# Training

By default, the reader will attempt to decode a symbol using all enabled symbologies on the General tab. Training the reader with the expected symbology can decrease the time required to decode successive symbols, as the reader does not have to cycle through enabled symbologies. Be aware, however, that the reader will fail to decode a symbol if it appears in a symbology other than what it has been trained to use.

Use the Training tab to control the status of trained symbologies.

The Setup tool disables symbologies that the reader is not trained to expect unless you clear the Disable Untrained Symbologies checkbox and enable Incremental Training.

Train Code button

Click Train Code on the Actions top pane after the reader has captured an image of a symbol with a symbology you expect to occur over successive images.

If you are only reading symbols of a particular symbology, clicking Train Code will prepare the reader for that symbology in all successive images until you click Untrain Code (you can find the Untrain Code button on the Symbology Settings pane as well).

After successful training, the Model Information for the trained symbologies will display the expected size for incoming symbols, and the Untrain Code button is enabled.

Training when I want to decode multiple symbols

The Setup tool allows you to train the reader to expect more than one symbology in applications where multiple symbols will be decoded.

If you have a single image showing all the expected symbologies, click Train Code on the Actions top pane to train the reader. The Model Information for the trained symbologies will display the expected size for incoming symbols, and the Untrain Code buttons for those symbologies will be enabled.

If you cannot present a single image showing all the expected symbologies, check Incremental Training and click Train Code for the symbologies that are present in the image. Then capture images of other symbologies you want to train for and click Train Code to add them to the existing set of symbologies the reader is trained to decode. With Incremental Training enabled, you can present and train new symbologies while the reader retains existing training parameters.

Train Orientation

Only for 1D, Stacked and Postal symbols, check Train Orientation to train the reader with the angle of the latest decoded symbol. Subsequent, decoding operations will be faster if the symbols appear at the trained angle.

NOTE: Postal codes can only be decoded if presented in picket fence position.

Return the reader to decoding symbols of any symbology after training

You must click Untrain Code for any trained symbology to allow the reader to decode any symbol regardless of symbology. Be aware, however, that the symbol must be enabled on the General tab for the reader to recognize it.

Manual Code Training

If you know all the parameters of the codes you are going to train the device for, you can provide these parameters under Manual Code Training. After all the parameters are given, tick the Is Valid box to train the code. You can untrain the code from now on by clicking Untrain Code above.
