Frequently Asked Questions - FM208 Newland

How do I power on the FM208?

Connect the FM208 to a host via USB or RS232 cable. It will automatically power on and enter idle mode. No separate power button exists.

How do I reset the FM208 to factory defaults?

Scan the **Load All Factory Default** barcode (Pro CMD: 0001000) from the manual. This resets all user options to factory settings.

How can I set the reading mode?

Scan one of the mode barcodes: **Sensor Mode** (0302010) for automatic sensing, **Continuous Mode** (0302020) for continuous scanning, or **Hand-held Mode** (0302000) if a trigger is available.

How do I clean the scan window?

Use a soft cloth (like glasses cloth) to gently wipe the window. Use a brush to remove dust first. Only use clean water if needed; avoid spraying directly onto the window.

How to enable USB HID keyboard emulation?

Scan **Select USB HID-KBW** (1100020). The scanner will then act as a USB keyboard, transmitting data as keystrokes. No driver needed.

How do I program a user prefix?

1. Scan **Code Programming ON** (0006010). 2. Scan **Program User Prefix** (0300000). 3. Enter hex digits for your prefix (e.g., for 'CODE' scan 4,3,4,F,4,4,4,5). 4. Scan **Save** (0000160). 5. Scan **Code Programming OFF** (0006000). 6. Scan **Allow User Prefix** (0305010) to enable.

What is the sensor mode timeout?

Sensor Mode Timeout is the period the scanner remains in reading state after the last illumination change. Default is 2000 ms. To change, scan **Sensor Mode Timeout** (0313000) followed by digit codes for the desired time in milliseconds, then Save.

How can I test if the scanner is working?

Scan a barcode. A successful read produces one beep for an ordinary barcode or two beeps for a programming barcode. If no beep, check connections and aim correctly.

Can I read both 1D and 2D barcodes?

Yes, the FM208 supports major 1D symbologies (Code128, EAN, UPC, etc.) and 2D symbologies (QR Code, Data Matrix, PDF417, Aztec, etc.). By default, reading of all common types is enabled.

How do I change the beeper settings?

Scan **Beep ON** (0203010) to enable beeps, or **Beep OFF** (0203000) to disable. Beeps indicate power-on, successful reads, and errors.

Programming Outline

Introduction

There are 3 ways to program user options:

Code Programming: special encoded barcodes to work on "read & set options" base;1.

Command Programming: a ASCII string, the Imager received from data cable as commands to set options;2.

1. QuickSet: a programming software exclusively use by Newland Auto-ID products. It displays decoded data and images captured. Programming work on "choose & set options" base from dialog windows.

Note: Programming results restore in non-volatile memories and will not lose when Power OFF.

Code Programming

Please read "Code Programming ON" bar to activate "Code Programming" function. More than one programming code can be read at a time allows various programming. Terminate code programming function by reading "Code Programming OFF", or by reading an ordinary barcode.

Some code programming may use digits. They can be "input" by reading relevant codes See Appendix for digit codes.

** Code Programming OFF

【Pro CMD: 0006000】

Code Programming ON

【Pro CMD: 0006010】

Command Programming

The Programming Command (Pro CMD) pairs a unique Programming Code. Sending commands to the Imager is identical with Code Programming. A full command is formed by [Start Symbol "nls" + Pro CMD = Parameters]. There are 4 ways to program a command:

"nls" + Pro CMD1.

E.g. [nls0100060], set RS232 transmit Baud Rate to 38400bps

"nls" + Pro CMD = Decimal Parameter2.

It is used to define parameter, such as Min Message Length.

E.g. [nls0312040=10], select Sensor Mode Sensitivity to be 10

"nls" + Pro CMD = Hex Parameter3.

It is used to program Prefix, Suffix, Stop Bits, CodeID, Message Length, and Message Intersection.

E.g. [nls0310000=0x0d0a], program Suffix to be CR/LF

"nls" + Pro CMD = "Parameter"4.

Letters, digits and characters can be embraced by quotation mark as parameter.

E.g. [nls0300000="AUTO-ID"], program Prefix to be AUTO-ID

Reading

Sensor Mode Timeout

When the engine reading at Sensor Mode, the period of time before automatically switch to idle is Sensor Mode Timeout. The timeout counts from the latest environmental lamination change. Notice that a reading completed will terminate reading status. Default timeout = 2000 ms.

Sensor Mode Timeout

【Pro CMD: 0313000】

Sensor Mode Sensitivity

Sensitivity is the extent to which the engine responds environmental lamination change. Sensitivity value is 0\~20(including).

The lower the sensitivity value chosen, the higher sensitivity will be. The lower the sensitivity value chosen, the smaller illumination change will initiate reading.

** High Sensitivity (= 4)

USB Interface

Introduction

When using a USB connection, the default protocol is USB DataPipe.

USB DataPipe is a Newland Auto-ID Co., Ltd. developed protocol. The DataPipe driver should be installed on the Host. It supports data transmission and user preference programming. QuickSet can perform with DataPipe.

USB DataPipe can be emulated to RS232 input into the Host. The virtual RS232 connection use DB9 DIN and perform exactly the same as genuine RS232. USB DataPipe driver is required.

When only data transmission is needed through USB connection, USB HID-KBW can apply. It emulates the Imager transmission to be a USB keyboard input. It works in “Plug and Play” base. There is no driver required.

USB connection (no driver needed) supports simulating the Imager transmission to be a USB keyboard input. The Host receives keystrokes of the virtual keyboard. It works in “Plug and Play” base. There is no driver required.

Select USB HID-KBW

【Pro CMD: 1100020】

If the input field of the Host allows keyboard input, no software needed to assist HID-KBW input.

USB Country Keyboard Types

» The keyboard arrangements and country codes vary in different countries. Refer country codes to the table “USB Country Keyboard Types”. Follow the steps bellow to program.

1. "Code Programming ON"

2. "Select Country Code" >>

3. Read digit codes (according to country code) >>

Unknown Characters, Beep

HID-KBW deams an unknown character to be a character is not included in a country keyboard type. It may not be able to allocate and send a keystroke, thus lead to an error beep.

** No Beep, Unknown Character

【Pro CMD: 1103030】

Beep, Unknown Character

【Pro CMD: 1103031】

Example

Suppose select country keyboard types France (number 7), read a barcode "ADF". Since the "D" (0xD0) is not included in France country code, the Imager skip "D" and transmit "AF". For factory default, no beep produced. Read "Beep, Unknown Character" to indicate unknown character.

Emulate ALT + keypad

When enabled, all characters are sent as ASCII sequences over the numeric keypad:

“ALT Make” → “ALT Break”

** No Emulate ALT + keypad

【Pro CMD: 1103060】

Emulate ALT + keypad

【Pro CMD: 1103061】

Regardless country keyboard selections, full ASCII characters (0x00\~0xff) can be sent. Sending speed is slow.

Suppose country code “7”, France is selected, and “Emulate ALT + keypad” is enabled.

Barcode message "ADF" (65/208/70) will be sent as:

1. “ALT make” + “0, 6, 5” + “ALT Break”

2. “ALT make” + “2, 0, 8” + “ALT Break”

3. “ALT make” + “0, 7, 0” + “ALT Break”

When enabled, function characters (0x00\~0x1F) are sent as ASCII sequences over the numeric keypad.

“Ctrl make” → Hit function key → “Ctrl Break”

1. Keystroke "A"
2. Input "Ctrl I" by "Ctrl make", Keystroke "I", "Ctrl break"
3. Keystroke "F"

For some text editors “Ctrl I” is italic convert. So the output may be “AF”

Enable “Emulate ATL + keypad” will automatically disable “Emulate CTRL + keypad”

Medium Delay(20ms)

【Pro CMD: 1103051】

Long Delay(40ms)

【Pro CMD: 1103052】

CAPS Lock Override

The case of the data is inverted regardless of the state of the Caps Lock key on the Host. Lower case and upper case are converted correspondingly.

** No CAPS Lock Override

【Pro CMD: 1103010】

CAPS Lock Override

【Pro CMD: 1103020】

"Convert Case" option prevails "CAPS Lock Override"

Enable “CAPS Lock Override”, barcode message “AbC” is transmitted as “aBc”

Convert Case

The Imager converts all barcode messages to the selected case.

** No Case Conversion

【Pro CMD: 1103040】

Convert All to Upper Case

【Pro CMD: 1103041】

Convert All to Lower Case

【Pro CMD: 1103042】

Example

Read “Convert All to Lower Case”, Barcode message “AbC” is sent as “abc”

Emulate Numeric Keypad

Read “Emulate Numeric Keypad” to enable the function. “0\~9./*-+” of the barcode message will be emulated as keystrokes on numeric keypad. Otherwise “0\~9./*-+” is emulated as keystrokes on main keyboard.

This function is affected by the current state of "Num Lock" of numeric keypad.

Numeric keypad is normally at the right of a standard keyboard. “Num Lock” light on, input “0\~9./*-+”; “Num Lock” light off, input their function value.

** Disable Emulate Numeric Keypad

【Pro CMD: 1103110】

Emulate Numeric Keypad

【Pro CMD: 1103120】

Check Num Lock light before use this function

Enable “Emulate ALT + keypad” will automatically disable this function

Enable “Visual Number Keyboard” and read the “A4.5” barcode. If “Num Lock” on the host is ON, the data received will be “A4.5”. If “Num Lock” is OFF, host will receive the data from keyboard as follow:

Host receives data “A”. This character is not included in keyboard, thus the data will be sent as normal.

Next, host receives data “4” corresponding to the instruction of “Cursor move to left”.

Then, host receives data “.” corresponding to the instruction of “delete the character just back of cursor”.

There is no input generated by data “4” as the data “5” corresponds to NO instructions.

USB DataPipe

This protocol is defined by Newland Auto-ID. A driver has to be installed before using this protocol to communicate with reader,

The advantage of using this protocol is the speedy data transmission. Meanwhile, the SDK can be easily integrated into the application system.

RS232 Interface

Inteuduction

Under RS232 connection, the engine and the Host should use the same communication parameters: baud rate, parity check, data bits select and stop bits select.

Baud Rate

Baud rate is the bits transmitted per second (8 bits per bytes). The engine and the Host must communicate at the same baud rate.

The reader supports baud rate as following:

Intruducation

1D barcode message could contain digits, letters and symbols, etc. 2D barcode message could contain more data such as Chinese characters and other 2 bytes characters.

Practically, barcode message is insufficient for usage. For example, the barcode format, the date or a “new line character” can be useful. Mostly these informations are not included in a barcode and thus to keep it short and flexible possible.

Prefix/Suffix appended to barcode message fulfills the usage mentioned above. They can be appended, removed and modified without changing the original barcode message.

Barcode processing sequences:

1. Intersect barcode message

2. Append Prefix/Suffix

3. Pack

4. Terminate with Stop Suffix and transmit

General Programming

Prohibit or Allow Prefix/Suffix

Prohibit All Prefix/Suffix: Transmit barcode message with no Prefix/Suffix.

Message Intersect & Pack

Introduction

This chapter introduces Message Intersect & Pack.

Message intersection only affects plain barcode message.

Plain barcode message usually consists of several information sections. Sections may consist of several bytes and have specific indications such as merchandise ID, manufacturer and so on.

Intersection can select section(s) required to transmit, and thus to skip other unnecessary sections in the result shown.

Normally the processing sequence is: “read to obtain plain barcode message” —> “intersect” —> “append prefix/suffix” —> “append stop suffix” —> “transmit”

A special programming, pack, can insert barcode messages into a certain message format.

Then the processing sequence is: “read to obtain barcode message” —> “intersect” —> “append prefix/suffix” —> “pack” —> “append stop suffix” - “transmit”

Message Intersect

introduction

» Intersection Rule No.1: only affects selected symbologies' plain barcode message. Note that one intersection option affects all barcodes of the barcode format.
» Intersection Rule No.2: Maximum 3 intersection options can be restored in the non-volatile memory. Inputting a new option works at “first in last out” manner.

For example, there are 3 options restored in order: Code 128, Code 39, QR Code. Program UPC-A intersection option and save. The 3 options restored in order should be: Code 39, QR Code, UPC-A.

» Intersection Rule No.3: For one barcode format, if there are more than one options restored, the very newest input prevail.

For example, there are 3 options restored: Code 128 option A, QR Code option, Code 128 option B. The Code 128 option B prevails.

$$ [ \mathrm{STX} + \mathrm{ATTR} + \mathrm{LEN} ] + [ \mathrm {AL_TYPE} + \mathrm{DATA} ] + [ \mathrm{LRC} ] $$

STX: 0x02

ATTR: 0x00 >>

LEN: Barcode message length is expressed by 2 bytes, range “0x0000\~0xFFFF” which is between 0 and 65535.

AL_TYPE: 0x36

DATA: Barcode message >>

LRC: Parity byte >>

The algorithm:

1. computation sequence is LRC=0xFF+STX+ATTR+LEN+AL_TYPE+DATA

2. computation method is XOR, byte by byte.

ESC AddLen Pack

ESC_AddLen pack format:

$$ [ \mathrm{STX} ] + [ \mathrm{LEN} ] + [ \mathrm{DATA} ] + [ \mathrm{ETX} ] + [ \mathrm{BCC} ] $$

STX: 0x02。

LEN: Barcode message length is expressed by 4 bytes. Every byte for an ASCII, and thus it ranges “0\~9999”. For example, LEN=0x30303137, refer to the ASCII chart for decimal value. 0x30303137=0017 (0x30=0, 0x31=1, 0x37=7).

DATA: Barcode message

ETX: 0x03。

BCC: Parity byte.

The algorithm:

1. computation sequence is BCC = [STX] + [LEN] + [DATA] + [ETX]

2. computation method is XOR, byte by byte

Batch Programming

Itruducation

Batch Programming can integrate a programming sequence into one barcode.

Batch Programming Rules:

1. Sub-command is in this format: Programming Command + Parameters
2. Sub-commands are terminated by semicolons. Note that there is no blank between a sub-command and its terminator semicolon.
3. "Save Programming" (0000160) to terminate
4. Use Barcode Generator software to make the 2D batch barcode.

For example, to generate a batch barcode for “Illumination Keep ON” (0200030), “Sensor Mode” (0302010), “Sensor Mode Timeout = 2 seconds” (0313000), and “Disable Fixed Length Selection” (0405140) for Interleaved 2 of 5.

0200030; 0302010; 0313000 = 2000; 0405140; 0000160; Generate a batch code.

Save and Abort

In order to save the data received “Save” has to be read after data transition completed. If error occurs when reading data,

the wrong data can be deleted and the setting up can be done again..

Eg, after a program code is received then ‘1 2 3’ in order is received, if then read “Abort One Data of Current Setting” the “3” will be deleted; if read “Abort One String of Current Setting” the ‘123’ will be deleted; if read “Abort Current Setting” both the program code and ‘123’ will be deleted, the device will be on status of “initiating program code”
