Thermal Considerations

Electronic components in the FM550 will generate heat during the course of their operation. Operating the FM550 in continuous mode for an extended period may cause temperatures to rise on CPU, LEDs, DC-DC, etc. Overheating can degrade image quality and affect scanning performance. Given that, the following precautions should be taken into consideration when integrating the FM550.

✧ Reserve sufficient space for good air circulation in the design.
◇ Avoid wrapping the FM550 with thermal insulation materials such as rubber.

Maintenance

✨ The scan window should be kept clean.
Do not scratch the scan window.
Use the soft cloth to clean the window, such as eyeglass cleaning cloth.
Do not spray any liquid on the scan window.
Do not use any detergent to clean other parts of the device except for water.
Please remove the protective film before use.

Note: The warranty DOES NOT cover damages caused by inappropriate care and maintenance.

Caution

1. Protect the lens of the sensor from contamination.2. Follow the regulations below, otherwise it may cause harmful exposure to radiation.-The aiming LED can be programmed off first when there is no need to adjust the position.-Do not disassemble the device under any circumstances.-Only the manufacturer can repair the faulty sensor.-If the fault can not be removed, please stop the device and prevent it from being accidentally turned on.

Chapter 3 Optics

Introduction

The FM550 contains:

• a CMOS image sensor and its lens
- two white LEDs based illumination system
• two red laser aimers

Sensor

Pixel: 800×1280 CMOS

Frame rate: 60fps

Illumination

The FM550 has two white LEDs for supplementary lighting, making it possible to scan barcodes even in complete darkness. The illumination can be programmed On or Off. Customers can add the external illumination system if needed. The spectral range should be within the visible light.

Aimer

The FM550 contains two laser aimers that produce aiming spot patterns. The center of dual laser spots should be aligned with the center of the barcode to help the user to easily position the target barcode. The aiming pattern can be turned On or Off. For applications with different materials or background or in the strong light, users can turn it on/off based on the actual conditions.

Chapter 4 Electrical Specifications

Power Supply

Do not power up the FM550 until it is properly connected. Be sure the power is cut off before connecting a cable to or disconnecting a cable from the host interface connector. Hot-plugging could damage the scanner.

Unstable power supply or sharp voltage drops or unreasonably short interval between power-ons may lead to unstable performance of the scanner. Do not resupply the power immediately after cutting it off.

1. When designing, the user should ensure that the input power of FM550 is fully decoupled. It is recommended to place a 22uF and a 100nF X5R or X7R ceramic capacitor beside the power input pin on the connector which is soldered on the board.
2. Ensure that the input power drops below 0.5V before powering the FM550 on again, otherwise it will lead to abnormal function.

Ripple Noise

To ensure the image quality, a power supply with low ripple noise is needed.

Acceptable ripple range (peak-to-peak) ≤150mV

UFCOM can run on all versions of Windows XP \~ Windows 10 x86 & x64, including the contemporary versions of Windows Server. Users can download the driver from the website at: http://down.nlscan.com:82/Release/UFCOM/.

Chapter 6 Configuration

Introduction

There are three ways to configure the FM550: Barcode programming, command programming and Easyset programming.

Barcode Programming

The FM550 can be configured by scanning programming barcodes. All user programmable features/options are described along with their programming barcodes/commands in the following sections.

This programming method is most straightforward. However, it requires manually scanning barcodes. As a result, errors are more likely to occur.

Command Programming

The FM550 can also be configured by serial commands sent from the host device.

Users can design an application program to send those command strings to the scanners to perform device configuration.

EasySet Programming

Besides the two methods mentioned above, you can conveniently perform scanner configuration through EasySet too. EasySet is a Windows-based configuration tool particularly designed for Newland products, enabling users to gain access to decoded data and captured images and to configure scanners. For more information about this tool, refer to the EasySet User Guide.

Programming Barcode/ Programming Command/Function

The figure above is an example that shows you the programming barcode and command for the Enter Setup function:

1. The No Case Conversion barcode.
2. The No Case Conversion command.
3. The description of feature/option.

Use of Programming Barcodes

Scanning the Enter Setup barcode can enable the scanner to enter the setup mode. Then you can scan a number of programming barcodes to configure your scanner. To exit the setup mode, scan the Exit Setup barcode or a non-programming barcode, or reboot the scanner.

@SETUPE0
Exit Setup

@SETUPE1

Default Settings

Factory Defaults

Scanning the following barcode can restore the scanner to the factory defaults.

You may need to reset all parameters to the factory defaults when:

* scanner is not properly configured so that it fails to decode barcodes.
◇ you forget previous configuration and want to avoid its impact.

@FACDEF
Restore All Factory Defaults

Custom Defaults

Scanning the Restore All Custom Defaults barcode can reset all parameters to the custom defaults. Scanning the Save as Custom Defaults barcode can set the current settings as custom defaults.

Custom defaults are stored in the non-volatile memory.

@CUSSAV
Save as Custom Defaults

@CUSDEF
Restore All Custom Defaults

Restoring the scanner to the factory defaults will not remove the custom defaults from the scanner.

Query Product Information

Chapter 7 Communication Interface

Introduction

Serial communication interface is usually used when connecting the scanner to a host device (like PC, POS). You need to set communication parameters to match the host device.
USB HID Keyboard: The scanner's transmission is simulated as USB keyboard input with no need for command configuration or a driver. Barcode data could be entered by the virtual keyboard directly and it is also convenient for the host device to receive data.
USB CDC: It is compliant with the standard USB CDC class specifications defined by the USB-IF and allows the host device to receive data in the way as a serial port does. A driver is needed when using this feature.
HID POS (POS HID Barcode Scanner): It is based on the HID interface, with no need for a custom driver. It excels virtual keyboard and traditional TTL-232 interface in transmission speed.
IBM SurePOS: It conforms to IBM (now Toshiba Global Commerce Solutions) 4698 USB scanner interface specifications.
Datalogic Magellan Aux-RS232: Program the scanner for the Datalogic Magellan Aux-RS232 interface configuration when connecting the scanner to the Datalogic Magellan device.

When the scanner is connected to both USB and RS-232 ports on a host device, it will select the USB connection by default.

Adaptive Wired Communication

When this feature is on, the scanner can automatically adapt its communication configuration to the way it is connected to the host device: Automatically enable USB/serial communication when connected to the host device via USB/serial port, respectively.

Note: You must restart the scanner before this setting will take effect.

RS-232 Interface

Serial communication interface is usually used when connecting the scanner to a host device (like PC, POS). However, to ensure smooth communication and accuracy of data, you need to set communication parameters (including baud rate, parity check, data bit and stop bit) to match the host device.

@INTERF0

Stop Bit

The stop bit(s) at the end of each transmitted character marks the end of transmission of one character and prepares the receiving device for the next character in the serial data stream. Set the number of stop bits to match the host requirements.

@232STP0
1 Stop Bit

@232STP1
2 Stop Bits

USB HID Keyboard

When the scanner is connected to the USB port on a host device, you can enable the USB HID Keyboard feature by scanning the barcode below. Then scanner's transmission will be simulated as USB keyboard input. The Host receives keystrokes on the virtual keyboard. It works on a Plug and Play basis and no driver is required.

@INTERF3
USB HID Keyboard

If the host device allows keyboard input, then no extra software is needed for HID Keyboard input.

USB Country Keyboard Types

Keyboard layouts vary from country to country. The default setting is U.S. keyboard.

Beep on Unknown Character

Due to the differences in keyboard layouts, some characters contained in barcode data may be unavailable on the selected keyboard. As a result, the scanner fails to transmit the unknown characters.

Scan the appropriate barcode below to enable or disable the emission of beep when an unknown character is detected.

@KBWBUC0

Do Not Beep on Unknown Character

@KBWBUC1

Beep on Unknown Character

Supposing French keyboard (Country Code: 7) is selected and barcode data "ADF" is being dealt with, the keyboard will fail to locate the "D" (0xD0) character and the scanner will ignore the character and continue to process the next one.

Do Not Beep on Unknown Character: The scanner does not beep and the Host receives "AF".

Beep on Unknown Character: The scanner beeps and the Host still receives "AF".

If Emulate ALT+Keypad ON is selected, Beep on Unknown Character does not function.

Emulate ALT+Keypad

When Emulate ALT+Keypad is turned on, ASCII characters (0x20 - 0xFF) are sent over the numeric keypad no matter which keyboard type is selected.

1. ALT Make
2. Enter the number corresponding to a desired character on the keypad.
3. ALT Break

After Emulate ALT+Keypad ON is selected, you need to choose the code page with which the barcodes were created and to turn Unicode Encoding On or Off depending on the encoding used by the application software.

@KBWALTO
Emulate ALT+Keypad OFF

@KBWALT1
Emulate ALT+Keypad ON

Since sending a character involves multiple keystroke emulations, this method appears less efficient.

Supposing Emulate ALT+Keypad is ON, Unicode Encoding is Off, Code Page 1252 (West European Latin) is selected, and Emulate Keypad with Leading Zero is Off, barcode data "ADF" (65/208/70) is sent as below:

$$ " A" - " A L T M a k e" +" 0 6 5" +" A L T B r e a k" $$

$$ " D" --" A L T M a k e" +" 2 0 8" +" A L T B r e a k" $$

$$ " F" --" A L T M a k e" +" 0 7 0" +" A L T B r e a k" $$

Code Page

Code pages define the mapping of character codes to characters. If the data received does not display with the proper characters, it may be because the barcode being scanned was created using a code page that is different from the one the host program is expecting. If this is the case, select the code page with which the barcodes were created by scanning the appropriate barcode below. For PDF417, QR Code and Data Matrix, besides setting the code page, you also need to set the character encoding in the "Character Encoding" section in Chapter 6. This feature is only effective when Emulate ALT+Keypad is turned on.

Note: Code Page 932, Code Page 936 and Code Page 950 are selectable and respectively supported by different software versions.

Unicode Encoding

Different host program may use different character encodings for handling incoming barcode data. For instance, Microsoft Office Word uses Unicode encoding and therefore you should turn Unicode Encoding on, whereas Microsoft Office Excel or Notepad uses Code Page encoding and therefore you should turn Unicode Encoding off. This feature is only effective when Emulate ALT+Keypad is turned on.

@KBWCPU0

Emulate Keypad with Leading Zero

You may turn this feature on to send character sequences sent over the numeric keypad as ISO characters which have a leading zero. For example, ASCII A transmits as "ALT MAKE" 0065 "ALT BREAK". This feature is only effective when Emulate ALT+Keypad is enabled.

@KBWALZ1

If Ctrl+ASCII Mode is selected and other parameters of USB HID Keyboard adopt factory defaults, barcode data "A(i.e. Horizontal Tab)F" (0x41/0x09/0x46) is sent as below:

"A" - Keystroke "A".

- "Ctrl Make" + Keystroke "I" + "Ctrl Break"

"F" - Keystroke "F"

For some text editors, "Ctrl I" means italic convert. So the output may be "AF".

If Alt+Keypad Mode is selected and other parameters of USB HID Keyboard adopt factory defaults, the data above is sent as below:

"A" - Keystroke "A".

- "Alt Make" + Keystrokes "009" + "Alt Break"

"F" - Keystroke "F"

Decode Area

Whole Area Decoding: The scanner attempts to decode barcode(s) within its field of view, from the center to the periphery, and transmits the barcode that has been first decoded.

Specific Central Area Decoding: The scanner attempts to read barcode(s) whose center is within a specified decoding area and transmits the barcode that has been first decoded. This option allows the scanner to narrow its field of view to make sure it reads only those barcodes intended by the user. For instance, if multiple barcodes are placed closely together, specific area decoding in conjunction with appropriate pre-defined decoding area will insure that only the desired barcode is read.

Specific Area Decoding: The scanner attempts to read barcode(s) within a specified decoding area and transmits the barcode that has been first decoded.

2-Digit Add-On Code

A UPC-A barcode can be augmented with a two-digit add-on code to form a new one. In the example below, the part surrounded by blue dotted line is a UPC-A barcode while the part circled by red dotted line is a two-digit add-on code.

Disable 2-Digit Add-On Code: The scanner decodes UPC-A and ignores the add-on code when presented with a UPC-A plus 2-digit add-on barcode. It can also decode UPC-A barcodes without 2-digit add-on codes.

Enable 2-Digit Add-On Code: The scanner decodes a mix of UPC-A barcodes with and without 2-digit add-on codes.

5-Digit Add-On Code

A UPC-A barcode can be augmented with a five-digit add-on code to form a new one. In the example below, the part surrounded by blue dotted line is a UPC-A barcode while the part circled by red dotted line is a five-digit add-on code.

Disable 5-Digit Add-On Code: The scanner decodes UPC-A and ignores the add-on code when presented with a UPC-A plus 5-digit add-on barcode. It can also decode UPC-A barcodes without 5-digit add-on codes.

Enable 5-Digit Add-On Code: The scanner decodes a mix of UPC-A barcodes with and without 5-digit add-on codes.

Chapter 10 Data Formatter

Introduction

You may use the Data Formatter to modify the scanner's output. For example, you can use the Data Formatter to insert characters at certain points in barcode data or to suppress/ replace/ send certain characters in barcode data as it is scanned.

Normally, when you scan a barcode, it gets outputted automatically; however, when you create a format, you must use a "send" command (see the "Send Commands" section in this chapter) within the format programming to output data. Multiple data formats can be programmed into the scanner. The maximum size of all data formats created is 2048 characters. By default, the data formatter is disabled. Enable it when required. If you have changed data format settings, and wish to clear all formats and return to the factory defaults, scan the Default Data Format code below.

@DFMDEF
Default Data Format

Add a Data Format

Data format is used to edit barcode data. When you create a data format, you must select one of the four labels (Format_0, Format_1, Format_2 and Format_3) for your data format, specify the application scope of data format (such as barcode type and data length) and include formatter commands. Multiple data formats may be created using the same label. When scanned data does not match your data format requirements, you will hear the non-match error beep (if the non-match error beep is ON).

There are two methods to program a data format: Programming with barcodes and programming with serial commands.

Programming with Barcodes

The following explains how to program a data format by scanning the specific barcodes. Scanning any irrelevant barcode or failing to follow the setting procedure will result in programming failure. To find the alphanumeric barcodes needed to create a data format, see the "Digit Barcodes" section in Appendix.

Step 1: Scan the Enter Setup barcode.

Step 2: Scan the Add Data Format barcode.

Step 3: Select a label (Format_0 or Format_1 or Format_2 or Format_3).

Scan a numeric barcode 0 or 1 or 2 or 3 to label this data format Format_0 or Format_1 or Format_2 or Format_3.

Step 4: Select formatter command type.

Specify what type of formatter commands will be used. Scan a numeric barcode 6 to select formatter command type 6. (See the "Formatter Command Type 6" section in this chapter for more information)

Step 5: Set interface type

Scan 999 for any interface type.

Step 6: Set Symbology ID Number

Refer to the "Symbology ID Number" section in Appendix and find the ID number of the symbology to which you want to apply the data format. Scan three numeric barcodes for the symbology ID number. If you wish to create a data format for all symbologies, scan 999.

Step 7: Set barcode data length

Specify what length of data will be acceptable for this symbology. Scan the four numeric barcodes that represent the data length. 9999 is a universal number, indicating all lengths. For example, 32 characters should be entered as 0032.

Step 8: Enter formatter command

Refer to the "Formatter Command Type 6" section in this chapter. Scan the alphanumeric barcodes that represent the command you need to edit data. For example, when a command is F141, you should scan F141.

Step 9: Scan the Save barcode from the "Save/Cancel Barcodes" section in Appendix to save your data format.

Example: Program a Format_0 data format using formatter command type 6, Code 128 containing 10 characters applicable, send all characters followed by "A".

1. Scan the Enter Setup barcode Enter the Setup mode
2. Scan the Add Data Format barcode Add a data format
3. Scan the 0 barcode Select Format_0 as the label
4. Scan the 6 barcode Select formatter command type 6
5. Scan the 9 barcode three times All interface types applicable
6. Scan the barcodes 002 Only Code 128 applicable
7. Scan the barcodes 0010 Only a length of 10 characters applicable
8. Scan the alphanumeric barcodes F141 Send all characters followed by "A" (HEX: 41)
9. Scan the Save barcode Save the data format

To streamline the programming process, you may as well generate a batch barcode by inputting the command (e.g. @DFMADD069990020010F141;) used to create a data format. See the "Use Batch Barcode" section in Chapter 9 to learn how to put a batch barcode into use.

When creating multiple data formats sharing a label, the formats are separated from each other by a vertical bar (|) in the batch command, e.g. @DFMADD069990029999F141|069990039999F142|169990049999F143;.

Programming with Serial Commands

A data format can also be created by serial commands (HEX) sent from the host device. All commands must be entered in uppercase letters.

The syntax consists of the following elements:

Prefix: "\~0000" (HEX: 7E 01 30 30 30 30), 6 characters.

Storage type: “@” (HEX: 40) or “#” (HEX: 23), 1 character. “@” means permanent setting which will not be lost by removing power from the scanner or rebooting it; “#” means temporary setting which will be lost by removing power from the scanner or rebooting it.

Add Data Format Command: "DFMADD" (HEX: 44 46 4D 41 44 44), 6 characters.

Data format label: "0" (HEX: 30) or "1" (HEX: 31) or "2" (HEX: 32) or "3" (HEX: 33), 1 character. "0", "1", "2" and "3" represent Format_0, Format_1, Format_2 and Format_3 respectively.

Formatter command type: "6" (HEX: 36), 1 character.

Interface type: "999" (HEX: 39 39 39), 3 characters.

Enable/Disable Data Formatter

When Data Formatter is disabled, the data format you have enabled becomes invalid.

@DFMENA0
Disable Data Formatter

You may wish to require the data to conform to a data format you have created. The following settings can be applied to your data format:

Enable Data Formatter, Required, Keep Prefix/Suffix: Scanned data that meets your data format requirements is modified accordingly and gets outputted along with prefixes and suffixes (if prefix and suffix are enabled). Any data that does not match your data format requirements generates an error beep (if Non-Match Error Beep is turned ON) and the data in that barcode is not transmitted.

Enable Data Formatter, Required, Drop Prefix/Suffix: Scanned data that meets your data format requirements is modified accordingly and gets outputted without prefixes and suffixes (even if prefix and suffix are enabled). Any data that does not match your data format requirements generates an error beep (if Non-Match Error Beep is turned ON) and the data in that barcode is not transmitted.

Enable Data Formatter, Not Required, Keep Prefix/Suffix: Scanned data that meets your data format requirements is modified accordingly and gets outputted along with prefixes and suffixes (if prefix and suffix are enabled). Barcode data that does not match your data format requirements is transmitted as read along with prefixes and suffixes (if prefix and suffix are enabled).

Enable Data Formatter, Not Required, Drop Prefix/Suffix: Scanned data that meets your data format requirements is modified accordingly and gets outputted without prefixes and suffixes (even if prefix and suffix are enabled). Barcode data that does not match your data format requirements is transmitted as read along with prefixes and suffixes (if prefix and suffix are enabled).

Note: Key modifiers can be added together when needed. Example: Shift Left + Alt Left + Control Left = 15.

Chapter 11 Prefix & Suffix

Introduction

A 1D barcode could contain digits, letters, symbols, etc. A 2D barcode could contain more data, such as Chinese characters and other multi-byte characters. However, in real applications, they do not and should not have all information we need, such as barcode type, data acquisition time and delimiter, in order to keep the barcodes short and flexible.

Prefix and suffix are how to fulfill the needs mentioned above. They can be added, removed and modified while the original barcode data remains intact.

Barcode processing procedure:

1. Edit data with Data Formatter
2. Append prefix/suffix
3. Pack data
4. Append terminating character

Global Settings

Enable/Disable All Prefixes/Suffixes

Disable All Prefixes/Suffixes: Transmit barcode data with no prefix/suffix.

Enable All Prefixes/Suffixes: Allow to append Code ID prefix, AIM ID prefix, custom prefix/suffix and terminating character to the barcode data before the transmission.

Chapter 12 Programming Commands

Use of Programming Command

Besides the barcode programming method, the scanner can also be configured by serial commands (HEX) sent from the host device. All commands must be entered in uppercase letters.

Command Syntax

Prefix StorageType Tag SubTag {Data} [, SubTag {Data}] [; Tag SubTag {Data}] [...] Suffix

Prefix: "\~0000" (HEX: 7E 01 30 30 30 30), 6 characters.

StorageType: “@” (HEX: 40) or “#” (HEX: 23), 1 character. “@” means permanent setting which will not be lost by removing power from the scanner or rebooting it; “#” means temporary setting which will be lost by removing power from the scanner or rebooting it.

Tag: A 3-character case-sensitive field that identifies the desired command group. For example, all USB HID Keyboard configuration settings are identified with a Tag of KBW.

SubTag: A 3-character case-sensitive field that identifies the desired parameter within the tag group. For example, the SubTag for the keyboard layout is CTY.

Data: The value for a feature or parameter setting, identified by the Tag and SubTag.

Suffix: “;” (HEX: 3B 03), 2 characters.

Multiple commands can be issued within one Prefix/Suffix sequence. For configuration commands, only the Tag, SubTag, and Data fields must be repeated for each command in sequence. If an additional command is to be applied to the same Tag, then the command is separated with a comma (,) and only the SubTag and Data fields of the additional commands are issued. If the additional command requires a different Tag field, the command is separated from previous command by a semicolon (;).

Query Commands

For query commands, the entry in the Data field in the syntax above is one of the following characters means:

* (HEX: 2A) What is the scanner's current value for the setting(s).

& (HEX: 26) What is the factory default value for the setting(s).

^ (HEX: 5E) What is the range of possible values for the setting(s).

The value of the StoreType field in a query command can be either "@" (HEX: 40) or "#" (HEX: 23).

A query command with the SubTag field omitted means to query all the settings concerning a tag. For example, to query all the current settings about Code 11, you should enter 7E 01 30 30 30 30 40 43 31 31 2A 3B 03 (i.e. \~0000@C11*;).

Responses

Different from command sequence, the prefix of a response consists of the six characters of "0000" (HEX: 02 01 30 30 30 30).

The scanner responds to serial commands with one of the following three responses:

(HEX: 06) Indicates a good command which has been processed.

(HEX: 15) Indicates a good configuration command with its Data field entry out of the allowable range for this Tag and SubTag combination (e.g. an entry for an inter-keystroke delay of 100 when the field will only allow 2 digits), or an invalid query command.

(HEX: 05) Indicates an invalid Tag or SubTag command.

When responding, the scanner echoes back the command sequence with the status character above inserted directly before each of the punctuation marks (the comma or semicolon) in the command.

Examples

Example 1: Enable Code 11, set the minimum and maximum lengths to 12 and 22 respectively.

Enter: 7E 01 30 30 30 30 40 43 31 31 45 4E 41 31 2C 4D 49 4E 31 32 2C 4D 41 58 32 32 3B 03

(\~0000@C11ENA1,MIN12,MAX22;)

Response: 02 01 30 30 30 30 40 43 31 31 45 4E 41 31 06 2C 4D 49 4E 31 32 06 2C 4D 41 58 32 32 06 3B 03

(0000@C11ENA1,MIN12,MAX22;)

Example 2: Query the current minimum and maximum lengths of Code 11.

Enter: 7E 01 30 30 30 30 40 43 31 31 4D 49 4E 2A 2C 4D 41 58 2A 3B 03

(\~0000@C11MIN*,MAX*;)

Response: 02 01 30 30 30 30 40 43 31 31 4D 49 4E 31 32 06 2C 4D 41 58 32 32 06 3B 03

(0000@C11MIN12,MAX22;)

Read Barcode On/Off

Sending the Read Barcode Off command \~0000#SCNENA0; to the scanner can disable it from reading barcode, and the scanner is unable to scan barcode unless you send the Read Barcode On command \~0000#SCNENA1; to it or power cycle it. By default, Read Barcode is On.

Turn On Illumination LED

You may turn on the internal illumination LED on the scanner for a certain period of time with a command sent from the host. Note that the scanner cannot scan barcodes when it is executing this command. The duration is from 10 to 10000ms.

Command for querying whether the scanner supports this feature: LEDONI* or LEDONI&

Returning LEDONI indicates the scanner supports this feature.

Command for querying the range of possible values for the setting: LEDONI^

Returning LEDONI-0C10-10000D indicates the range for the length of time the LED stays lit is 10-10000ms.

Example: Turn on the illumination LED for 1,000ms

Enter: \~0000#LEDONI0C1000D;

Response: 0000#LEDONI0C1000D;

Turn On Laser Aimer

You may turn on the laser aimer on the scanner for a certain period of time with a command sent from the host. When using this feature, you should first query the range of possible values for the setting. Note that the scanner cannot scan barcodes when it is executing this command.

LEDONAyy (yy: Specify the length of time the laser aimer stays on, 10-3,600,000ms)

Command for querying whether the scanner supports this feature: LEDONA* or LEDONA&

Returning LEDONA indicates the scanner supports this feature.

Command for querying the range of possible values for the setting: LEDONA^

Returning LEDONA10-3600000 indicates the range for the length of time the laser aimer stays on is 10-3,600,000ms.

Example: Turn on the laser aimer for 2,000ms

Enter: \~0000#LEDONA2000;

Response: 0000#LEDONA2000;

Chapter 13 Batch Programming

Introduction

Batch programming enables users to integrate a batch of commands into a single batch barcode.

Listed below are batch programming rules:

1. Command format: Command + Parameter Value.
2. Each command is terminated by a semicolon (;). Note that there is no space between a command and its terminator semicolon.
3. Use the barcode generator software to generate a 2D batch barcode.

Example: Create a batch barcode for Illumination Always On, Sense Mode, Decode Session Timeout = 2s:

1. Input the commands:
   @ILLSCN2;SCNMOD2;ORTSET2000;

2. Generate a batch barcode.

When setting up a scanner with the above configuration, scan the Enable Batch Barcode barcode and then the batch barcode generated.

@BATCHS
Enable Batch Barcode

Create a Batch Command

A batch command may contain a number of individual commands each of which is terminated by a semicolon (;).

For more information, refer to the "Use of Programming Command" section in Chapter 3.

Create a Batch Barcode

Batch barcodes can be produced in the format of PDF417, QR Code or Data Matrix.

Example: Create a batch barcode for Illumination Always On, Sense Mode, Decode Session Timeout = 2s:

1. Input the following commands:

@ILLSCN2;SCNMOD2;ORTSET2000;

1. Generate a PDF417 batch barcode.

Use Batch Barcode

To put a batch barcode into use, scan the following barcodes. (Use the example above.)

Save/Cancel Barcodes

After reading numeric barcode(s), you need to scan the Save barcode to save the data. If you scan the wrong digit(s), you can either scan the Cancel barcode and then start the configuration all over again, or scan the Delete the Last Digit barcode and then the correct digit, or scan the Delete All Digits barcode and then the digits you want.

For instance, after reading the Maximum Length barcode and numeric barcodes "1", "2" and "3", you scan:

Delete the Last Digit: The last digit "3" will be removed.
Delete All Digits: All digits "123" will be removed.
✿ Cancel: The maximum length configuration will be cancelled. And the scanner is still in the setup mode.

@DIGSAV
Save

@DIGCAN
Cancel

@DIGDEL
Delete the Last Digit

@DIGDAL
Delete All Digits
