disabled’ the newly connected scanner should also has to change its state to ‘device disable’. This synchronization will be performed if “SyncDeviceEnableStateOnDiscovery” is enabled. |
