Chapter 1 Setting Up Your Scanner

Introduction

The Cyclone™ M2000 Series scanner combines the benefits of multiple scan patterns (omnidirectional, semi-omnidirectional, 2D raster, and single scan line) with a light-weight, hands-free/hand-held design. The scanner's built-in stand seamlessly accommodates both counter-top and hand-held use. The scanner can be programmed to emit the preferred scan pattern for both counter-top and hand-held use.

The M2000 successfully reads most bar code symbologies, densities, and colors, produced by a wide range of printing techniques.

  • M2004-I290 (RS-232C with EAS) also supports Checkpoint VII Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS).
• M2005-I200 (IBM 468X/469X) is fully compatible with the entire line of IBM 468X/469X terminals. It also accommodates Synapse Smart Cables.
• M2005-I290 (IBM 468X/469X with EAS) provides additional signal lines for EAS deactivation (Checkpoint VII).
  • M2007-I200 (USB) connects to USB-capable host systems, including:
• Desktop PCs and Notebooks
• Apple™ iMac, G4, iBooks
  • IBM SurePOS terminals
  • Network computers.
  It also accommodates Synapse Smart Cables.
• M2007-I290 (USB with EAS) provides additional signal lines for EAS deactivation (Checkpoint VII).

Unpacking

Remove the scanner from its packing and inspect it for damage. If the scanner was damaged in transit, contact the Symbol Global Customer Interaction Center. See page xii for contact information. KEEP THE PACKING. It is the approved shipping container and should be used if you ever need to return your equipment for servicing.

Connecting your Scanner to a Host

To connect the M2000 to your host:

1. Power down the host.
2. Connect the interface cable to the receptacle in the back of the M2000 base. Listen for a click.

AC Outlet Power Supply (Optional) To Host Interface Cable

Figure 1-2. Plugging Connector into Scanner

1. Gently tug the cable to ensure the connector is properly secured.
2. Place the scanner on a flat surface. To initialize correctly, the scanner must be in counter-top (hands-free) mode during power up. (See the Caution statement on page 1-4.)
3. Connect the other end of the interface cable to the host (refer to your host manual to locate the correct port).
4. If necessary, plug the power supply into the power jack on the interface cable. Plug the other end of the power supply into an AC outlet.
5. If you are using a Synapse cable, the scanner autodetects your host. If you are using another cable, set the M2000 to communicate with your particular POS host by scanning the appropriate bar code(s) in Chapter 3, Parameter Menus.

Cyclone™ M2000 Series Product Reference Guide

1. Power up the host.

2. Three power-up beeps sound and all three LEDs light, indicating the scanner is operational.

3. Verify that the scanner is successfully reading bar codes and transmitting their content to the host.

Caution

This scanner is designed to self calibrate whenever power is applied. It must be standing upright on its base (so the bottom switch is depressed) each time the scanner is powered on. Failure to do so may cause erratic behavior of the scanner and/or a buzzing sound.

See Troubleshooting on page 2-11 if you are having problems after completing these steps.

Setting Up the M2007 (USB) Scanner

The M2007 connects through the USB and operates with USB capable hosts including:

• Desktop PCs and Notebooks
• Apple™ iMac, G4, iBooks
• IBM SurePOS terminals
• Network computers.

The following operating systems support the M2007 through USB:

• Windows 98, 2000, ME, NT 5.0
• MacOS 8.0 and above
• 4690 OS v2.3 and above.

Ask your vendor if your host supports USB, and if your version of the operating system supports USB. For more information on USB technology, hosts, and peripheral devices, visit www.usb.org.

Bus Power

An additional power supply is not required to operate the M2007 since the USB host or self-powered hub provides enough power.

To set up your M2007:

1. Connect the cable to the scanner.
2. Plug the series A connector in the USB host or hub, or plug the power+ connector in the IBM SurePOS terminal.
3. Select the USB device type. See USB Device Type on page 3-118.
4. On first installation when using Windows, the software prompts you to select or install the USB device driver. Follow the installation instructions on the screen. The scanner powers up during this installation.
5. If you are not using a North American keyboard, scan the appropriate country bar code under Country Selection on page 3-120.

If you are having any problems with your system, see Troubleshooting on page 2-11.

Switching Cables

Different cables are required for different hosts. To change the scanner cable:

1. Unplug the installed cable's modular connector by depressing the connector clip through the access hole on the bottom of the scanner with a paper clip.

Access Hole

Figure 1-3. Bottom of M2000 Scanner

1. Carefully slide out the cable.

2. Follow the previous steps to connect a new cable.

Caution

Be sure you are using the correct cable for your host. Using a cable incompatible with the host may cause damage to your scanner or host.

Wall Mounting the Scanner

An optional wall-mount bracket is available for using the M2000 in "scanning from above" applications. To wall-mount the M2000:

1. Place the bracket in its desired location on the wall, and place a pencil mark on the wall through each keyhole in the bracket.
2. Remove the bracket, and insert three #6 screws into the pencil marks on the wall. Do not tighten them all the way; leave enough space for the bracket's keyholes to slide onto.
3. Insert the bracket's keyholes over the screws, and slide the bracket down to secure. If necessary, tighten the screws.

Chapter 2 Scanning

Introduction

This chapter describes the various laser patterns and scanning modes available in the M2000 scanner, provides instructions and tips for scanning, and lists beeper and LED indications.

Scanning Modes

The M2000 may be used on the counter-top or in a hand-held orientation. In hand-held use, the scanner operates in triggered mode where you pull the trigger to activate the scan pattern and decode the bar code. In counter-top use, the scanner operates in continuous (constant-on) mode, where it automatically decodes a bar code presented in its field of view.

Laser Patterns

The scanner emits one of four laser patterns:

- Cyclone Omnidirectional Scan Pattern is a highly efficient scan pattern which decodes 1D and EAN/UCC reduced space symbologies in any orientation.

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

• Cyclone Semi-omnidirectional Scan Pattern, an alternative to the full omnidirectional pattern, scans highly truncated 1D and RSS bar codes. The bar code must be presented horizontally with no more than 20^ tilt.
• Raster Scan Pattern directly opens the laser to a full sized raster pattern. Decodes 1D, PDF-417, RSS, and Composite Codes.
• Single Scan Line Pattern (Smart Raster)

creates a single scan line which opens vertically

for PDF-417 symbols using the Smart Raster feature. This feature autodetects the type of bar code being scanned and adjusts its pattern accordingly. This provides optimal performance on 1D, PDF-417, EAN/UCC, RSS and Composite Codes.

Abstract black-and-white striped pattern with no discernible text or symbols

One pattern can be selected for counter-top mode and another for hand-held mode via programming bar code in Chapter 3, Parameter Menus. For hand-held mode, you may alternatively select a pattern by pressing the Scan Pattern Mode Selector button when the scanner is lifted off the counter.

Figure 2-1. Top of M2000 Scanner

To scan in hand-held mode, pick up the scanner and hold it within the scanning range for the bar code. A sensor on the bottom of the scanner's stand detects when the scanner is lifted off the counter, and automatically switches to the programmed hand-held laser pattern.

Smart Raster

In Smart Raster operation, a trigger pull causes a single scan line pattern to appear. If the target is a 1-D bar code, the scanner decodes the symbol. If the target bar code is a 2-D bar code, the scanning patterns open up to a full, optimized raster pattern as soon as the scanner is properly aligned over the bar code.

Single Scan Line Pattern Open Raster Pattern Y-Axis Y-Axis Horizontal Displacement (X - Axis)

Figure 2-2. M2000 Scanning Patterns

Scanning 1D (and RSS) or 2D Bar Codes

When scanning a bar code:

• Keep the scan pattern parallel to the symbol's rows.
• Hold the scanner as still as possible.
• Hold the scanner at an angle which does not cause specular reflection (see Specular Reflection on page 2-7).
• Hold the scanner close for small symbols, and farther away for large symbols. Practice shows what works.

- When using the raster pattern, if the pattern does not cover the top and bottom of a 2D symbol, pull the scanner back until it does. Make sure the scan pattern extends at least three quarters of an inch beyond the edges of the bar code.

3/4" 3/4"

Figure 2-3. Raster Pattern Expanded Over PDF-417 Symbol

- If the vertical scan pattern is not high enough to cover a “tall” PDF-417 symbol, move the scanner slowly down toward the bottom of the symbol, keeping the beam horizontal to the rows, and then slowly back upward to the top. Alternatively, move the scanner further away from the bar code until the scan pattern covers a larger portion of the bar code in the vertical direction.

Abstract black-and-white pattern with vertical lines and a grid of dots, no text or symbols present

Figure 2-4. Moving Scan Pattern Upward and Downward on "Tall" PDF Symbol

- The scan beam does not have to be perfectly parallel with the top and bottom of the symbol (up to a 4^ tilt is permitted).

- Be sure the symbol is in good condition.

The scanner emits a short, high-tone beep and lights the three green LEDs to indicate a successful decode. Decoded data is transmitted to the host device. Be sure that the RS-232C or IBM 4683 parameters (e.g., baud rate, parity) are set properly. Communication parameters are described in Chapter 3, Parameter Menus.

Scanning Composite Bar Codes

Composite Code is a combination of a 1D symbol (RSS, UPC/EAN or UPC/EAN-128) and a 2D symbol (CC-A, CC-B or CC-C).

When scanning a barcode:

• Keep the scan pattern parallel to the 2D symbol's rows.
• Hold the scanner as still as possible.
• Hold the scanner at an angle which does not cause specular reflection (see Specular Reflection on page 2-7).
• Hold the scanner close for small symbols, and farther away for large symbols. Practice shows what works.
• When using the single scan line pattern, aim the scan line at the middle of the 2D portion. The scan pattern will open up to an optimized raster pattern and decode both the 2D and 1D portion of the Composite Code.

Aim the single scan line at the center of the 2D portion

Raster pattern will expand to decode both portions

Note: It is not recommended to scan Composite Codes in the hands-free (on-counter) mode with a single scan line pattern. This will produce multiple reads of the bar code. To avoid this, scan the Composite Code in handheld mode. Composite Codes cannot be read with the Cyclone, Omnidirectional, or Semi-omnidirectional scan patterns.

The scanner allows the user to choose the beep mode to indicate a successful decode. Three options are available:

• Single Beep after both 1D and 2D symbols are decoded; the scanner emits a short, high-tone beep.
• Beep as each code type is decoded; the first decode beep is a short high tone beep if the 2D portion is scanned first, or a short low tone beep if the 1D portion is

Cyclone™ M2000 Series Product Reference Guide

scanned first.

The second decode beep is a short high tone.

- Double Beep after both 1D and 2D symbols are decoded; the scanner emits two short, high tone beeps.

Note: Refer to Composite Beep Mode on page 3-32 for parameters.

The scanner also lights the three green LEDs to indicate a successful decode.

Specular Reflection

When laser beams reflect directly back into the scanner from the bar code, they can "blind" the scanner and make decoding difficult. This is specular reflection.

To avoid this, scan the bar code so that the beam does not bounce directly back. But don't scan at too oblique an angle; the scanner needs to collect scattered reflections from the scan to make a successful decode. Practice quickly shows what tolerances to work within.

Specular reflection: reflected beam interferes. Bar Code Tilt Back At Slight Angle (Up to 30°) No specular reflection. Decode can occur. 30° Bar Code

Figure 2-5. Avoiding Specular Reflection

When scanning a 1D bar code, there is only a small specular dead zone to avoid ( ±2^ from the direct laser beam). The specular dead zone is larger for scanning PDF-417 ( ±9^ from the direct laser beam). However, the scanner is not effective if its beams hit the bar code's surface at an angle greater than 30^ from the normal to that surface.

Short high tone A non-composite bar code was decoded (if decode beeper is enabled).

3 short high tones Power-on or reset. Occurs immediately after the scanner is turned on, indicating that the system software is working properly. If three beeps occur during normal operation, it is due to a reset and any work in progress is lost. If this occurs often, contact the Symbol Services Division.

Parameter Menu Scanning

2 short high tones Correct entry scanned or correct menu sequence performed.

High/low tone Keyboard parameter selected. Enter value using numeric bar codes.

High/low/high/low tone Successful program exit with change in the parameter setting.

Low/high tone Input error, incorrect bar code, or “Cancel” scanned, wrong entry, incorrect bar code programming sequence; remain in program mode.

Communication

4 short low tones Communication error.

High/high/high/low tone Receive error.

Low/high/low tone ADF transmit error.

Composite Codes (default settings)

Short high tone Both portions of the barcode have been successfully decoded (if “Single Beep after both are decoded” mode is enabled).

2 short high tones Scanner decoded 2D portion first and 1D portion second (if “Beep as each code type is decoded” mode is enabled).

1 short low tone and 1 short high tone Scanner decoded 1D portion first and 2D portion second (if “Beep as each code type is decoded” mode is enabled).

2 short high tones Both portions of the barcode have been successfully decoded (if “Double Beep after both are decoded” mode is enabled).

Error

Long low tone Hi-level decode error caused by incorrect symbol.

2 long low tones File ID error. A bar code not in the current MPDF sequence was scanned.

3 long low tones Out of memory. There is not enough buffer space to store the current MPDF symbol.

4 long low tones Bad symbology. You scanned a 1-D or 2-D bar code in an MPDF sequence, a duplicate MPDF label, an incorrect sequence, or are trying to transmit an empty or illegal MPDF field.

5 long low tones Flushing buffer.

Fast warble tone Successful parameter scanned.

Decode Beep Sequence

Short tone Standard decode and transmit beep for all symbols.

Short low tone 1D portion of composite code was decoded. Decode beep follows when entire composite code is decoded.

Short high tone 2D portion of composite code was decoded. Decode beep follows when entire composite code is decoded.

Double short tone MPDF symbol is buffered. A single beep indicates transmission of the buffered data.

LED Indications

The lit LED indicates the selected scan pattern for hand-held and counter-top mode. In hand-held mode, pressing the Scan Pattern Mode Selector button selects the next pattern, and lights the corresponding LED. (The counter-top laser pattern is selectable only via programming bar code.) When a bar code is successfully decoded, all three LEDs light momentarily.

Maintenance

The M2000 scanner is designed to provide reliable service over an extended period of time. The only maintenance required is cleaning the exit window.

• Do not allow any abrasive material to touch the window.
• Remove any dirt particles with a damp cloth.
• Wipe the window using a tissue moistened with ammonia/water.
• Do not spray water or other cleaning liquids directly into the window.

Troubleshooting

Table 2-3. Troubleshooting

Problem Possible Solution
Nothing happens when you follow the operating instructions.	Check the system power.Make sure you are using the correct interface cable for the host device.Check for loose cable connections.Make sure the scanner is programmed to read the symbology you are trying to read. See Chapter 3, Parameter Menus.Check the label to make sure it is not defaced; if damaged beyond its error correction capability, it will not decode.Try scanning a test symbol of the symbology you are trying to read.
Your scanner operates but scanned data is not displayed correctly.	Check the system power.Check for loose cable connections.Check that the communication parameters (baud rate, parity, stop bits, etc.) are set properly for the host device.If you're working with a Synapse cable, refer to your Interface Guide.
The laser does not activate, which is followed by a beep sequence.	You may be scanning in an inappropriately hot environment.Remove the scanner from the environment, or allow the laser to cool down.
Transmitting PDF bar code data through a scanner/wand emulation Synapse cable causes transmit errors.	The scanner/wand emulation Synapse cable has a transmission limit of approximately 46 characters. This does not apply to other Synapse cables.
For the M2007 (USB), no data transmits, or incorrect data transmits, or a low/low/low/low tone sounds.	Check cable connection to scanner and host.Make sure the correct device options and country code parameters are set for the currently attached scanner.Increase Intercharacter Delay.
USB parameters are not working.	Make sure you've selected the correct parameter set.If you scanned a Set Defaults bar code, re-enter your parameters.

Chapter 3 Parameter Menus

Introduction

The M2000 Series Scanner can be programmed to perform various functions, or activate different features. This chapter describes each feature and provides the programming bar codes necessary for selecting these features for your scanner. Before programming, follow the setup instructions in Chapter 1, Setting Up Your Scanner.

The M2000 Series Scanner is shipped with the default settings shown in Table 3-1 on page 3-3. These default values are stored in non-volatile memory and are preserved even when the scanner is powered down.

You can change the default values by scanning single bar codes or short bar code sequences in this chapter. These new values replace the standard default values in memory. The default parameter values can be recalled by scanning the Set All Defaults bar code on page 3-11.

Scanning Sequence Examples

In most cases you need to only scan one bar code to set a specific parameter. For example, if you want to set the baud rate to 9600, simply scan the 9600 bar code listed under Baud Rate on page 3-104. The scanner issues a warble tone, signifying a successful parameter entry.

If you want to set specific code lengths or specify Serial Response Time-Out, you have to scan several bar codes. This procedure is described later in this chapter.

Errors While Scanning

If you make an error during a scanning sequence, just rescan the correct parameter.

Default Table

Table 3-1 lists the defaults for all parameters, and the page number each parameter appears on. If you wish to change any option, scan the appropriate bar code(s).

Set Default Parameter

Scanning this bar code returns all parameters to the values listed in Table 3-1 on page 3-3.

Set All Defaults

Host Type

If you're using a Synapse cable, your host is autodetected, so you don't have to scan a host bar code. If not, select an IBM 46XX or RS-232 host from the following bar code menus.

IBM 46XX Host Types

To select one of the following as a POS Interface, scan the appropriate bar code below.

Note: To properly communicate with 468X/9X terminals, the driver corresponding to the port being used must be loaded and enabled when you are configuring your terminal system. See your terminal's operating manual for details.

Timeout Between Decodes

Timeout Between Decodes, Same Symbol

This option is used in continuous-on mode to prevent the beeper from continuously beeping when a symbol is left in the scanner's field of view. 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

Timeout Between Decodes, Different Symbol is used in continuous-on mode to prevent the beeper from beeping 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 timeouts between decodes for the same or different symbols.

1. Scan the option bar code you wish to set.
2. Scan two numeric bar codes beginning on page 3-141 which correspond to the desired interval, in 0.1 second increments.
3. If you make an error, or wish to change your selection, scan Cancel on page 143.

Note: Autodiscrimination of the EAN128 (right half) of a coupon code is controlled by the Decode UPC/EAN Supplemental Redundancy parameter.

Decode UPC/EAN Supplementals

Supplementals are additionally appended characters (2 or 5) according to specific code format conventions (e.g., UPC A+2, UPC E+2, EAN 8+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.

Set Lengths for Code 39

Lengths for Code 39 may be set for any length, one or two discrete lengths, or lengths within a specific range. The length of a code refers to the number of characters (i.e., human readable characters), including check digit(s) the code contains. If Code 39 Full ASCII is enabled, Length Within a Range or Any Length are the preferred options. See Table A-4 on page A-9 for ASCII equivalents.

• One Discrete Length - Only codes containing a selected length are decoded. For example, if you select Code 39 One Discrete Length, then scan 1, 4, only Code 39 symbols containing 14 characters are decoded.
• Two Discrete Lengths - Only codes containing two selected lengths are decoded. For example, if you select Code 39 Two Discrete Lengths, then scan 0, 2, 1, 4, only Code 39 symbols containing 2 or 14 characters are decoded.
• Length Within Range - A code type within a specified range is decoded. 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).
• Any Length - Code 39 symbols containing any number of characters can be decoded.

Numeric bar codes begin on page 3-141. If you make an error, or wish to change your selection, scan the Cancel bar code on page 3-143.

Transmit Code 39 Check Digit (Enable)

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. Refer to the Table A-4 on page A-9.

Code 39 Full ASCII and Trioptic Code 39 should not be enabled simultaneously.

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

• Two Discrete Lengths - This option allows you to decode only those codes containing two selected lengths. For example, if you select MSI Plessey Two Discrete Lengths, then scan 0, 2, 1, 4, the only MSI Plessey symbols decoded are those containing 2 or 14 characters.
• Length Within Range - This option allows you to decode a code type within a specified range. For example, to decode MSI Plessey symbols containing between 4 and 12 characters, first scan MSI Plessey Length Within Range. Then scan 0, 4, 1 and 2 (single digit numbers must always be preceded by a leading zero).
• Any Length - Scanning this option allows you to decode MSI Plessey symbols containing any number of characters.

Numeric bar codes begin on page 3-141. If you make an error, or wish to change your selection, scan the Cancel bar code on page 3-143.

Code 128 Emulation

When this parameter is enabled, the scanner transmits data from certain MicroPDF-417 symbols as if it was encoded in Code 128 symbols. Transmit AIM Symbology Identifiers must be enabled for this parameter to work.

If Code 128 Emulation is enabled, these MicroPDF-417 symbols are transmitted with one of the following prefixes:

]C1 if the first codeword is 903-907, 912, 914, 915

]C2 if the first codeword is 908 or 909

]C0 if the first codeword is 910 or 911

If disabled, they are transmitted with one of the following prefixes:

]L3 if the first codeword is 903-907, 912, 914, 915

]L4 if the first codeword is 908 or 909

]L5 if the first codeword is 910 or 911

Security Level

The scanner offers four levels of decode security for delta bar codes, which include the Code 128 family, UPC/EAN, and Code 93. Select increasing levels of security for decreasing levels of bar code quality. There is an inverse relationship between security and scanner aggressiveness, so choose only that level of security necessary for any given application.

- Security Level 0: This default setting allows the scanner to operate in its most aggressive state, while providing sufficient security in decoding most "in-spec" bar codes.

• Security Level 1: Select this option if misdecodes occur. This security level should eliminate most misdecodes.

• Security Level 2: Select this option if Security level 1 fails to eliminate misdecodes.

• Security Level 3: If Security Level 2 was selected and misdecodes still occur, select this security level. Be advised, selecting this option is an extreme measure against mis-decoding severely out of spec bar codes. Selecting this level of security significantly impairs the decoding ability of the scanner. If this level of security is necessary, try to improve the quality of the bar codes.

Prefix/Suffix Values

A prefix and/or one or two suffixes may be appended to scan data for use in data editing. These values are set by scanning a four digit number (i.e., four bar codes) that corresponds to key codes for various terminals. See the Table A-4 on page A-9 for ASCII values.

Note: If a keyboard interface is being used, refer to the Synapse "Smart Cable" Interface Guide for keystroke values to be used as prefix/ suffix values.

To set a PREFIX/SUFFIX value:

1. Scan the option bar code you wish to set.
2. Scan four Numeric Bar Codes beginning on page 3-141 which correspond to the ASCII value or keystroke value you wish to assign. The ENTER key is the default for all options.
3. If you make an error, or wish to change your selection, scan the Cancel bar code on page 3-143.

Parity

A parity check bit is the most significant bit of each ASCII coded character. Select the parity type according to host device requirements.

• Odd parity - the parity bit has a value 0 or 1, based on data, to ensure that an odd number of 1 bits is contained in the coded character.
  • Even parity - the parity bit has a value 0 or 1, based on data, to ensure that an even number of 1 bits is contained in the coded character.

- Mark parity - the parity bit is always 1.

• Space parity - the parity bit is always 0.

• None - no parity is required.

Hardware Handshaking

The host exchanges data with the scanner via a serial port, either with or without the hardware handshaking lines, Request to Send (RTS), and Clear to Send (CTS).

Standard RTS/CTS

If Standard RTS/CTS handshaking is selected, scanned data is transmitted according to the following sequence:

• The CTS line must initially be deasserted by the host. If the scanner detects that CTS is asserted (indicating that the host may still be receiving a previous transmission), the scanner waits up to 2 seconds for the host to deassert the CTS line. If, after 2 seconds (default), the CTS line is still asserted, the scanner sounds a transmit error and any scanned data is lost.
• When the CTS line is deasserted, the scanner asserts the RTS line and waits up to 2 seconds for the host to assert CTS. When the host asserts CTS, the scanner transmits the data. If, after 2 seconds (default), the CTS line is not asserted, the scanner sounds a transmit error and discards the data.
• When data transmission is complete, the scanner deasserts RTS 10 msec after sending the last character.
• The host responds by deasserting CTS. The scanner checks for a deasserted CTS upon the next transmission of data.

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

Note: The DTR signal is jumpered active.

Other RTS/CTS Options

The following options offer alternatives to Standard RTS/CTS Handshaking.

- RTS/CTS Option 1: The scanner asserts RTS before transmitting and ignores the state of CTS. The scanner deasserts RTS when the transmission is complete.

- RTS/CTS Option 2: 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 two seconds, the scanner issues an error beep and discards the data.

- RTS/CTS Option 3: The scanner asserts RTS before transmitting, regardless of the state of CTS. The scanner waits up to two seconds for CTS to be asserted. If CTS is not asserted during this time, the scanner issues an error beep and discards the data. The scanner deasserts RTS when transmission is complete.

- RTS/CTS PC: Standard RTS/CTS hardware handshaking used by the PC. The host can deassert CTS to prevent the scanner from transmitting, and the scanner can deassert RTS to prevent the host from transmitting.

Software Handshaking

This parameter offers control of the data transmission process. It may be used instead of, but not in conjunction with, hardware handshaking. ACK/NAK handshaking may be combined with ENQ handshaking.

• No Software Handshaking: Data is transmitted immediately.
- ACK/NAK Only: When this option is selected, after transmitting data, the scanner expects either an ACK or NAK response from the host. When a NAK is received, the scanner transmits the same data again and waits for either an ACK or NAK. After three unsuccessful attempts to send data when NAKs are received, the scanner issues an error indication and discards the data.
- ENQ Only: When this option is selected, the scanner waits for an ENQ character from the host before transmitting data. If an ENQ is not received within 2 seconds, the scanner issues an error indication and discards the data. The host must transmit an ENQ character at least every 2 seconds to prevent transmission errors.
- ACK/NAK with ENQ: This combines the two previous handshaking options.
• XON/XOFF: An XOFF character turns the scanner transmission off until the scanner receives an XON character. There are two situations for XON/XOFF:

- XOFF is received before the scanner has data to send. When the scanner has data to send, it then waits for an XON character before transmission. The scanner waits up to 2 seconds to receive the XON. If the XON is not received within this time, the scanner issues an error indication and discards the data.

- XOFF is received 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.

Select the type of RS-232C software handshaking protocol.

Stop Bit Select

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. The number of stop bits selected (one or two) depends on the number the receiving terminal is programmed to accommodate. Set the number of stop bits to match host device requirements.

Intercharacter Delay

Select the intercharacter delay option matching host requirements. The intercharacter delay gives the host system time to service its receiver and perform other tasks between characters. The delay period can range from no delay to 99 msec in 1 msec increments. After scanning the bar code below, scan two bar codes beginning on page 3-141 to set the desired time-out. If you make an error, or wish to change your selection, scan the Cancel bar code on page 3-143.

Host Serial Response Time-out

This parameter specifies how long the scanner waits for an ACK or NAK before resending. Also, if the scanner wants to send, and the host has already been granted permission to send, the scanner waits for the designated time-out before declaring an error.

The delay period can range from 0.0 to 9.9 seconds in 0.1 second increments. After scanning the bar code below, scan two numeric bar codes beginning on page 3-141. Time durations of less than 1.0 second require a leading zero. If you make an error, or wish to change your selection, scan the Cancel bar code on page 3-143.

USB Device Type

The M2007 attaches to a USB host or hub and supports the USB device options below, depending on the host type and desired mode of operation.

The mode of operation can be dynamically changed. However, the scanner resets and re-enumerates each time a new mode is selected. The re-enumeration process can take a few seconds to complete, during which the scanner turns off, disconnects, and reconnects to the host.

HID Keyboard Emulation

In this mode, the scanned data is presented to the system as if coming from a USB HID (Human Interface Device) keyboard. Most operating systems have native support for this device, so no additional driver installation is required.

IBM SurePOS Hand-Held Bar Code Reader

This mode is supported by an IBM hand-held bar code reader driver on IBM SurePOS terminals.

IBM SurePOS Tabletop Bar Code Reader

This mode is supported by an IBM tabletop bar code reader driver on IBM SurePOS terminals.

Symbol Native Bar Code Reader

This mode is supported by a Symbol bar code reader driver and provides maximal flexibility and control over the scanner. The software will prompt you to select or install the driver. Follow the instructions on the screen.

Symbol COM Port Emulation

In this mode, scanned data is presented to the host as if it originated in a COM port. A Symbol driver is required to support this mode, but it provides compatibility for an application which supports a bar code reader attached to a COM port. The software will prompt you to select or install the driver. Follow the instructions on the screen.

Select the desired type of USB device. The default is IBM Hand-Held USB.

Macro PDF Features

This section discusses programmable Macro PDF features fully supported by the M2000. Macro PDF is a special feature for concatenating multiple PDF symbols into one file. The M2000 can decode symbols that are encoded with this feature, however, the 64K version cannot buffer large sets of macro PDF symbols.

Caution

When printing, keep each Macro PDF sequence separate, as each sequence has unique identifiers. Do not mix bar codes from several Macro PDF sequences, even if they encode the same data. When scanning Macro PDF sequences, scan the entire sequence without interruption. If you scan a mixed sequence, you get two long low beeps for inconsistent file ID or inconsistent symbology error.

Program the required generic decode and data transmission parameters using the bar codes on the following pages. Use the same programming method for setting Macro PDF features as used for standard features.

Note that all parameter settings are stored in non-volatile memory and so are retained after powerdown.

Macro PDF Transmit / Decode Mode Symbols

Select only one of the four options below for handling the decoding of Macro PDF. The scanner can handle up to 64K bytes of decoded data, including any optional field information, except in the mode Transmit Each Macro PDF Symbol Decoded in Sequential Order, where there is no limit to the size of the Macro PDF set.

- Buffer All Symbols / Transmit Macro PDF When Complete activates transmission of all decode data from an entire Macro PDF sequence. Transmission does not occur until the entire Macro PDF sequence is scanned and decoded. This is the default option.

If the decode data exceeds the limit of 64 symbols or 64K bytes, there is no transmission because the entire sequence has not been scanned. Use the parameter Flush Macro PDF Buffer to purge the buffer.

- Transmit Any Symbol in Set / No Particular Order causes transmission of data from up to 1024 Macro symbols as decoded, whether it is in sequential order or not.

- Scan in Sequence Only / Transmit in Sequence Without Buffering causes transmission of data from up to 1024 symbols within the Macro PDF sequence as decoded, provided the Macro PDF symbols are scanned in order. If you do not scan the symbols in order, an error occurs.

- When Buffer Scans Out of Order / Transmit Scans in Order is enabled, decode data from each symbol within the Macro PDF sequence is transmitted when decoded, provided that the Macro PDF symbols are scanned in order. Decode data from symbols out of order in the Macro PDF sequence is buffered. The scanner can buffer up to 64 symbols or 64K bytes.

Transmit Symbols in Codeword Format

Enabling this activates transmission of each PDF symbol as directly decoded data codewords, whether that symbol is part of a macro PDF sequence or not. 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. 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 PDF-417 (1994).

All output codewords take up exactly 4 characters for GLIs and 6 characters for ECIs. However, there may be nondecodable 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 just like any other codeword, e.g., \927\001.

Because GLIs are indistinguishable from other codewords in the output data stream, the host must intelligently 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.

This enables the backslash () character as an Escape character for systems that can process transmissions containing special data sequences. Scan a bar code below to either format special data (e.g., GLI escapes, MacroPDF-417 Control Block optional fields) according to the GLI (Global Label Identifier) protocol or the ECI (Extended Channel Interpretation) protocol, or to disable this parameter.

When ECI or GLI protocol is selected, backslashes encoded in the data will be doubled upon transmission. If 'None' is selected and a barcode containing an escape sequence is scanned, the scanner will emit an error beep.

Delete Character Set ECIs

This parameter enables the scanner 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.

When deletion is selected, the scanner transmits data from PDF-417 and MicroPDF-417 bar codes containing Character Set ECIs, even when the ECI Protocol is disabled.

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.

Scan a bar code to enable or disable this option.

Chapter 4 Advanced Data Formatting (ADF)

Introduction

Advanced Data Formatting (ADF) is a means of customizing, or editing, the data scanned by the scanner before transmitting the data to your host device. Scanned data can be edited to suit your particular requirements.

ADF is implemented by scanning a related series of bar codes to create rules to apply to the scanned data. These bar codes appear later in this chapter.

Rules: Criteria Linked to Actions

In ADF, data is customized through rules. These rules perform specific actions when the data meets certain criteria. One rule may consist of single or multiple actions applied to single or multiple criteria.

For instance, a data formatting rule could be the following:

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.

In this example, if a Code 39 bar code of 1299X1559828 is scanned, the following is transmitted: 00001299. If a Code 39 bar code of 1299X15598 is scanned, this rule is ignored because the length (10 characters) does not pass the criteria.

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

Using ADF Bar Codes

When you program a rule, make sure the rule is logically correct. Plan ahead before you start scanning.

To program each data formatting rule:

1. Start the Rule. Scan the Begin New Rule bar code on page 4-11.
2. 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 4-14.
3. 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 Actions on page 4-28.
4. Save the Rule. Scan the Save Rule bar code on page 4-11. This places the rule in the "top" position in the rule buffer.

If you make errors during this process, some special-purpose bar codes may be useful: Erase Criteria and Start Again, Erase Actions and Start Again, Erase Previously Saved Rule, and Erase All Rules. See Erase on page 4-12.

Beeper Definitions for ADF on page 4-8 help guide you through the programming steps.

ADF Bar Code Menu Example

This section provides an example of how to enter an ADF rule to apply to scanned 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 need to 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, follow these steps:

Rule 1: The Code 128 Scanning Rule

Table 4-1. Code 128 Scanning Rule

Step	Bar Code On Page Beep Indication
1	Begin New Rule 4-11 High High
2	Code 128 4-14 High High
3	Send next 5 characters 4-29 High High
4	Send4-56 High High
5	Send next 5 characters 4-29 High High
6	Send4-56 High High
7	Send next 2 characters 4-28 High High
8	Send4-54 High High
9	Save Rule 4-11 High Low High Low

Rule 2: The UPC Scanning Rule

Table 4-2. UPC Scanning Rule

Step	Bar Code On Page Beep Indication
1 Begin	New Rule 4-11 High High
2	UPC/EAN	4-15 High High
3	Send all remaining data	4-28	High High
4	Send4-56 High High
5	Save Rule 4-11 High Low High Low

If you made any mistakes while entering this rule, scan the Quit Entering Rules bar code on page 4-12. If you already saved the rule, scan the Erase Previously Saved Rule bar code on page 4-12.

Alternate Rule Sets

ADF rules may be grouped into one of five alternate sets that can be turned on and off when needed. This is useful when you want 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)

This bar code might look like this:

245671243701500

where:

Class = 24

Stock Number = 56712437

Price = 01500

Ordinarily you would send this data as follows:

24 (class key)

56712437 (stock key)

01500 (enter key)

But, when there is a sale, you may want to 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 in the normal situation. This rule may look like this:

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:

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, a “switching rule” must be programmed. This rule specifies what type of bar code 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, a rule can be entered as follows:

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

Another rule could be programmed to switch back.

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

The switching back to normal rules can also be done in the "sale" rule. For example, the rule may look like this:

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. It is recommended that you scan the Disable All Rule Sets bar code after programming a rule belonging to an alternate rule set.

In addition to enabling and disabling rule sets within the rules, you can disable them by scanning the appropriate bar codes in Disable Rule Set on page 4-13.

Rules Hierarchy (in Bar Codes)

The order of programming individual rules is important. The most general rule should be programmed first.

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

Third Rule

Second Rule

First Rule

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

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 a Code 128 bar code of length 12 were scanned, the THIRD rule would be in effect. The SECOND rule would appear to not function.

Note also that ADF rules are actually created when you use the standard data editing functions. Scan options are entered as ADF rules, and the hierarchy mentioned above also applies to them. For the M2000, this applies to prefix/ suffix programming in the parameter Scan Data Transmission Format.

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. Default rules can be disabled by entering the following general rule in the user programmable buffer:

When receiving scan data, send all data.

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

Beeper Definitions for ADF

The following table defines beep sequences that occur during rule entry.

Table 4-3. Beeper Definitions

Beeper Sequence Indication

High-Low Entry of a number is	expected. Enter another digit. Add leading zeros to the front if necessary.
Low-Low Entry of an alphabetic	character is expected. Enter another character or scan the End of Message bar code.
High-High Entry of Criterion/Action is expected. Enter another criterion or action, or scan the Save Rule bar code.
High-Low-High-Low Rule saved.	Rule entry mode exited.
High-Low-Low All criteria or actions were cleared for rule currently being entered; continue entry of rule.
Low Last saved rule was successfully deleted. The rule presently being entered is left intact.
Low-High-High All rules are now deleted. The rule presently being entered is left intact. (This beep sequence has a different meaning outside of ADF.)
Error Indications. Duration of tones are very long.
Low-High-Low-High Out of rule	memory. Erase some existing rules, then try to save rule again. (The current rule need not be re-entered.)
Low-High-Low Cancel rule entry	Rule entry mode exited because of an error or the user asked to exit rule entry.
Low-High Entry error, wrong bar code scanned. Re-enter criterion or action. All previously entered criteria and actions are retained. Criteria or action list is too long for a rule.

	0 Standard data	packet.
	1 Data packet containing the data following an encoded symbol separator character.
	2 Data packet containing the data following an escape mechanism character. The data packet does not support the ECI protocol.
	3 Data packet containing the data following an escape mechanism character. The data packet supports the ECI protocol.
EAN.UCC Composites (RSS, UCC/EAN-128, 2D portion of UPC composite)
		UCC/EAN-128 emulationNote: UPC portion of composite is transmitted using UPC rules.
	1 Data packet is	a UCC/EAN-128 symbol (i.e., data is preceded with ]JC1).

According to AIM standards, a UPC with supplemental bar code is transmitted in one of the following formats:

JE0 (UPC chars) (terminator) JE2 (supplemental) (terminator) or

JE2 (supplemental) (terminator) JE0 (UPC chars) (terminator)

In the M2000, however, the format is changed to:

]E0 (UPC chars) ]E2 (supplemental)

Therefore, a UPC with two supplemental characters, 01234567890510, is transmitted to the host as a 21-character string, ]E00012345678905]E210.
