Figure 1-2 MiniScan Block Diagram

Miniscan Block Diagram Descriptions

Decoded Scan Engine - The scan engine emits a beam of laser light that reflects off the bar code. Black bars absorb light, white spaces reflect light. The scan engine collects the reflected light and processes the signal through several analog filters. The filtered signal is digitized into a Digitized Barcode Pattern (DBP). The decoder micro-controller analyzes timing information to decode and transmit the data contained in the bar code.

Interface Board - The interface board adapts the scan engine's interface into usable signals and data for the intended host. It also contains a beeper and red/green LED for audio/visual feedback, and provides for an external trigger and external beeper.

The interface board converts the scan engine's data to Synapse, USB, or TTL level RS-232. A separate host adapter cable (p/n 25-62186-xx) converts the TTL level RS-232 output to standard RS-232 levels. All interface types are auto-detected based on the host cable attached.

DB9 - The DB9 connector provides a sealed outlet for the various interface signals used between a MiniScan scanner and the host. It also maintains pin compatibility with the previous generation LS1220 MiniScan host cables.

Chapter 2 Installation

The optional mounting bracket kit consists of a scanner bracket, a mounting bracket, and the hardware required to mount the scanner. The bracket kit accommodates adjustable angles for optimal positioning of the scanner.

To mount the MiniScan scanner on the bracket, first secure the scanner to the scanner bracket, then attach the mounting bracket to the wall (see Figure 2-5 on page 2-5):

1. Tilt the scanner bracket forward to access the center scanner mounting hole on the bracket.
2. Place the bottom of the scanner on the scanner bracket, aligning the scanner's center threaded insert (beneath the scan window) with the center mounting hole on the scanner bracket.
3. Insert one of the screws provided through the mounting hole and into the scanner's center threaded insert.

For the Symbol MS1207FZY, MS1207WA, MS2207, and MS2207VHD, use a #0 Phillips screwdriver; for the Symbol MS3207, use a #1 Phillips screwdriver.

1. Tilt the scanner bracket in the opposite direction to access the rear scanner mounting holes (which are aligned with the rear inserts on the bottom of the scanner), then insert the remaining two screws provided through the two rear mounting holes and into the scanner's threaded inserts.
2. Secure the mounting bracket to a flat surface by inserting 1/8" or smaller fasteners through the surface and into the bracket's mounting holes. There are four mounting holes on the bottom of the mounting bracket for horizontal mounting, and six holes on the side for vertical mounting.

Connecting the Symbol MSXX07 via USB

Using a PC running Microsoft Windows:

1. Connect the USB cable to the USB port on the host.
2. Connect the other end of the USB cable to the scanner as indicated on the cable. The scanner powers up and beeps.
3. On the host, open a word processing program such as Microsoft Word.
4. Present a bar code to the scanner. A beep indicates a decode, and the data appears on the host screen.

Location and Positioning

CAUTION

The location and positioning guidelines provided do not consider unique application characteristics. Motorola recommends that an opto-mechanical engineer perform an opto-mechanical analysis prior to integration.

NOTE Integrate the scanner in an environment no more extreme than the product's specification, where the scanner will not exceed its temperature range. For instance, do not mount the scanner onto or next to a large heat source. When placing the scanner with another device, ensure there is proper convection or venting for heat. Follow these suggestions to ensure product longevity, warranty, and overall satisfaction with the scanner.

Using the MiniScan as an Embedded Scanner

You can mount the MiniScan read symbols that are automatically presented, or that are presented in a pre-determined location. In these applications, MinScan positioning with respect to the symbol is critical. Failure to properly position the MiniScan can result in unsatisfactory scanning performance. A thermal analysis is also recommended.

Two methods of positioning the scanner are provided:

• Use the Calculating the Usable Scan Length Method on page 2-8 with consistently good quality symbols. This provides a mathematical solution to find the usable scan length.
• The Testing the Usable Scan Length Method on page 2-9 uses real situation testing to adjust the usable scan length to fit the application conditions.

Calculating the Usable Scan Length Method

Calculate usable scan length as follows (see Figure 2-8 on page 2-8):

L = 1. 8 × (D + d + B) × Tan (A / 2)

Table 2-1 Calculation Constants

Constants B A
MS1207FZY (Default Mode) 1.17 42°
MS1207FZY (Alternate Mode) 1.17 30°
MS1207WA 1.17 60°
MS2207 1.53 34°
MS2207VHD 1.53 34°
MS3207 1.93 34°

where:

D = Distance (in inches) from the front edge of the host housing to the bar code.

d = The host housing's internal optical path from the edge of the housing to the front of the MiniScan scanner.

B = Internal optical path from the scan mirror to the front edge of the MiniScan scanner.

A = Scan angle in degrees.

NOTE Usable scan length determined by this formula, or 90% of scan line at any working distance. This formula is based on good quality symbols in the center of the working range and length of bar code.

Figure 2-8 Usable Scan Length Diagram

Testing the Usable Scan Length Method

Due to the variety of symbol sizes, densities, print quality, etc., there is no simple way to calculate the ideal symbol distance. To optimize performance, use the Testing The Usable Scan Length positioning method:

1. Measure the maximum and minimum distances at which the symbols can be read.
2. Check the near and far range on several symbols. If they are not reasonably consistent there may be a printing quality problem that can degrade the performance of the system. Motorola can provide advice on how to improve the installation.

NOTE Poor quality symbols (from bad printing, wear, or damage) may not decode well when placed in the center of the depth of field (especially higher density codes). The scan beam has a minimum width in the central area, and when the scanner tries to read all symbol imperfections in this area it may not decode. After a preliminary spot is determined using good quality symbols, test several reduced quality symbols and adjust the spot for the best overall symbol position.

1. Locate the scanner so the symbol is near the middle of the near/far range.

2. Center the symbol (left to right) in the scan line whenever possible.

3. Position the symbol so that the scan line is as near as possible to perpendicular to the bars and spaces in the symbol.

4. Avoid specular reflection (glare) off the symbol by tilting the top or bottom of the symbol away from the scanner. The exact angle is not critical, but it must be large enough so that if a mirror were inserted in the symbol location, the reflected scan line would miss the front surface of the scanner. For the maximum allowable angles refer to the Skew, Pitch and Roll angles listed in each MiniScan Technical Specifications table.

5. If placing an additional window between the scanner and the symbol, determine the optimum symbol location using a representative window in the desired window position.

6. Give the scanner time to dwell on the symbol for several scans. When first enabled, the MiniScan may take two or three scans before it reaches maximum performance. Enable the MiniScan before presenting the symbol, if possible.

Conveyor Applications

Conveyor applications require setting the conveyor velocity to optimize the scanner's ability to read symbols. Also consider the orientation of the symbol with respect to the conveyor direction. Figure 2-9 on page 2-10 illustrates the relationship of the conveyor velocity with respect to a symbol positioned perpendicular to the conveyor direction and Figure 2-10 on page 2-11 illustrates the relationship of the conveyor velocity with respect to a symbol positioned parallel to the conveyor direction.

Symbol is Perpendicular to Conveyor Movement

With the symbol bars perpendicular to the conveyor belt direction (Picket Fence presentation) the relationship is:

V = (R × (F - W)) / N

where:

V = Velocity of the conveyor (inches/second)

R = Scan Rate (see technical specifications)

F = 80% of width of scan beam

W = Symbol Width (inches)

N = Number of scans over symbol (minimum of 10 scans)

Figure 2-9 Symbol Perpendicular To Conveyor Movement

Example

R = 640 scans per second

F = 80% of 6 in.

W = 4 in.

N = 10

V = (640 × ((0.8 × 6) - 4))) / 10 = 51.2 in./sec

Symbol is Parallel to Conveyor Movement

With the symbol bars parallel to the conveyor belt direction (ladder presentation) the relationship is:

V = (R × H) / N

where:

V = Velocity of the conveyor (inches/second)

R = Scan Rate of scanner (see technical specifications)

H = Symbol height

N = Number of scans over symbol (minimum of 10 scans)

Figure 2-10 Symbol Parallel To Conveyor Movement

Example

Use the previous formula to calculate the number of scans for a specific bar code, scanner, and conveyor speed; a minimum of 10 scans per symbol is recommended.

R = 640 scans/sec

H = 60 mil

N = 10 scans

V = (640 × .060) / 10 = 3.84 in./sec

Embedded Applications Requiring a Window

Use the following guidelines for applications that require a window in front of the MiniScan.

NOTE Motorola does not recommend placing an exit window in front of the MiniScan; however, the following information is provided for applications that require such a window.

Window Material

Many window materials that look perfectly clear can contain stresses and distortions that can reduce scanner performance. For this reason, Motorola highly recommends only optical glass or cell-cast acrylic with an anti-reflection coating. Following is a description of acrylic, and CR-39, another popular window material.

Table 2-2 on page 2-13 outlines the suggested window properties.

CAUTION Consult an opto-mechanical engineer to recommend an appropriate window material and to determine if coatings are appropriate for the specific application.

NOTE Do not use polycarbonate material.

Acrylic

When fabricated by cell-casting, acrylic has very good optical quality and low initial cost. However, protect the surface from the environment as acrylic is susceptible to attack by chemicals, mechanical stresses, and UV light. Acrylic has reasonably good impact resistance and can be ultrasonically welded.

CR-39

CR-39 is a thermal-setting plastic produced by the cell-casting process, and is commonly used in plastic eye glasses lenses. CR-39 has excellent chemical and environmental resistance, including good surface hardness. Typically it does not require hard-coating, but can be hard coated for severe environments. CR-39 has reasonably good impact resistance and cannot be ultrasonically welded.

Chemically Tempered Float Glass

Glass is a hard material which provides excellent scratch and abrasion resistance. However, unannealed glass is brittle. Increasing flexibility strength with minimal optical distortion requires chemical tempering. Glass cannot be ultrasonically welded and is difficult to cut into odd shapes.

Table 2-2 Suggested Window Properties

Property Description
Material Red cell-cast acrylic.
Spectral Transmission 85% minimum from 640 to 690 nanometers.
Thickness 0.059 ± 0.005
Wavefront Distortion (transmission) 0.2 wavelengths peak-to-valley maximum over any 0.08 in. diameter within the clear aperture.
Clear Aperture To extend to within 0.04 in. of the edges all around.
Surface Quality 60-20 scratch/dig
Coating Both sides to be anti-reflection coated to provide 0.5% max reflectivity(each side) from 640 to 690 nanometers at nominal window tilt angle.Coatings must comply with the hardness adherence requirements of MIL-M-13508.

Window Coatings

Table 2-3 on page 2-14 lists some exit window manufacturers and anti-reflection coaters.

Anti-Reflection Coatings

Apply an anti-reflection coating to the inside and/or outside of the window to significantly reduce the amount of light reflected off the window, back into the scan engine. The coating can also improve the range of acceptable window positions and minimize performance degradation due to signal loss as the light passes through the window. Using anti-reflection coatings on both the inside and outside of the window is highly recommended.

Polysiloxane Coating

Polysiloxane type coatings are applied to plastic surfaces to improve the surface resistance to both scratch and abrasion. They are usually applied by dipping, then air-drying in an oven with filtered hot air.

Embedded Window Angle and Position

If a window is placed between the MiniScan and the item to scan, observe the following guidelines:

• Window Clear Opening - Make the clear opening of the window large enough so that the entire scan beam passes through the window. Cutting off any part of the beam can result in internal reflections and degrade decode range performance. Ensure that window placement relative to the MiniScan accounts for tolerances on all parts involved in that assembly.
• Window Angle - Angle the window at least 2⁰ more than the tilt of the window on the scanner (see Table 2-4). Further tilting the window is acceptable and decreases the possibility of a secondary reflection from that window degrading the scanner's performance.
• Optical Working Range - Adding a window can reduce the working range of the scanner since there is a signal loss when passing through window material. To minimize this reduction, use a special coating described in Window Coatings on page 2-13. To understand the difference, test the scanner in the desired orientation and see if the difference affects scanner performance.

Application Notes

TTL RS-232

Standard RS-232 voltage levels typically range between +12V and -12V to ensure adequate noise rejection over long distances. Devices which support TTL level RS-232 signaling typically drive signals between 0V and +5V. Extensive testing has shown that TTL levels are interpreted correctly by the majority of standard RS-232 hosts over cable distances of six feet or less, even in extreme conditions.

Multi-interface Miniscan products fall into the TTL RS-232 device category. All standard RS-232 cables available from Motorola for the Miniscan family measure six feet or less, and should not present a problem. If a particular host does not support TTL levels, a separate conversion cable is available (25-62186-xx) which contains electronics to adapt the TTL levels of a multi-interface Miniscan into standard RS-232 levels.

USB Warning - Potential Host Side Issues

The Universal Serial Bus provides a smart plug-and-play interface for easy integration. In USB communication, the root hub located on the host controls all traffic. USB hosts in general react poorly in certain harsh environments compared to traditional host interfaces such as RS-232. These environments include areas with high ESD levels or situations in which the system is subject to Electrical Fast Transients (EFT).

Typical symptoms of these environments are:

• Frequent scanner resets
• Scanner occasionally loses power (due to host initiated shutdown)
  • Occasional host lockups.

Because multi-interface Miniscan products are often exposed to these environments due to the nature of scanner placement, they have been safeguarded as much as possible to prevent physical damage. Despite design precautions, testing shows that some USB hosts cannot tolerate these environments. In this case, try placing a self-powered USB hub close to the host, between the scanner and host, as a buffer to the host against the harsh environment. This may not be a valid solution in all cases.

Introduction

This chapter provides information on scan patterns, scanning, triggering options, and beeper and LED definitions.

MiniScan Scan Patterns

Symbol MS1207FZY and MS1207WA Scan Pattern

Symbol MS1207FZY and MS1207WA scanners emit a single scan line to quickly decode 1D bar codes.

Figure 3-1 Single Scan Line Scan Pattern

Symbol MS2207 and MS2207VHD Scan Patterns

The Symbol MS2207 and MS2207VHD generate different scan patterns (Smart Raster and High Density Single Scan Line) based on the software command received at the interface. Use the raster pattern to read 1D bar codes and PDF417 symbols.

NOTE The Symbol MS2207 and MS2207VHD also support omnidirectional and semi-omnidirectional scan patterns, but are not optimized for these patterns.

Smart Raster Scan Pattern

The Symbol MS2207 and MS2207VHD can create a single line which opens vertically to read PDF417 symbols using the Smart Raster feature. This feature autodetects the type of bar code being scanned and adjusts its pattern accordingly, providing optimal performance on 1D, PDF417, GS1 DataBar, and Composite codes.

Stage 1: "Slab" Raster Pattern
Stage 2: Open Raster Pattern

Figure 3-2 Raster Scan Pattern

High Density Single Scan Line Scan Pattern

The High Density single scan line appears as a "mini" raster and scans multiple areas of 1D codes to swiftly and accurately capture data on poorly printed and damaged bar codes.

Figure 3-3 High Density Single Scan Line Scan Pattern

Symbol MS3207 Scan Patterns

The Symbol MS3207 generates four scan patterns based on the software command received at the interface. These patterns are Smart Raster, Semi-omnidirectional, Omnidirectional, and High Density Single Scan Line. Use the raster pattern to read 1D bar codes and PDF417 symbols. The omnidirectional pattern reads 1D bar codes in an omnidirectional manner.

Smart Raster Scan Pattern

The Symbol MS3207 can create a single line which opens vertically to read PDF417 symbols using the Smart Raster feature. This feature autodetects the type of bar code being scanned and adjusts its pattern accordingly, providing optimal performance on 1D, PDF417, GS1 DataBar, and Composite codes.

Stage 1: "Slab" Raster Pattern

Figure 3-4 Raster Scan Pattern

Semi-omnidirectional Scan Pattern

The semi-omnidirectional pattern is an alternative to the full omnidirectional pattern that scans highly truncated 1D and GS1 DataBar codes. Present bar codes horizontally with no more than a 20^irc tilt.

Pure geometric pattern of interlocking diamond shapes without any text, numbers, or symbols

Figure 3-5 Semi-omnidirectional Scan Pattern

Omnidirectional Scan Pattern

The high-speed rotating omnidirectional scan pattern provides aggressive performance on 1D bar codes because there are no “holes” in the pattern. This ensures fast throughput at the point of activity and the ability to read 1D symbols in 360° of rotation, eliminating the need to orient the bar code in the field of view.

Abstract geometric pattern composed of intersecting lines forming a spherical structure (no text or symbols)

Figure 3-6 Omnidirectional Scan Pattern

High Density Single Scan Line Scan Pattern

The High Density single scan line appears as a "mini" raster and scans multiple areas of 1D codes to swiftly and accurately capture data on poorly printed and damaged bar codes.

Figure 3-7 High Density Single Scan Line Scan Pattern

Scan Angle Selection

The Symbol MS1207FZY scanner supports two scan angles (see Table 4-2 on page 4-5 for these angles). To set the scan angle, scan a parameter bar code (see Scan Angle on page 10-10). Once the parameter bar code is scanned, that scan angle setting is retained.

Operation in Blink Mode

The scan angle during Blink Mode is determined by the scan angle system parameter.

Scanning Tips

When scanning, make sure the symbol is within the scanning range. See Calculating the Usable Scan Length Method on page 2-8. Align the bar code with the scan beam. The green decode LED lights to indicate a successful decode.

Scan the Entire Symbol

• The scan beam must cross every bar and space on the symbol.
• The larger the symbol, the farther away the scanner should be positioned.
• Position the scanner closer for symbols with bars that are close together.

Position at an Angle

Do not position the scanner exactly perpendicular to the bar code. In this position, light can bounce back into the scanner's exit window and prevent a successful decode.

Trigger Options

Continuous (Default)

The laser is enabled continuously and decode processing is continuously active. You can configure the scanner to scan and transmit a bar code, and then not decode the same bar code or any bar code for a set period of time. See Timeout Between Decodes on page 10-15 to customize the application to the rate at which bar codes are presented.

Continuous

NOTE This option is not recommended during scanner programming via bar code menus.

Level Trigger

Activating the trigger line enables the laser and begins decode processing. Decode processing continues until a good decode occurs, the trigger is released, or the Laser On Time expires. The laser is disabled once decode processing completes. The next decode attempt does not occur until the trigger line is released and then reactivated.

Level

Pulse Trigger

Activating the trigger line enables the laser and begins decode processing. Decode processing continues regardless of the trigger line until a good decode occurs, or until the Laser On Time expires. The laser is disabled once decode processing completes. The next decode attempt does not occur until the trigger line is released and then reactivated.

Pulse

Blink

NOTE Only the Symbol MS1207FZY and MS1207WA support this option.

The laser blinks at a 25% duty cycle (reduced to 10% after 30 seconds of inactivity), until a bar code is presented. When a bar code is presented, the laser remains on until either the bar code is decoded or removed, or the session timeout expires. Once the bar code is decoded, the scanner does not decode it again until the bar code is removed.

Blink

Usable Scan Length

The decode zone is a function of various symbol characteristics including density, print contrast, wide-to-narrow ratio, and edge acuity. Consider width of decode zone at any given distance when designing a system.

Calculating the Usable Scan Length Method on page 2-8 describes how to calculate the usable scan length. The scan angle is provided in the Usable Scan Length Diagram on page 2-8.

Symbol MS3207 Decode Zones

The decode zone is a function of various symbol characteristics including density, print contrast, wide to narrow ratio and edge acuity. Typical values appear. Table 8-3 on page 8-10 and Table 8-4 on page 8-12 list the typical and guaranteed distances for selected bar code densities. The minimum element width (or "symbol density") is the width in mils of the narrowest element (bar or space) in the symbol. The maximum usable length of a symbol at any given range appears below. To calculate this distance, see Calculating the Usable Scan Length Method on page 2-8.

Chapter 9 Maintenance and Troubleshooting

Introduction

The chapter provides information on maintenance and troubleshooting.

Maintenance

Cleaning the exit window is the only maintenance required. Do not allow any abrasive material to touch the window. Clean the scan window with a damp cloth and, if necessary, a non-ammonia based detergent.

Troubleshooting

Table 9-1 Troubleshooting

Problem Possible Cause Possible Solutions
No red LED or nothing happens during a scan attempt.	No power to the scanner. Check the system power. Confirm that the correct host interface cable is used.
Scanner cannot read the bar code.	Interface/power cables are loose.	Re-connect loose cables.
	Scanner is not programmed for the correct bar code type.	Make sure the scanner is programmed to read the type of bar code to be scanned. Scan other bar code(s) and bar code types.
	Incorrect communication parameters.	Set the correct communication parameters (baud rate, parity, stop bits, etc.)
	Bar code symbol is unreadable.	Check the symbol to make sure it is not defaced. Try scanning similar symbols of the same code type.
	Inappropriately hot environment.	Remove the scanner from the hot environment, and allow it to cool down.
Laser activates, followed by a beep sequence.	Beeper is configured. See	Table 3-1 on page 3-7for beeper indication descriptions.
Scanner does not function.	Accidentally scanned Level Trigger or Pulse Trigger from Trigger Options on page 3-5.	Cycle power to the scanner. As the laser briefly appears after power up, scan the Continuous bar code from Trigger Options on page 3-5.
		Connect an interface cable which has an external trigger jack, a push button trigger cable, and a power supply to the scanner. You can purchase these cables from Motorola, or make a similar one using the scanner's pinouts as a reference. See the specification chapter for your MiniScan model for pinouts. Using a momentary switch, short the scanner's trigger line to ground to activate the laser, then scan the Continuous option of the Trigger Mode parameter.

NOTE If after performing these checks the symbol still does not scan, contact the distributor or Motorola Enterprise Mobility Support. See page xv for contact information.

Chapter 10 Parameter Menus

Introduction

This chapter describes the programmable parameters, and provides bar codes for programming.

Throughout the programming bar code menus, asterisks (*) indicate default values.

Operational Parameters

MiniScan scanners ship with the default settings in Table 10-1 on page 10-2. These default values are stored in non-volatile memory and are preserved even when the scanner is powered down.

To change the default values, scan the appropriate bar codes in this chapter. These new values replace the standard default values in memory. To reset the default parameter values, scan the Set All Defaults bar code on page 10-7.

Default Table

Table 10-1 lists the defaults for all parameters, and the page number each parameter appears on. To change any option, scan the appropriate bar code(s).

Scanning Options

Beeper Volume

To select a decode beep volume, scan the Low Volume, Medium Volume, or High Volume bar code.

Low Volume

Medium Volume

*High Volume

Beeper Tone

To select a decode beep frequency (tone), scan the appropriate bar code.

Low Frequency

Medium Frequency

*High Frequency

Beeper Frequency Adjustment

This parameter adjusts the frequency of the high beeper tone from the nominal 2500 Hz to another frequency matching the resonances of the installation. Program this in 10 Hz increments from 1220 Hz to 3770 Hz.

To increase the frequency, scan the bar code below, then scan three numeric bar codes beginning on page 10-93 that correspond to the desired frequency adjustment divided by 10. For example, to set the frequency to 3000 Hz (an increase of 500 Hz), scan numeric bar codes 0, 5, 0, corresponding to 50, or (500/10).

To decrease the frequency, scan the bar code below, then scan three numeric bar codes beginning on page 10-93 that correspond to the value (256 - desired adjustment/10). For example, to set the frequency to 2000 Hz (a decrease of 500 Hz), scan numeric bar codes 2, 0, 6, corresponding to 206, or (256 - 500/10).

Beeper Frequency Adjustment
(Default: 2500 Hz)

Laser On Time

This parameter sets the maximum time decode processing continues during a scan attempt. It is programmable in 0.1 second increments from 0.5 to 9.9 seconds.

To set a Laser On Time, scan the bar code below. Next scan two numeric bar codes beginning on page 10-93 that correspond to the desired on time. Include a leading zero for times less than 1.0 second. For example, to set an on time of 0.5 seconds, scan the bar code below, then scan the 0 and 5 bar codes. To change the selection or to cancel an incorrect entry, scan the Cancel bar code on page 10-95.

Laser On Time

Scan Angle

NOTE This option is supported by the Symbol MS1207FZY only.

This parameter sets the scan angle to the default or alternate angle.

*Default Angle

Alternate Angle

Power Mode

This parameter determines whether or not power remains on after a decode attempt. In Low Power mode, the scanner enters into a low power consumption mode when possible, provided all WAKEUP signals are released. In Continuous On mode, power remains on after each decode attempt.

Continuous On

*Low Power

Trigger Mode

• Level - A trigger pull activates the laser and decode processing. The laser remains on and decode processing continues until a trigger release, a valid decode, or the Laser On Time-out is reached.
• Pulse - A trigger pull activates the laser and decode processing. The laser remains on and decode processing continues until a valid decode or the Laser On Time-out is reached.
• Continuous - The laser is always on and decoding.
• Blink - This trigger mode is used for triggerless ScanStand operation. Scanning range is reduced in this mode. This mode is only supported by Symbol MS1207FZY models.

Level

Pulse

*Continuous

Blink

Scanning Mode

NOTE These options are supported by the Symbol MS2207, MS2207VHD, and MS3207 only.

Select one of the following scanning modes:

• Smart Raster • Always Raster
- Slab Only Raster • Programmable Raster
- Omnidirectional (Cyclone) • Semi-Omnidirectional

NOTE If you select Omnidirectional, Motorola recommends disabling the following parameters: PDF417, MicroPDF417, DataBar Limited, CC-C, CC-AB, TLC-39 and Linear UPC.

* Smart Raster

Always Raster

Programmable Raster

Slab Pattern

Omnidirectional Pattern

Semi-Omni Pattern

Aiming Mode

For handheld mode only, select an aiming dot to appear for a normal or extended period of time.

*No Aiming Dot

Aiming Dot Normal (200 ms) Timeout

Aiming Dot Extended (400 ms) Timeout

Programmable Raster Height and Raster Expansion Speed

NOTE Only the Symbol MS2207, MS2207VHD, and MS3207 support these options.

If you enabled Programmable Raster or Always Raster, this parameter selects the laser pattern's height and rate of expansion. This parameter is intended for very specific applications, and is usually not necessary.

To select the laser pattern's height and/or rate of expansion:

1. Scan the bar code for either Raster Height or Raster Expansion Speed below.
2. Scan two numeric bar codes beginning on page 10-93 that represent a two-digit value. Valid values are between 01 and 15.

To change the selection or to cancel an incorrect entry, scan the Cancel bar code on page 10-95.

Raster Height (Default 15)

Raster Expansion Speed (Default 11)

Timeout Between Decodes

Timeout Between Decodes, Same Symbol

When in Continuous triggering mode, this parameter sets the minimum duration of not decoding data before the scanner decodes a second bar code identical to one just decoded. This reduces the risk of accidentally scanning the same symbol twice. It is programmable in 0.1 second increments from 0.0 to 9.9 seconds. The recommended interval is 0.6 seconds

Timeout Between Decodes, Different Symbol

This option sets the minimum duration of not decoding data before the scanner decodes a second (different) bar code. Use this in Continuous mode to prevent the scanner from decoding when a different symbol appears in the scanner's field of view before the timeout period between decodes expires. This is programmable in 0.1 second increments from 0.0 to 9.9 seconds. The recommended value is 0.0 seconds.

Select the timeout between decodes for the same or different symbols.

1. Scan the option bar code to set.
2. Scan two numeric bar codes beginning on page 10-93 which correspond to the desired interval, in 0.1 second increments.

To change the selection or to cancel an incorrect entry, scan the Cancel bar code on page 10-95.

Supplementals are bar codes appended according to specific format conventions (e.g., UPC A+2, UPC E+2, EAN 13+2). The following options are available:

• If you select Ignore UPC/EAN with Supplementals, and the scanner is presented with a UPC/EAN plus supplemental symbol, the scanner decodes UPC/EAN and ignores the supplemental characters.
• If you select Decode UPC/EAN with Supplementals, the scanner only decodes UPC/EAN symbols with supplemental characters, and ignores symbols without supplementals.
• If you select Autodiscriminate UPC/EAN Supplementals, the scanner decodes UPC/EAN symbols with supplemental characters immediately. If the symbol does not have a supplemental, the scanner must decode the bar code the number of times set via Decode UPC/EAN Supplemental Redundancy on page 10-28 before transmitting its data to confirm that there is no supplemental.
• If you select one of the following Supplemental Mode options, the scanner immediately transmits EAN-13 bar codes starting with that prefix that have supplemental characters. If the symbol does not have a supplemental, the scanner must decode the bar code the number of times set via Decode UPC/EAN Supplemental Redundancy on page 10-28 before transmitting its data to confirm that there is no supplemental. The scanner transmits UPC/EAN bar codes that do not have that prefix immediately.

UPC/EAN Security Level

MiniScan scanners offer four levels of decode security for UPC/EAN bar codes. Select higher levels of security for decreasing levels of bar code quality. Increasing security decreases the scanner's aggressiveness, so choose only that level of security necessary for the application.

UPC/EAN Security Level 0

This default setting allows the scanner to operate in its most aggressive state, while providing sufficient security in decoding “in-spec” UPC/EAN bar codes.

*UPC/EAN Security Level 0

UPC/EAN Security Level 1

Select this option if misdecodes occur. This security level eliminates most misdecodes.

UPC/EAN Security Level 1

UPC/EAN Security Level 2

Select this option if Security level 1 fails to eliminate misdecodes.

UPC/EAN Security Level 2

UPC/EAN Security Level 3

If misdecodes still occur after selecting Security Level 2, select this security level. Be advised, selecting this option is an extreme measure against misdecoding severely out of spec bar codes. Selecting this level of security significantly impairs the scanner's decoding ability. If you need this level of security, try to improve the quality of the bar codes.

UPC/EAN Security Level 3

Linear UPC/EAN Decode

This option applies to code types containing two adjacent blocks (e.g., UPC-A, EAN-8, EAN-13). When enabled, a bar code transmits only when one laser scan successfully decodes both the left and right blocks. Enable this option when bar codes are in proximity to each other.

Set Lengths for Code 39

The length of a code refers to the number of characters (i.e., human readable characters), including check digit(s) the code contains. Set lengths for Code 39 to any length, one or two discrete lengths, or lengths within a specific range. If Code 39 Full ASCII is enabled, Length Within a Range or Any Length are the preferred options.

One Discrete Length - This option limits decodes to only Code 39 symbols containing a selected length. Select lengths using the Numeric Bar Codes on page 10-93. For example, to decode only Code 39 symbols with 14 characters, scan Code 39 - One Discrete Length, then scan 1 followed by 4. To change the selection or cancel an incorrect entry, scan the Cancel bar code on page 10-95.

Code 39 - One Discrete Length

Two Discrete Lengths - This option limits decodes to only those Code 39 symbols containing either of two selected lengths. Select lengths using the Numeric Bar Codes on page 10-93. For example, to decode only those Code 39 symbols containing either 2 or 14 characters, select Code 39 - Two Discrete Lengths, then scan 0, 2, 1, and then 4. To change the selection or cancel an incorrect entry, scan the Cancel bar code on page 10-95.

Code 39 - Two Discrete Lengths

Length Within Range - This option limits decodes to only those Code 39 symbols within a specified range. Select lengths using the Numeric Bar Codes on page 10-93. For example, to decode Code 39 symbols containing between 4 and 12 characters, first scan Code 39 Length Within Range. Then scan 0, 4, 1 and 2 (single digit numbers must always be preceded by a leading zero). To change the selection or cancel an incorrect entry, scan the Cancel bar code on page 10-95.

*Disable Code 39 Check Digit

Transmit Code 39 Check Digit

Scan this symbol to transmit the check digit with the data.

Transmit Code 39 Check Digit (Enable)

Scan this symbol to transmit data without the check digit.

When enabled, the ASCII character set assigns a code to letters, punctuation marks, numerals, and most control keystrokes on the keyboard.

The first 32 codes are non-printable and are assigned to keyboard control characters such as BACKSPACE and RETURN. The other 96 are called printable codes because all but SPACE and DELETE produce visible characters.

Code 39 Full ASCII interprets the bar code special character (( + \% /) preceding a Code 39 character and assigns an ASCII character value to the pair. For example, when Code 39 Full ASCII is enabled and a +B is scanned, it is interpreted as b, %J as ?, and \H emulates the keystroke BACKSPACE. Scanning ABC\M outputs the keystroke equivalent of ABC ENTER.

Do not enable Code 39 Full ASCII and Trioptic Code 39 simultaneously.

The scanner does not autodiscriminate between Code 39 and Code 39 Full ASCII.

Macro PDF Features

NOTE Only the Symbol MS2207, MS2207VHD, and MS3207 support these options.

Transmit Symbols in Codeword Format

Enable this to transmit each PDF symbol as directly decoded data codewords, whether or not that symbol is part of a macro PDF sequence. Note that data is output as codeword values, not as interpreted data.

“Codeword values” is an ASCII representation of a number from 000 to 928 for each codeword, preceded by an escape character. This escape character is a backslash by default, but you can change this value. For example, the codeword value 005 is sent to the host in the form of \005 for GLIs, and \C005C for ECIs. This output format is based on the AIM USA Uniform Symbology Specification for PDF417 (1994).

All output codewords are exactly 4 characters for GLIs and 6 characters for ECIs. However, there can be non-decodable characters in the PDF symbol, such as a GLI sequence. This special codeword sequence activates a certain kind of interpretation to the encoded data. Non-decodable codewords like GLIs are embedded in the output stream like any other codeword, e.g., \927\001.

Because GLIs are indistinguishable from other codewords in the output data stream, the host must recognize them as GLIs and process their interpretations.

Note that when a macro PDF sequence is transmitted, the last character in the last block of data transmitted is always \922 (if selected). This indicates the end of that macro PDF transmission.

Scan the appropriate bar code to enable or disable this.

Enable Transmit In Codeword Format

*Disable Transmit In Codeword Format

Transmit Unknown Codewords

Select Transmit Unknown Codewords to use the output codeword format for transmitting any non-GLI or non-macro PDF codeword. Select Do Not Transmit Unknown Codewords to sound a decode error beep when an unknown codeword is found.

Delete Character Set ECIs

Select Delete Character Set ECIs to delete any escape sequences representing Character Set ECIs (also known as GLIs) from its buffer before transmission. In many receiving systems, Character Set ECIs can be removed without affecting the way data is displayed or processed.

Select Transmit Character Set ECIs to transmit data from PDF417 and MicroPDF417 bar codes containing Character Set ECIs, even when the ECI Protocol is disabled.

Scan a bar code to delete or transmit character set ECIs.

Delete Character Set ECIs

*Transmit Character Set ECIs

ECI Decoder

This parameter enables the scanner to interpret any Extended Channel Interpretations (ECIs) that are supported by the scanner firmware. This does not affect symbols not encoded using ECIs. This version of the product supports ECIs 000900 through 000913, used for efficient encoding of Common Data Syntax Format 00-99. If this parameter is disabled, and a symbol is scanned that was encoded using an ECI escape, the scanner transmits the ECI escape followed by the uninterpreted data.

Transmit Macro PDF User-Selected Fields

NOTE Only the Symbol MS2207, MS2207VHD, and MS3207 support these options.

Enable or disable each of the following parameters to indicate whether or not to transmit the specified field in subsequently scanned Macro PDF417 symbols. The options cannot be changed in the middle of a Macro PDF set entry. All user-selected fields are prefixed by \923 for GLIs, and \C923C for ECIs. Tags and examples in the following parameters demonstrate GLI protocol, but the ECI tag (\C923C) can be used instead if ECI protocol is enabled.

Chapter 11 RS-232 Interface

Introduction

This chapter provides RS-232 host information for setting up the MiniScan XX07 Series scanner. The RS-232 interface connects the MiniScan scanner to point-of-sale devices, host computers, or other devices with an available RS-232 port (e.g., com port).

If Table 11-2 does not list your host, set the communication parameters to match the host device. Refer to the documentation for the host device.

This scanner uses TTL RS-232 levels which interface with all PCs with no additional hardware.

NOTE Particularly noisy electrical environments may require a cable with an RS-232 transceiver. To obtain this cable contact Motorola Enterprise Mobility Support.

Throughout the programming bar code menus, asterisks (*) indicate default values.

Hardware Handshaking

The data interface consists of an RS-232 port designed to operate either with or without the hardware handshaking lines, Request to Send (RTS), and Clear to Send (CTS).

Disable Standard RTS/CTS handshaking to transmit scan data as it becomes available. Select Standard RTS/CTS handshaking to transmit scan data according to the following sequence:

• The scanner reads the CTS line for activity. If CTS is asserted, the scanner waits up to the Host Serial Response Time-out for the host to negate the CTS line. If, after the Host Serial Response Time-out (default), the CTS line is still asserted, the scanner sounds a transmit error and discards any scanned data.
• When the CTS line is negated, the scanner asserts the RTS line and waits up to the Host Serial Response Time-out for the host to assert CTS. When the host asserts CTS, the scanner transmits the data. If, after the Host Serial Response Time-out (default), the CTS line is not asserted, the scanner sounds a transmit error, and discards the data.
• When data transmission is complete, the scanner negates RTS 10 msec after sending the last character.
• The host responds by negating CTS. The scanner checks for a negated CTS upon the next transmission of data.

During data transmission, the CTS line should be asserted. If CTS is deasserted for more than 50 ms between characters, the transmission is aborted, the scanner sounds a transmission error, and the data is discarded.

If this communications sequence fails, the scanner issues an error indication. In this case, the data is lost and must be rescanned.

If Hardware Handshaking and Software Handshaking are both enabled, Hardware Handshaking takes precedence.

NOTE The DTR signal is jumpered to the active state.

None

Scan the bar code below if to disable Hardware Handshaking.

Standard RTS/CTS

Scan the bar code below to select Standard RTS/CTS Hardware Handshaking.

RTS/CTS Option 1

When RTS/CTS Option 1 is selected, the scanner asserts RTS before transmitting and ignores the state of CTS. The scanner de-asserts RTS when the transmission is complete.

RTS/CTS Option 2

When Option 2 is selected, RTS is always high or low (user-programmed logic level). However, the scanner waits for CTS to be asserted before transmitting data. If CTS is not asserted within the Host Serial Response Time-out (default), the scanner issues an error indication and discards the data.

RTS/CTS Option 3

When Option 3 is selected, the scanner asserts RTS prior to any data transmission, regardless of the state of CTS. The scanner waits up to the Host Serial Response Time-out (default) for CTS to be asserted. If CTS is not asserted during this time, the scanner issues an error indication and discards the data. The scanner de-asserts RTS when transmission is complete.

Software Handshaking

This parameter offers control of the data transmission process in addition to, or instead of, that offered by hardware handshaking. There are five options.

If Software Handshaking and Hardware Handshaking are both enabled, Hardware Handshaking takes precedence.

None

When this option is selected, data is transmitted immediately.

*None

ACK/NAK

When this option is selected, after transmitting data, the scanner expects either an ACK or NAK response from the host. When the scanner receives a NAK, it re-transmits the data and waits for either an ACK or NAK. After three unsuccessful attempts to send data, the scanner issues an error indication and discards the data.

The scanner waits up to the programmable Host Serial Response Time-out to receive an ACK or NAK. If the scanner does not get a response in this time, it issues an error indication and discards the data. There are no retries when a time-out occurs.

ACK/NAK

ENQ

When this option is selected, the scanner waits for an ENQ character from the host before transmitting data. If the scanner does not receive an ENQ within the Host Serial Response Time-out, it issues an error indication and discards the data. The host must transmit an ENQ character at least every Host Serial Response Time-out to prevent transmission errors.

ENQ

ACK/NAK with ENQ

This combines the two previous options.

ACK/NAK with ENQ

XON/XOFF

An XOFF character turns the scanner transmission off until the scanner receives an XON character. There are two situations for XON/XOFF:

• The scanner receives XOFF before has it data to send. When the scanner has data to send, it waits up to Host Serial Response Time-out for an XON character before transmission. If the scanner does not receive an XON within this time, it issues an error indication and discards the data.
• The scanner receives XOFF during a transmission. Data transmission then stops after sending the current byte. When the scanner receives an XON character, it sends the rest of the data message. The scanner waits indefinitely for the XON.

Chapter 13 Advanced Data Formatting

Introduction

Advanced Data Formatting (ADF) is a means of customizing data before transmission to the host device. Scan data can be edited to suit particular requirements.

Implement ADF by scanning a related series of bar codes, which begin on page 13-8, that programs the scanner with ADF rules.

Avoid using ADF formatting with bar codes containing more than 60 characters. To add a prefix or suffix value for such bar codes, use Add Prefix/Suffix setting. Using ADF with longer bar codes transmits the bar code in segments of length 252 or less (depending on the host selected), and applies the rule to each segment

Rules: Criteria Linked to Actions

ADF uses rules to customize data. These rules perform detailed actions when the data meets certain criteria. One rule may consist of single or multiple criteria applied to single or multiple actions.

For instance, a data formatting rule could be:

Criteria: When scan data is Code 39, length 12, and data at the start position is the string "129",

Actions: pad all sends with zeros to length 8, send all data up to X, send a space.

If you scan a Code 39 bar code of 1299X1559828, the following transmits: 00001299. If you scan a Code 39 bar code of 1299X15598, this rule is ignored because the bar code does not meet the length criteria.

The rule specifies the editing conditions and requirements before data transmission occurs.

Using ADF Bar Codes

When programming a rule, make sure the rule is logically correct. Plan ahead before scanning.

To program each data formatting rule:

• Start the Rule. Scan the Begin New Rule bar code on page 13-8.
• Criteria. Scan the bar codes for all pertinent criteria. Criteria can include code type (e.g., Code 128), code length, or data that contains a specific character string (e.g., the digits "129"). These options are described in Criteria on page 13-11.
• Actions. Scan all actions related to, or affecting, these criteria. The actions of a rule specify how to format the data for transmission. These options are described in ADF Bar Code Menu Example on page 13-2.
• Save the Rule. Scan the Save Rule bar code on page 13-8. This places the rule in the "top" position in the rule buffer.
• Erase criteria, actions, and entire rules by scanning the appropriate bar code on page 13-9.

ADF Bar Code Menu Example

This section provides an example of how to enter ADF rules for scan data.

An auto parts distribution center wants to encode manufacturer ID, part number, and destination code into their own Code 128 bar codes. The distribution center also has products that carry UPC bar codes, placed there by the manufacturer. The Code 128 bar codes have the following format:

MMMMPPPPPDD

Where: M = Manufacturer ID

P = Part Number

D = Destination Code

The distribution center uses a PC with dedicated control characters for manufacturer ID , part number , and destination code . At this center the UPC data is treated as manufacturer ID code.

The following rules must be entered:

When scanning data of code type Code 128, send the next 5 characters, send the manufacturer ID key , send the next 5 characters, send the part number key , send the next 2 characters, send the destination code key .

When scanning data of code type UPC/EAN, send all data, send the manufacturer ID key .

To enter these rules, see the following steps:

Rule 1: The Code 128 Scanning Rule

Step Bar Code On Page Beep Indication

1 Begin New Rule 13-8 High High
2 Code 128 13-11 High High
3 Send next 5 characters 13-26 High High
4 Send 13-46 High High
5 Send next 5 characters 13-26 High High
6 Send 13-46 High High
7 Send next 2 characters 13-25 High High
8 Send 13-45 High High
9 Save Rule 13-8 High Low High Low

Rule 2: The UPC Scanning Rule

Step Bar Code On Page Beep Indication

1 Begin New Rule 13-8 High High
2 UPC/EAN 13-13 High High
4 Send 13-46 High High
5 Save Rule 13-8 High Low High Low

3 Send all remaining data 13-25 High High

To correct any errors made while entering this rule, scan the Quit Entering Rules bar code on page 13-9. If you already saved the rule, scan the Erase Previously Saved Rule bar code on page 13-9.

Alternate Rule Sets

Group ADF rules into one of four alternate sets which you can turn on and off when needed. This is useful to format the same message in different ways. For example, a Code 128 bar code contains the following information:

Class (2 digits), Stock Number (8) digits, Price (5 digits)

The bar code might look like this:

245671243701500

where:

Class = 24

Stock Number = 56712437

Price = 01500

Ordinarily, data is sent as follows:

24 (class key)

56712437 (stock key)

01500 (enter key)

But, when there is a sale, send only the following:

24 (class key)

56712437 (stock key)

and the cashier keys the price manually.

To implement this, first enter an ADF rule that applies to the normal situation, such as:

Scan Rule Belongs to Set 1. When scanning a bar code of length 15, send the next 2 characters, send the class key, send the next 8 characters, send the stock key, send the data that remains, send the Enter key.

The "sale" rule may look like this:

Scan Rule Belongs to Set 2. When scanning a bar code of length 15, send the next 2 characters, send the class key, send the next 8 characters, send the stock key.

To switch between the two sets of rules, program a “switching rule” to specify the type of bar code that must be scanned to switch between the rule sets. For example, in the case of the “sale” rule above, the rule programmer wants the cashier to scan the bar code “M” before a sale. To do this, enter the following rule:

When scanning a bar code of length 1 that begins with "M", select rule set number 1.

Program another rule to switch back.

When scanning a bar code of length 1 that begins with "N", turn off rule set number 1.

Or include the switching back to normal rules in the "sale" rule:

When scanning a bar code of length 15, send the next 2 characters, send the class key, send the next 8 characters, send the stock key, turn off rule set 1.

For optimal results, scan the Disable All Rule Sets bar code on page 13-10 after programming a rule belonging to an alternate rule set.

In addition to enabling and disabling rule sets within the rules, enable or disable them by scanning the appropriate bar codes on page 13-10.

Rules Hierarchy (in Bar Codes)

The order of programming individual rules is important. Program the most general rule first.

All programmed rules are stored in a buffer. As they are programmed, they are stored at the "top" of a rules list. If you created three rules, the list is configured as follows:

Third Rule

Second Rule

First Rule

When scanning data, the rules list is checked from top to bottom to determine if the criteria matches (and therefore, if the actions occur). Input is modified into the data format specified by the first matching set of criteria it finds. Be sure to program the most general rule first.

For example, if the THIRD rule states:

When scanning a bar code of any length, send all data, then send the ENTER key.

And the SECOND rule states:

When scanning a Code 128 bar code of length 12, send the first four characters, then send the ENTER key, then send all remaining data.

If you scan a Code 128 bar code of length 12, the THIRD rule would apply, and the SECOND rule would appear to not function.

Note that the standard data editing functions also create ADF rules. Scan options are entered as ADF rules, and the hierarchy mentioned above also applies to them. For the scanner, this applies to prefix/suffix programming in the parameter Scan Data Transmission Format on page 10-80.

These rules reside in the same “rule list” as ADF rules, so the order of their creation is also important.

Default Rules

Every unit has a default rule to send all scan data. Units with custom software may have one or more default rules burned in. The rules hierarchy checks user programmable rules first, then the default rules. To disable default rules enter the following general rule in the user programmable buffer:

When receiving scan data, send all data.

Since this rule always applies, ADF will never use the default rules.

Glossary

A

AIM. Automatic Identification Manufacturers, Inc. is the trade association for manufacturers of automatic identification systems.

Alphanumeric. A character set that contains letters, numbers and other characters such as special symbols.

Aperture. The opening in an optical system defined by a lens or baffle that establishes the field of view.

ASCII. American Standard Code for Information Interchange. A 7 bit-plus-parity code representing 128 letters, numerals, punctuation marks and control characters. It is a standard data transmission code in the U.S.

Aspect Ratio. The ratio of symbol height to symbol length in a 2-dimensional symbol.

Autodiscrimination. The ability of an interface controller to determine the code type of a scanned bar code. After this determination is made, the information content is decoded.

Automatic Identification System. The application of various technologies, such as bar code recognition, image recognition, voice recognition and RF/MW transponders, for the purpose of data entry into a data processing system and bypassing the key-entry component of traditional data entry.

B

Background. The area surrounding a printed symbol including the spaces and quiet zones.

Bar. The dark element in a printed bar code symbol.

Bar Code. A pattern of variable-width bars and spaces which represents numeric or alphanumeric data in machine-readable form. The general format of a bar code symbol consists of a leading margin, start character, data or message character, check character (if any), stop character, and trailing margin. Within this framework, each recognizable symbology uses its own unique format. See Symbology.

Bar Code Character. A single group of bars and spaces which represent an individual number, letter, punctuation mark or other symbol.

Bar Code Density. The number of characters represented per unit of measurement (e.g., characters per inch).

Bar Code Reader. A device used to read or decode a bar code symbol.

Bar Code Symbol. The combination of symbol characters and features required by a particular symbology, including quiet zones, start and stop characters, data characters, check characters and other auxiliary patterns, that together form a complete scannable entity. See Symbol.

Bar Height. The dimension of a bar measured perpendicular to the bar width.

Bar Width. Thickness of a bar measured from the edge closest to the symbol start character to the trailing edge of the same bar.

Baud Rate. A measure of the data flow or number of signaling events occurring per second. When one bit is the standard "event," this is a measure of bits per second (bps). For example, a baud rate of 50 means transmission of 50 bits of data per second.

Bi-directional. Denotes that a machine-readable symbol can be read successfully in two directions – either backwards or forwards. Also identifies a scanner that can operate or a bar code that can be read independent of scanning direction.

Binary. Denotes a numbering system to base 2 in which numbers are expressed as combinations of the digits 0 and 1 with positional weighting based on powers of 2. In computing, these can be represented electrically by 'off' and 'on' respectively or in machine-readable symbols by narrow and wide elements or by the absence or presence of a bar module.

Bit. Binary digit. One bit is the basic unit of binary information. Generally, eight consecutive bits compose one byte of data. The pattern of 0 and 1 values within the byte determines its meaning.

Bits per Second (bps). Bits transmitted or received.

bps. See Bits Per Second.

Byte. On an addressable boundary, eight adjacent binary digits (0 and 1) combined in a pattern to represent a specific character or numeric value. Bits are numbered from the right, 0 through 7, with bit 0 the low-order bit. One byte in memory is used to store one ASCII character.

or

A sequential series of bits comprising one character and handled as one unit. Usually encoded in the ASCII format, a byte usually consists of eight bits and represents one alphabetic or special character, two decimal digits or eight binary bits.

C

CDRH. Center for Devices and Radiological Health. A federal agency responsible for regulating laser product safety. This agency specifies various laser operation classes based on power output during operation.

CDRH Class 1. This is the lowest power CDRH laser classification. CDRH Class 1 devices are safe under reasonably foreseeable conditions of operation. Software and other controls to limit exposure to laser light may be required to achieve CDRH Class 1 operation. The CDRH time base for Class 1 devices is 10,000 seconds.

CDRH Class 2. CDRH Class II devices may not emit more than 1 milliwatt average radiant power. Eye protection for CDRH Class II devices is normally afforded by aversion responses, including the blink reflex.

Character. A pattern of bars and spaces which either directly represents data or indicates a control function, such as a number, letter, punctuation mark, or communications control contained in a message.

Character Set. Those characters available for encoding in a particular bar code symbology.

Check Digit. A digit used to verify a correct symbol decode. The scanner inserts the decoded data into an arithmetic formula and checks that the resulting number matches the encoded check digit. Check digits are required for UPC but are optional for other symbologies. Using check digits decreases the chance of substitution errors when a symbol is decoded.

Codabar. A discrete self-checking code with a character set consisting of digits 0 to 9 and six additional characters: (- \$ : / , +).

Code. A set of unambiguous rules specifying the way in which data may be represented as numbers and letters used to represent information. See Number System.

Code 128. A high density symbology which allows the controller to encode all 128 ASCII characters without adding extra symbol elements.

Code 3 of 9 (Code 39). A versatile and widely used alphanumeric bar code symbology with a set of 43 character types, including all uppercase letters, numerals from 0 to 9 and 7 special characters (- . / + % \$ and space). The code name is derived from the fact that 3 of 9 elements representing a character are wide, while the remaining 6 are narrow.

Code 93. An industrial symbology compatible with Code 39 but offering a full character ASCII set and a higher coding density than Code 39.

Code Length. Number of data characters in a bar code between the start and stop characters, not including those characters.

Codeword. As a symbol character value, this is an intermediate level of coding between source data and the graphical encoding in the symbol.

COM port. Communication port; ports are identified by number, e.g., COM1, COM2.

Concatination. The construction of a string of data from two or more strings by appending each string in succession. The linking or chaining together of separate items of data in a bar code symbol or of the data contained in two or more separate bar code symbols (also referred to as message append and structured append).

Continuous Code. A bar code or symbol in which all spaces within the symbol are parts of characters. There are no intercharacter gaps in a continuous code. The absence of gaps allows for greater information density.

Contrast. The difference in reflectance between the black and white (or bar and space) areas of a symbol.

D

Data Identifier. A specified character or string of characters that defines the intended use of the data element that follows. For the purposes of automatic data capture technologies, data identifier refers to the alphanumeric identifiers as defined in ANSI MH10.8.2, formerly known as ANSI/FACT data identifiers.

Data Matrix. This error correcting, 2-dimensional matrix symbology was originally developed in 1989, and a finalized design was completed in 1995 by International Data Matrix. It's capable of encoding various character sets including strictly numeric data, alphanumeric data and all ISO 646 (ASCII) characters, as well as special character sets. The symbology has both error detection and error correction features. Each Data Matrix symbol consists of data regions, which contain nominally square modules set out in a regular array. A dark module is a binary 1 and a light module is a binary 0. There is no specified minimum or maximum for the X or Y dimension. The data region is surrounded by a finder pattern, a perimeter to the data region that is 1 module wide, which is surrounded by a quiet zone on all four sides of the symbol. Two adjacent sides are solid dark lines used primarily to define physical size, orientation and symbol distortion. The two opposite sides consist of alternating dark and light modules. These are used primarily to define the cell structure but also assist in determining physical size and distortion. There are 2 types of Data Matrix symbologies: ECC 000 - 140 with several available levels of convolutional error correction, and ECC 200, which uses Reed-Solomon error correction. For ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 31 purposes, only ECC 200 is recommended. The intellectual property rights associated with Data Matrix have been committed to the public domain.

Data Structure. The stipulation of the type of information that is included in a bar code, such as its order and format.

Dead Zone. An area within a scanner's field of view, in which specular reflection may prevent a successful decode.

Decode. To recognize a bar code symbology (e.g., UPC/EAN) and then analyze the content of the specific bar code scanned.

Decode Algorithm. A decoding scheme that converts pulse widths into data representation of the letters or numbers encoded within a bar code symbol.

Decoder. An electronic package that receives the signals from the scanning function, performs the algorithm to interpret the signals into meaningful data and provides the interface to other devices.

Decryption. Decryption is the decoding and unscrambling of received encrypted data. Also see, Encryption and Key.

Depth of Field. The range between minimum and maximum distances at which a scanner can read a symbol with a certain minimum element width.

Diffuse Reflection. The component of reflected light that emanates in all directions from the reflecting surface.

Discrete 2 of 5. A binary bar code symbology representing each character by a group of five bars, two of which are wide. The location of wide bars in the group determines which character is encoded; spaces are insignificant. Only numeric characters (0 to 9) and START/STOP characters may be encoded.

Discrete Code. A bar code or symbol in which the spaces between characters (intercharacter gaps) are not part of the code.

DRAM. Dynamic random access memory.

E

EAN. European Article Number. This European/International version of the UPC provides its own coding format and symbology standards. Element dimensions are specified metrically. EAN is used primarily in retail.

EAN/UPC. A fixed-length, numeric 13-digit bar code symbol consisting of 30 dark elements and 29 intervening light elements. Each character is represented by 2 bars and 2 spaces over 7 modules. A bar may be comprised of 1, 2, 3 or 4 modules. Each EAN/U.P.C. symbol consists of a leading quiet zone, a start pattern, 7 left-hand data characters, a center bar pattern, 5 right-hand data characters, a Modulo 10 check character, a stop pattern and a trailing quiet zone.

U.P.C. is often considered a 12-digit code. The 13th digit of EAN/U.P.C. symbol is a derived character in the left-most position. In the case of U.P.C., this derived left-most character is a 0.

IEC. International Electrotechnical Commission. This international agency regulates laser safety by specifying various laser operation classes based on power output during operation.

IEC (825) Class 1. This is the lowest power IEC laser classification. IEC Class 1 devices are safe under reasonably foreseeable conditions of operation. Software and other controls to limit exposure to laser light may be required to achieve IEC Class 1 operation. The IEC time base for Class 1 devices is 100 seconds if intentional viewing of laser light is not required in the design or function of the device. The IEC time base for Class 1 devices is 30,000 seconds where intentional viewing of laser light is inherent in the design or function of the device.

Intercharacter Gap. The space between two adjacent bar code characters in a discrete code.

Interleaved 2 of 5. A binary bar code symbology representing character pairs in groups of five bars and five interleaved spaces. Interleaving provides for greater information density. The location of wide elements (bar/spaces) within each group determines which characters are encoded. This continuous code type uses no intercharacter spaces. Only numeric (0 to 9) and START/STOP characters may be encoded.

Interleaved Bar Code. A bar code in which characters are paired together, using bars to represent the first character and the intervening spaces to represent the second.

Light Emitting Diode. See LED.

Liquid Crystal Display (LCD). A display that uses liquid crystal sealed between two glass plates. The crystals are excited by precise electrical charges, causing them to reflect light outside according to their bias. They use little electricity and react relatively quickly. They require external light to reflect their information to the user.

M

Matrix Symbols. A 2-dimensional array of regular polygon shaped cells where the center-to-center distance of adjacent elements is uniform. The arrangement of the cells represents data and/or symbology functions. Matrix symbols may include recognition patterns that do not follow the same rule as the other elements within the symbol (i.e., Data Matrix and Maxicode).

MIL. 1 mil = 1 thousandth of an inch; a unit of measure often used to quantify bar code printing and scanning dimensions.

Misread (Misdecode). A condition which occurs when the data output of a reader or interface controller does not agree with the data encoded within a bar code symbol.

Module. (1) The narrowest nominal width unit of measure in a symbol. In certain symbologies, element widths are specified as multiples of 1 module. Equivalent to X dimension; or (2) a single cell in a matrix symbology used to encode 1 bit of data. In Maxicode, the module shape is a regular hexagon. In Data Matrix, the module shape is nominally square. In PDF417, the module shape is a regular rectangle. In bar code symbologies, the module shape is a regular rectangle.

Module Check Digit or Character. A character within the symbol data field calculated using modular arithmetic that is used for error detection. The calculated character is determined by applying a code algorithm to the data field contents. See Check Character.

Moving Beam Bar Code Reader. A device where scanning motion is achieved by mechanically moving the optical geometry.

MRD. Minimum reflectance difference: a formula that is used to determine if there is an adequate difference between absorbed and reflected light.

N

Nominal. The exact (or ideal) intended value for a specified parameter. Tolerances are specified as positive and negative deviations from this value.

Nominal Size. Standard size for a bar code symbol. Most UPC/EAN codes are used over a range of magnifications (e.g., from 0.80 to 2.00 of nominal).

Non-Contact Reader/Scanner. Bar code readers requiring no physical contact with the printed symbol.

Non-read. The absence of data at the scanner output after an attempted scan, which is due to no code, defective code, scanner failure or operator error.

O

Omnidirectional. Bar codes read in any orientation relative to the scanner.

Optical Throw. The distance from the scanner face to the closest point at which symbol can be read; also, optical throw is the difference between range and depth of field.

Orientation. The alignment of the symbol's scan path. Two possible orientations are horizontal with vertical bars and spaces (picket fence) and vertical with horizontal bars and spaces (ladder).

Overhead. The fixed number of characters required for start, stop and checking in a given symbol. For example, a symbol requiring a start, stop and 2 check characters contains 4 characters of overhead.

P

Parameter. A variable that can have different values assigned to it.

PDF417. An error correcting 2-dimensional multi-row symbol developed in 1992 by Symbol Technologies, PDF417 symbols are constructed from 4 bars and 4 spaces over 17 modules. The symbol size is from 3 to 90 rows. There is no specified minimum or maximum for X or Y dimension. With at least the recommended minimum level of error correction, the recommended Y dimension is 3X. With less than the minimum recommended level of error correction, the recommended Y dimension is 4X. A quiet zone of 2X is specified on each side of a symbol. Because of delta decode techniques, the symbology is immune from uniform bar width growth. PDF417 supports cross-row scanning. The intellectual property rights associated with PDF417 have been committed to the public domain.

Percent Decode. The average probability that a single scan of a bar code would result in a successful decode. In a well-designed bar code scanning system, that probability should approach near 100%.
