NOTES

About the Reader

Advancements in the LED technology used in this reader significantly improve the illumination of the target field of view, resulting in higher scan efficiency. Whether used in Single Trigger or Continuous Mode, the ergonomic design of the reader will help to promote comfortable handling during extended periods of use.

The reader/Base Station can communicate using the following interfaces:

RS-232 — The reader can communicate with a standard or Wincor-Nixdorf (W-N) RS-232 host.

RS-232 OPOS — This interface is used for OPOS/UPOS/JavaPOS systems.

Keyboard Wedge (KBW) — When connected using this interface, the host interprets scanned data as keystrokes and supports several international keyboards (for the Windows® environment). See Country Mode on page 74 for a full listing.

USB — Select to communicate either by USB OEM, USB COM, USB Keyboard interface or USB POS types by scanning the appropriate interface type barcodes available in this manual. The default interface is USB-KBD for Wedge models (7230) and USB-OEM for IBM models (7210).

IBM — IBM Port 5B or Port 9B are selectable interface options.

Wand Emulation — This interface produces an electrical signal that represents the bars and spaces of a label.

Unpacking

Check carefully to ensure the reader, Base Station and any accessories ordered are present and undamaged. If any damage occurred during shipment, contact Technical Support on page 3.

KEEP THE PACKAGING. Should the unit ever require service, it should be returned in its original shipping container.

Setting Up the Reader and Base Station

Follow the steps provided in this section to connect and get your reader up and communicating with its host:

1. Install the Battery in the Reader
2. Connect the Base Station
3. Select the Interface Type
4. Configure Interface Settings (only if not using factory settings for that interface)
5. Configure Other Features (if modifications are needed from factory settings)

Install the Battery in the Reader

Follow the instructions in the Quick Reference Guide (QRG) to install the battery pack and verify reader operation.

Connect the Base Station

Figure 1 shows how to connect the Base Station to a terminal, PC or other host device. Turn off the host before connection and consult the manual for that equipment (if necessary) before proceeding. Connect the interface cable before applying power to the Base Station.

Base Station Connection and Routing — Fully insert the Power Cable and Interface (I/F) Cable connectors into their respective ports in the underside of the Base Station (see Figure 1), then plug the Base Station AC Adapter into the AC outlet. Alternatively, you can either loop the cables around the routing clips and back through the routing channel to the front of the Base Station as shown, or the cables can be fed directly out the back of the Base Station via the routing clips.

Figure 1. Connecting the Base Station

Power Cable I/F Cable Routing Clips Routing Channel Bottom of Base Station I/F Cable AC Adapter Power Cable Base Station

Host Connection — The interface type was specified at the time your reader was ordered, however you should verify before connection that the reader's cable type is compatible with your host equipment. Most connections plug directly into the host device as shown in Figure 2. Keyboard Wedge interface cables have a 'Y' connection where its female end mates with the male end of the cable from the keyboard and the remaining end at the keyboard port on the terminal/PC.

Power Connection — Plug the AC Adapter in to an approved AC wall socket with the cable facing downwards (as shown in Figure 1) to prevent undue strain on the socket.

Linking the Reader to a Base Station

To link a reader to a Base Station, press the Link Button (see Figure 3) on the Base Station for at least one second to place the base in "Link Mode," then scan the barcode below or the Link barcode located on the Base Station using the reader to be linked. The Link barcode on the Base Station contains an identifier that is unique to that Base Station. This enables the reader to quickly find and link to that Base Station.

A successful link is indicated by three ascending tones from the reader. A high-low-high-low tone indicates the link attempt was unsuccessful. A single green LED flash during this tone indicates no Base Station was discovered. Two green LED flashes during this tone indicates that more than one Base Station was discovered and the reader did not link. Three LED flashes during this tone indicate a security error.

Optional: Linking the Reader to a PC in Server Mode

A reader can optionally be linked in server mode to a Bluetooth-enabled PC with the serial port profile.

To do this, follow these steps:

1. Ensure the PC or terminal can network with Bluetooth devices and that it is powered on.
2. Scan the "Link to a PC" barcode below.

Link to a PC in Server Mode

1. On the PC, scan for network devices.
2. Select the "Datalogic PBT7100 Reader." Make sure "Secure Connection" is disabled.
3. Select "connect" on the PC to link the reader to the PC.

Optional: Linking the Reader to a PC in Client Mode

A reader can optionally be linked in client mode to a Bluetooth-enabled PC with the serial port profile.

To do this, follow these steps:

1. Ensure the PC or terminal can network with Bluetooth devices and that it is powered on.
2. Ensure that a COM port is assigned under Services within the bluetooth setup menu.
3. Create a Link label that contains the address of the PC bluetooth adapter.

NOTE

The bluetooth address can be found under "Properties" within in the bluetooth setup menu.

The link label is a Code 128 function 3 label with the following format: LnkB<12 character bluetooth address>

1. Scan the link label created in step 3.

Paging Feature

To help locate a missing reader, press the Base Station Link Button momentarily (less than one second). This will cause the reader to beep five times at its loudest volume setting.

Programming

The reader is typically factory-configured with a set of default features. After scanning the interface barcode from the Interfaces section, you can select other options and customize your reader through use of the instructions and programming barcodes available in the corresponding features section for your interface and also the Data Editing and Symbologies chapters of this manual.

Using the Programming Barcodes

This manual contains feature descriptions and barcodes which allow you to reconfigure your reader and Base Station. Some programming barcode labels, like the Resetting the Product Configuration to Defaults on page 11, require only the scan of that single label to enact the change. Most of the programming labels in this manual, however, require the reader to be placed in Programming Mode prior to scanning them. Scan an ENTER/EXIT barcode once to enter Programming Mode. Once the reader is in Programming Mode, you can scan a number of parameter settings before scanning the ENTER/EXIT barcode a second time, which will then accept your changes, exit Programming Mode and return the reader to normal operation.

NOTE

There are some exceptions to the typical programming sequence described above. Please read the description and setting instructions carefully when configuring each given programmable feature.

Select the Interface Type

Upon completing the physical connection between the Base Station and the host, proceed directly to Interfaces on page 13 for information and programming for the interface type the Base Station is connected to (for example: RS-232, Keyboard Wedge, USB, etc.) and scan the appropriate barcode in that section to select your system's correct interface type.

Each interface type is associated to a specific set of default features. If after scanning the interface barcode from the Interfaces section, your installation requires you to select options to further customize your reader, turn to the appropriate section for your interface type as listed below:

• RS-232 ONLY Interface, starting on page 47
• RS-232/USB-Com Interfaces, starting on page 53
• Keyboard Interface, starting on page 73
• USB-OEM Interface, starting on page 87
• IBM 46XX Interface, starting on page 91
- Wand Emulation Interface, starting on page 97

Configure Other Features

If your installation requires different programming than the standard factory default settings, the following sections of this manual allow configuration of non-interface-specific settings you might require:

General Features — General Features includes programming for scanning, beeper and LED indicators and other such universal settings.

Symbologies — Includes options concerning the barcode label types (symbologies). These settings allow you to enable/disable symbologies, set label lengths, require check digit, etc.

Software Version Transmission

The software version of the device can be transmitted over the RS-232 and Keyboard interfaces by scanning the following label.

Transmit Software Version

Resetting the Product Configuration to Defaults

If you aren't sure what programming options are in your imager, or you've changed some options and want to restore the Custom Default Configuration that may have been saved in the imager, scan the Restore Custom Default Configuration barcode below. This will restore the custom configuration for the currently active interface.

NOTE

Custom defaults are based on the interface type. Configure the imager for the correct interface before scanning this label.

Restore Custom Default Configuration

If you aren't sure what programming options are in your imager, or you've changed some options and want to restore the Factory Configuration, you have two options. You can scan the Restore USA Factory Configuration bar code or the Restore EU Factory Configuration bar code below. Both labels restore the imager configuration to the factory settings including the interface type. The USA label restores Label IDs to those historically used in the USA. The EU label restores Label IDs to those historically used in Europe. The Label ID sets for USA and EU are shown in the Label ID section of this manual.

General Features

Double Read Timeout

To prevent a double read of the same label, the Double Read Timeout sets the minimum time allowed between reads of labels of the same symbology and data. If the unit reads a label and sees the same label again within the Double Read Timeout, the second read of the label will be ignored. Double Read Timeout does not apply to scan modes that require a trigger pull for each label that is read.

ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE
	Double Read Timeout = 0.1 Second
Double Read Timeout = 0.2 Second
	Double Read Timeout = 0.3 Second

Scanning Features

Scan Mode

Selects the scan operating mode for the reader. Selections are:

Trigger Single — When the trigger is pulled, scanning is activated until one of the following occurs:

• Scanning Active Time has elapsed
• a label has been read
• the trigger is released

This mode is associated with typical handheld reader operation: when the trigger is pulled, scanning starts and the product scans until the trigger is released, or a label is read, or the maximum Scanning Active Time has elapsed.

Trigger Hold Multiple — When the trigger is pulled, scanning starts and the product scans until the trigger is released or Scanning Active Time has elapsed. Reading a label does not disable scanning. Double Read Timeout prevents undesired multiple reads of the same label while in this mode.

Trigger Pulse Multiple — When the trigger is pulled, continuous scanning is activated until Scanning Active Time has elapsed or the trigger has been released and pulled again. Double Read Timeout ^1 prevents undesired multiple reads of the same label while in this mode.

Flashing — The reader flashes ^1 on and off regardless of the trigger status. Flash rate is controlled by Flash On Time and Flash Off Time.

Always On — No trigger pull is required to read a barcode. Scanning is continually on. If the trigger is pulled, the reader acts as if it is in Trigger Single Mode. Double Read Timeout ^1 prevents undesired multiple reads of the same label while in this mode.

Stand Mode — No trigger pull is required to read a barcode. Scanning is turned on automatically when an item is placed in reader's field of view. If the trigger is pulled, the reader acts as if it in single read mode. Double Read Timeout prevents undesired multiple reads of the same label while in this mode.

Trigger Object Sense — This mode is similar to Stand Mode, except that a trigger pull is required to activate the decoder.

Scan Mode — continued

Introduction

Use the programming barcodes in this chapter if modifications to the standard RS-232 interface settings are necessary to meet your system's requirements. Additional settings which apply to both the RS-232 and USB interfaces are available in Chapter 6, RS-232/USB-Com Interfaces.

RS-232 Standard Factory Settings

Reference Appendix B, Standard Defaults for a listing of standard factory settings.

Baud Rate

Baud rate is the number of bits of data transmitted per second. Set the reader's baud rate to match the baud rate setting of the host device. With an improper baud rate setting, data may not reach the host correctly.

ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE
	Baud Rate = 1200
Baud Rate = 2400
	Baud Rate = 4800

Baud Rate — continued

ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE
Baud Rate = 9600
	Baud Rate = 19,200
Baud Rate = 38,400
	Baud Rate = 57,600
Baud Rate = 115,200

Data Bits

This parameter allows the reader to interface with devices requiring a 7-bit or 8-bit ASCII protocol for sending and receiving data.

ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE
	7 Data Bits
8 Data Bits

Stop Bits

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.

ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE

DEFAULT

1 Stop Bit

2 Stop Bits

Parity

This feature specifies parity required for sending and receiving data. A parity check bit is the most significant bit of each ASCII coded character. Select the parity type according to host device requirements.

• Select None when no parity bit is required.
• Select Odd parity and the parity bit value is set to 0 or 1, based on data, to ensure that an odd number of 1 bits are contained in the coded character.
• Select Even parity and the parity bit value is set to 0 or 1, based on data, to ensure that an even number of 1 bits are contained in the coded character.

ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE
	Parity = None
Parity = Even
	Parity = Odd

Handshaking Control

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). Handshaking Control includes the following options:

• RTS — RTS is asserted during transmissions. CTS is ignored.
• RTS/CTS — RTS is asserted during transmissions. CTS gates transmissions.
• RTS/XON/XOFF — RTS is asserted during transmissions. CTS is ignored. XON and XOFF gate transmissions.
• RTS On/CTS — RTS is always asserted. CTS gates transmissions.
• RTS/CTS Scan Control — RTS is asserted during transmissions. CTS gates transmissions and controls enable and disable state of scanner.

ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE

DEFAULT

Handshaking Control = RTS

Handshaking Control = RTS/CTS

landshaking Control = RTS/XON/XOFF

Handshaking Control = RTS On/CTS

Handshaking Control = RTS/CTS Scan Control

Introduction

The programming barcodes in this chapter allow modifications to the standard RS-232 and USB-Com interfaces.

Standard Factory Settings

Reference Appendix B, Standard Defaults for a listing of standard factory settings.

Intercharacter Delay

This parameter specifies the intercharacter delay between the end of one character and the beginning of the next. The delay can be set within a range of zero (0) to 990 milliseconds in 10ms increments. A setting of zero specifies no delay.

To set the delay:

1. Determine the desired setting in milliseconds.
2. Divide the desired setting by 10 (setting is in 10ms increments). Pad the result with leading zeroes to yield two digits. For example: 0 = 00, 5 = 05, 20 = 20, etc.
3. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE barcode to enter Programming Mode.
4. Scan the barcode: SELECT INTERCHARACTER DELAY SETTING.
5. Scan the appropriate two digits from the keypad in Appendix E, Keypad, that represent the duration which was determined in the steps above. You will hear a two-beep indication after the last character.

If you make a mistake before the last character, scan the CANCEL barcode to abort and not save the entry string. You can then start again at the beginning.

Data Editing Overview

CAUTION

It is not recommended to use these features with IBM interfaces.

When a barcode is scanned, additional information can be sent to the host computer along with the barcode data. This combination of barcode data and supplementary user-defined data is called a “message string.” The features in this chapter can be used to build specific user-defined data into a message string.

There are several types of selectable data characters that can be sent before and after scanned data. You can specify if they should be sent with all symbologies, or only with specific symbologies. Figure 4 shows the available elements you can add to a message string:

Figure 4. Breakdown of a Message String

Additional advanced editing is available. See the Advanced Formatting features in the Datalogic Aladdin Configuration Application or contact Technical Support on page 3 for more information.

Please Keep In Mind...

• Modifying a message string is not a mandatory requirement. Data editing is sophisticated feature allowing highly customizable output for advanced users. Factory default settings for data editing is typically set to NONE.
• A prefix or suffix may be applied (reference the Symbologies chapter for these settings) across all symbologies (set via the Global features in this chapter).
• You can add any character from the ASCII Chart (from 00-FF) on the inside back cover of this manual as a prefix, suffix or Label ID.
• Enter prefixes and suffixes in the order in which you want them to appear on the output.

Global Prefix/Suffix

Up to 20 ASCII characters may be added as a prefix (in a position before the barcode data) and/or as a suffix (in a position following the barcode data) as indicated in Figure 5.

Figure 5. Prefix and Suffix Positions

OR... Prefix SuffixAIM ID Label ID Label ID Bar Code Data 00 - 20 Characters (ASCII) AND OR

Example: Setting a Prefix

In this example, we'll set a prefix for all symbologies.

1. Determine which ASCII character(s) are to be added to scanned barcode data. In this example, we'll add a dollar sign (\$') as a prefix.
2. Scan the ENTER/EXIT barcode.
3. Scan the SET GLOBAL PREFIX barcode.
4. Reference the ASCII Chart on the inside back cover of this manual, to find the hex value assigned to the desired character. The corresponding hex number for the '\$' character is 24. To enter this selection code, scan the '2' and '4' barcodes from Appendix E, Keypad.

NOTE

If you make a mistake before the last character, scan the CANCEL barcode to abort and not save the entry string. You can then start again at the beginning.

1. If less than the expected string of 20 characters are selected, scan the ENTER/EXIT barcode to terminate the string.

2. Scan the ENTER/EXIT barcode once again to exit Programming Mode.

3. The resulting message string would appear as follows:

Scanned barcode data:12345

Resulting message string output: \$12345

This option sets up to 20 characters each from the set of ASCII characters or any hex value from 00 to FF. To configure this feature, scan the ENTER/EXIT barcode to place the unit in Programming Mode, then the "Set Global Prefix" or "Set Global Suffix," barcode followed by the digits (in hex) from the Alphanumeric characters in Appendix E, Keypad representing your desired character(s). If less than the expected string of 20 characters are selected, scan the ENTER/EXIT barcode to terminate the string. Reference the section, Example: Setting a Prefix on page 104, for more information. Exit programming mode by scanning the ENTER/EXIT barcode once again.

Global AIM ID

This feature enables/disables addition of AIM IDs for all symbology types.

NOTE

AIM label identifiers (as opposed to custom characters you select yourself as with label identifiers) can be included with scanned barcode data. AIM label identifiers consist of three characters as follows:

• A close brace character (ASCII ']), followed by...
  • A code character (see the table below), followed by...
• A modifier character (the modifier character is symbol dependent).

Label ID

A Label ID is a customizable code of up to three ASCII characters (each can be one of hex 0x01-0xFF), used to identify a barcode (symbology) type. It can be appended previous to or following the transmitted barcode data depending upon how this option is enabled. This feature provides options for configuring custom Label IDs as a pre-loaded set (see . Label ID Pre-loaded Sets on page 110) or individually per symbology (see Label ID: Set Individually Per Symbology on page 112). If you wish to program the reader to always include an industry standard label identifier for ALL symbology types, see the previous feature Global AIM ID on page 106.

Label ID: Pre-loaded Sets

The reader supports two pre-loaded sets of Label IDs. Table 17 shows the USA set and the EU set.

CAUTION

When changing from one Label ID set to another, all other imager configuration settings, including the host interface type, will be erased and set to the factory defaults. Any custom configuration or custom defaults will be lost.

Label ID: Set Individually Per Symbology

To configure a Label ID individually for a single symbology:

1. Scan the ENTER/EXIT barcode.
2. Select Label ID position as either BEFORE (Enable as Prefix) or AFTER (Enable as suffix) by scanning the appropriate barcode in the section Label ID Control on page 114. Reference Figure 7 for Label ID positioning options if multiple identification features are enabled.
3. Scan a barcode to select the symbology for which you wish to configure a custom Label ID from the section Label ID Symbology Selection, starting on page 115.
4. Determine the desired character(s) (you may choose up to three) which will represent the Label ID for the selected symbology.
5. Turn to the ASCII Chart on the inside back cover of this manual and find the equivalent hex digits associated with your choice of Label ID. For example, if you wish to select an equal sign (=) as a Label ID, the chart indicates its associated hex characters as 3D. Turn to Keypad, starting on page 395 and scan the barcodes representing the hex characters determined. For the example given, the characters '3' and 'D' would be scanned. More examples of Label ID settings are provided in Table 18.

If you make a mistake before the last character, scan the CANCEL barcode to abort and not save the entry string. You can then start again at the beginning.

NOTE

1. Scan the ENTER/EXIT barcode to exit Label ID entry.
2. Scan the ENTER/EXIT barcode once again to exit Programming Mode.

This completes the steps to configure a Label ID for a given symbology.

Case Conversion

This feature allows conversion of the case of all alphabetic characters to upper or lower case.

Case conversion affects ONLY scanned barcode data, and does not affect Label ID, Prefix, Suffix, or other appended data.

NOTE

ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE
	Case Conversion = Disable (no case conversion)
Case Conversion = Convert to upper case
	Case Conversion = Convert to lower case

Character Conversion

Character conversion is an eight byte configuration item. The eight bytes are 4 character pairs represented in hexadecimal ASCII values. The first character in the pair is the character that will be converted. The second character in the pair is the character to convert to. If the character to convert in a pair is FF, then no conversion is done.

For example, if you have the character conversion configuration item set to the following: 41423132FFFFFFF

The first pair is 4142 or AB (41 hex is an ASCII capital A, 42 hex is an ASCII capital B) and the second pair is 3132 or 12 (31 hex is an ASCII 1, 32 is an ASCII 2). The other two pairs are FFFF and FFFF.

With the label, AB12BA21, it would look as follows after the character conversion: BB22BB22.

The A characters were converted to B characters and the 1 characters were converted to 2 characters. Nothing is done with the last two character pairs, since they are all FF.

To set Character Conversion:

1. Scan the ENTER/EXIT barcode.
2. Scan the "Configure Character Conversion" barcode.
3. Determine the desired string. Sixteen positions must be determined as in the above example. Next, turn to the ASCII Chart on the inside back cover of this manual and find the equivalent hex digits needed to fulfill the string.
4. Turn to Appendix E, Keypad and scan the barcodes representing the hex characters determined in the previous step.
5. Scan the ENTER/EXIT barcode to exit Programming Mode.

NOTE

If less than the expected string of 16 characters are selected, scan the ENTER/EXIT barcode twice to accept the selections and exit Programming Mode.

UPC/EAN Global Settings

This section provides configuration settings for UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN 13 and EAN 8 symbologies, and affects all of these unless otherwise marked for each feature description.

UPC/EAN Decoding Level

Decoding Levels are used to configure a barcode symbology decoder to be very aggressive to very conservative depending on a particular customer's needs.

• Choosing Level 1 results in a very conservative decoder at the expense of not being able to read poorly printed or damaged labels.
• Choosing Level 5 results in a very aggressive decoder. This aggressive behavior allows decoding of poorly printed and damaged labels at the expense of increasing the likelihood of decoding errors.
• Choosing Level 3, which is the default setting, allows the majority of product labels to be decoded.

There are many factors that determine when to change the decoding level for a particular symbology. These factors include spots, voids, non-uniform bar/space widths, damaged labels, etc. that may be experienced in some barcode labels. If there are many hard to read or damaged labels that cannot be decoded using a conservative setting, increase the decoding level to be more aggressive. If the majority of labels are very good quality labels, or there is a need to decrease the possibility of a decoder error, lower the decoding level to a more conservative level.

UPC/EAN Correlation

When correlation is enabled, the barcode reader will combine label data from multiple scans when decoding. Enabling correlation will help the scanner read labels that have some spots and/or voids. It may also help read labels that have damaged areas. Enabling correlation will also increase the chances that a label will be read incorrectly.

Code 39 Decoding Level

Decoding Levels are used to configure a barcode symbology decoder to be very aggressive to very conservative depending on a particular customer's needs.

• Choosing Level 1 results in a very conservative decoder at the expense of not being able to read poorly printed or damaged labels.
• Choosing Level 5 results in a very aggressive decoder. This aggressive behavior allows decoding of poorly printed and damaged labels at the expense of increasing the likelihood of decoding errors.
• Choosing Level 3, which is the default setting, allows the majority of product labels to be decoded.

There are many factors that determine when to change the decoding level for a particular symbology. These factors include spots, voids, non-uniform bar/space widths, damaged labels, etc. that may be experienced in some barcode labels. If there are many hard to read or damaged labels that cannot be decoded using a conservative setting, increase the decoding level to be more aggressive. If the majority of labels are very good quality labels, or there is a need to decrease the possibility of a decoder error, lower the decoding level to a more conservative level.

NOTE

This configuration item applies to Code 39 and Code 32.

Code 128 Decoding Level

Decoding Levels are used to configure a barcode symbology decoder to be very aggressive to very conservative depending on a particular customer's needs.

• Choosing Level 1 results in a very conservative decoder at the expense of not being able to read poorly printed or damaged labels.
• Choosing Level 5 results in a very aggressive decoder. This aggressive behavior allows decoding of poorly printed and damaged labels at the expense of increasing the likelihood of decoding errors.
• Choosing Level 3, which is the default setting, allows the majority of product labels to be decoded.

There are many factors that determine when to change the decoding level for a particular symbology. These factors include spots, voids, non-uniform bar/space widths, damaged labels, etc. that may be experienced in some barcode labels. If there are many hard to read or damaged labels that cannot be decoded using a conservative setting, increase the decoding level to be more aggressive. If the majority of labels are very good quality labels, or there is a need to decrease the possibility of a decoder error, lower the decoding level to a more conservative level.

Code 128 Set Length 1

This feature specifies one of the barcode lengths for Code 128 Length Control. Length 1 is the minimum label length if in Variable Length Mode, or the first fixed length if in Fixed Length Mode. Length includes the barcode's data characters only. The length can be set from 1 to 80 characters.

Follow these instructions to set this feature:

1. Determine the desired character length (from 1 to 80). Pad the number with leading zeroes to yield two digits. For example: 0 = 00 , 5 = 05 , 20 = 20 , etc.
2. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE barcode to enter Programming Mode.
3. Scan the barcode: SELECT CODE 128 LENGTH 1 SETTING.
4. Scan the appropriate two digits from the keypad in Appendix E, Keypad, that represent the length setting which was determined in the steps above. You will hear a two-beep indication after the last character.

If you make a mistake before the last character, scan the CANCEL barcode to abort and not save the entry string. You can then start again at the beginning.

Codabar Decoding Level

Decoding Levels are used to configure a barcode symbology decoder to be very aggressive to very conservative depending on a particular customer's needs.

• Choosing Level 1 results in a very conservative decoder at the expense of not being able to read poorly printed or damaged labels.
• Choosing Level 5 results in a very aggressive decoder. This aggressive behavior allows decoding of poorly printed and damaged labels at the expense of increasing the likelihood of decoding errors.
• Choosing Level 3, which is the default setting, allows the majority of product labels to be decoded.

There are many factors that determine when to change the decoding level for a particular symbology. These factors include spots, voids, non-uniform bar/space widths, damaged labels, etc. that may be experienced in some barcode labels. If there are many hard to read or damaged labels that cannot be decoded using a conservative setting, increase the decoding level to be more aggressive. If the majority of labels are very good quality labels, or there is a need to decrease the possibility of a decoder error, lower the decoding level to a more conservative level.

Code 11 Decoding Level

Decoding Levels are used to configure a barcode symbology decoder to be very aggressive to very conservative depending on a particular customer's needs.

• Choosing Level 1 results in a very conservative decoder at the expense of not being able to read poorly printed or damaged labels.
• Choosing Level 5 results in a very aggressive decoder. This aggressive behavior allows decoding of poorly printed and damaged labels at the expense of increasing the likelihood of decoding errors.
• Choosing Level 3, which is the default setting, allows the majority of product labels to be decoded.

There are many factors that determine when to change the decoding level for a particular symbology. These factors include spots, voids, non-uniform bar/space widths, damaged labels, etc. that may be experienced in some barcode labels. If there are many hard to read or damaged labels that cannot be decoded using a conservative setting, increase the decoding level to be more aggressive. If the majority of labels are very good quality labels, or there is a need to decrease the possibility of a decoder error, lower the decoding level to a more conservative level.

MSI Decoding Level

Decoding Levels are used to configure a barcode symbology decoder to be very aggressive to very conservative depending on a particular customer's needs.

• Choosing Level 1 results in a very conservative decoder at the expense of not being able to read poorly printed or damaged labels.
• Choosing Level 5 results in a very aggressive decoder. This aggressive behavior allows decoding of poorly printed and damaged labels at the expense of increasing the likelihood of decoding errors.
• Choosing Level 3, which is the default setting, allows the majority of product labels to be decoded.

There are many factors that determine when to change the decoding level for a particular symbology. These factors include spots, voids, non-uniform bar/space widths, damaged labels, etc. that may be experienced in some barcode labels. If there are many hard to read or damaged labels that cannot be decoded using a conservative setting, increase the decoding level to be more aggressive. If the majority of labels are very good quality labels, or there is a need to decrease the possibility of a decoder error, lower the decoding level to a more conservative level.

Code 4 and Code 5 Common Configuration Items

The following options apply to both Code 4 and Code 5 symbologies.

Code 4 and 5 Decoding Level

Decoding Levels are used to configure a barcode symbology decoder to be very aggressive to very conservative depending on a particular customer's needs.

• Choosing Level 1 results in a very conservative decoder at the expense of not being able to read poorly printed or damaged labels.
• Choosing Level 5 results in a very aggressive decoder. This aggressive behavior allows decoding of poorly printed and damaged labels at the expense of increasing the likelihood of decoding errors.
• Choosing Level 3, which is the default setting, allows the majority of product labels to be decoded.

There are many factors that determine when to change the decoding level for a particular symbology. These factors include spots, voids, non-uniform bar/space widths, damaged labels, etc. that may be experienced in some barcode labels. If there are many hard to read or damaged labels that cannot be decoded using a conservative setting, increase the decoding level to be more aggressive. If the majority of labels are very good quality labels, or there is a need to decrease the possibility of a decoder error, lower the decoding level to a more conservative level.

BT Security Features

These features enable/disable the BT system to require a configurable pin code to authenticate/connect the BT devices, and encrypt the data.

BT Pin Code

This option specifies the 4-character pin code to be used for authentication of the BT link. BT Security Mode on page 362 must be enabled in order to require the pin code.

To set the pin code:

1. Determine the desired characters. For example, D254.
2. Convert the characters to hexadecimal using the ASCII Chart on the inside back cover of this manual. In the case of the example, the hexadecimal equivalents would be:

$$ \mathrm{D} = 0 \mathrm{x} 4 4, 2 = 0 \mathrm{x} 3 2, 5 = 0 \mathrm{x} 3 5, \text { and } 4 = 0 \mathrm{x} 3 4 $$

1. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE barcode to enter Programming Mode.

2. Scan the barcode: SELECT BT PIN CODE.

3. Scan the appropriate alpha-numeric characters from the keypad in Appendix E, Keypad representing the hexadecimal entries which was determined in the steps above. You will hear a two-beep indication after the last character.

NOTE

If you make a mistake before the last character, scan the CANCEL barcode to abort and not save the entry string. You can then start again at the beginning.

1. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE barcode to exit Programming Mode.

This completes the procedure. See Table 45 for some examples of how to set this feature.

NOTE

Changing the pin code setting will unlink the devices. If the Automatic Configuration Update is set to the default enabled setting, the devices must only be relinked. If the Automatic Configuration Update is set to the disabled setting, the Pin Code setting must also be updated in the Base Station using Aladdin. After the Base Station has been updated the devices must be relinked.

This completes the procedure. See Table 45 for some examples of how to set this feature.

LED and Beeper Indications

The reader's beeper sounds and its LED illuminates to indicate various functions or errors on the reader. An optional “Green Spot” also performs useful functions. The tables below list these indications. One exception to the behaviors listed in the tables is that the reader's functions are programmable, and may or may not be turned on. For example, certain indications, such as the power-up beep can be disabled using programming barcode labels.

General Functions — LED and Beeper Indications

INDICATION DESCRIPTION LED BEEPER
Power-up Beep	The reader is in the process of power-ing-up.		Reader beeps four times at highest frequency and volume upon power-up.
Good Read Beep	A label has been successfully scanned by the reader.	LED behavior for this indication is configurable via the feature “Good Read: When to Indicate”	The reader will beep once at current frequency, volume, mono/bi-tonal setting and duration upon a successful label scan.
ROM Failure	There is an error in the reader's software/programming	Flashes	Reader sounds one error beep at highest volume.
Limited Scanning Label Read	Indicates that a host connection is not established when the IBM or USB interface is enabled.	N/A	Reader 'chirps' six times at the highest frequency and current volume.
Reader Active Mode	The reader is active and ready to scan.	The LED is lit steadilya	N/A
Reader Disabled	The reader has been disabled by the host.	The LED blinks continuously N/A
Green Spot is on continuously	While in Object Sense mode or Trigger Object Sense mode the green spot shall be on while in stand watch state.	N/A N/A
Green Spota flashes momentarily	Upon successful read of a label, the software shall turn the green spot on for the time specified by the configured value.	N/A N/A

Programming Mode - The following indications ONLY occur when the reader is in Programming Mode.

Label Programming Mode Entry	A valid programming label has been scanned.	LED blinks continuously	Reader sounds four low frequency beeps.
Label Programming Mode Rejection of Label	A label has been rejected. N/A		Reader sounds three times at lowest frequency & current volume.
Label Programming Mode Acceptance of Partial Label	In cases where multiple labels must be scanned to program one feature, this indication acknowledges each portion as it is successfully scanned.	N/A	Reader sounds one short beep at highest frequency & current volume.
Label Programming Mode Acceptance of Programming	Configuration option(s) have been successfully programmed via labels and the reader has exited Programming Mode.	N/A	Reader sounds one high frequency beep and 4 low frequency beeps followed by reset beeps.
Label Programming Mode Cancel Item Entry	Cancel label has been scanned. N/A		Reader sounds two times at low frequency and current volume.

a. Except when in sleep mode or when a Good Read LED Duration other than 00 is selected

BT Beeper Indications

Beep Type Description Behavior
Acknowledge (ACK) Label	A label has been sent to the Base Station, which has accepted the data and responded. Control via ACK NAK Options on page 57.	1 beep.Duration, frequency and volume vary, since these are all configurable for this feature.
Label Rejected	Label data sent is rejected by the Base Station (responds with NAK). Control via ACK NAK Options on page 57.	2 beeps at low frequency.
Transmission Error	A label has been sent to but not received by the Base Station (ACK timeout occurred).Control via Indicate Transmission Failure on page 67.	Beep will soundHigh-low-high-low.
Link Successful	The Linking process has completed successfully between a reader and Base Station (or PC).	Beep will soundLow-med-high.
Link Unsuccessful	The Linking process has completed (timed out) without connecting to a Base (or PC).	Beep will soundHigh-low-high-low.
Unlink The reader has unlinked from the Base Station.		Beep will soundHigh-medium-low.
Paging Base Station is paging the reader.		5 beeps at high volume and currentGood Read Beep Frequency setting.
BT Reader FRU	The reader will sound this upon detecting aField Replaceable Unit (FRU) error at startup.	1 long error tone^a .
Disconnect	Sounds when the reader disconnects from the Base Station due to out of range, low power, etc.Control via Disconnect Beep on page 345.	Beep will soundHigh-medium-low.(Same as Unlink)
Good Read Disconnected	A label is read while disconnected, and BT Poll Rate on page 354 is disabled.	1 long beep at low frequency.
Good Read Unlinked A label is read while unlinked.		Beep will soundHigh-low-high-low.
Leash mode	The Handheld has disconnected, and BT Leash Alarm on page 346 is enabled.	Beep will sound at high volume, low frequency for the count specified in BT Leash Alarm on page 346.
Low Battery The battery is getting low 10 beeps at high frequency
Battery Shutdown	The battery has reached a critical low level and the handheld will shut down.	Beep will soundHigh-medium-low

a. Upon hearing a long error tone at startup, press the trigger to hear the FRU error beep sequence described in Error Codes on page 389.

BT LED Indications

LED Indication Behavior		Applies to:
		Base Station	Reader
Linking in progress Yellow LED blinks at 2 Hz YES YES
Low battery	Green LED blinks 10 times after either of the following events occur:-After every 10th trigger pull.-After 30 seconds of idle time.NOTE: Low battery LED indication coincides with the low battery beep.	NO YES
Disconnected LEDs off YES YES
Unlinked LEDs off YES YES
BT transmission in progress Flash yellow LED at 50 Hz while transmitting. YES YES
Paging Yellow LED blinks at the same rate as the paging beep (1 Hz) YES YES
BT Reader FRU indication See the topic Error Codes on page 389.		NO YES
BT Base Station FRU indication	See the topic Error Codes on page 389.	YES NO
Disabled indication	Green LED blinks once a second while disabled	NO YES
Battery charge in progress	Green LED blinks once a second while charging	YES NO
Battery charge complete	Green LED stays ON when charge is complete and reader is seated in the Base Station.	YES NO
Battery charge error	Yellow LED blinks 550mS on/1500mS off when there is a charge error and reader is seated in the Base Station.	YES NO

Error Codes

Upon startup, if the reader sounds a long tone, this means the reader has not passed its automatic Selftest and has entered FRU ^1 isolation mode. If the reader is reset, the sequence will be repeated. The following table describes the LED flashes/beep codes associated with an error found.

Scancode Tables

Control Character Emulation

Control character emulation selects from different scancode tables as listed in this appendix. Each of the control character sets below are detailed by interface type in the tables. These apply to Wedge and USB Keyboard platforms.

Control Character 00. Characters from 00 to 0x1F are sent as control character Ctrl+Keys, special keys are located from 0x80 to 0xA1.

Control Character 01. Characters from 00 to 0x1F are sent as control character Ctrl+Capital Key, special keys are located from 0x80 to 0xA1.

Control Character 02. Special keys are located from 00 to 0x1F and characters from 0x80 to 0xFE are intended as an extended ASCII table (Microsoft Windows Codepage 1252 on page 410)

Single Press and Release Keys

In the following tables, Ar↓ means Alt right pressed and Ar↑ means Alt right released and so on. Definitions for other keys are Al (Alt left), Cr (Control Right) Cl (Control Left) Sh (shift). This method can be used for combining Alt, Control or Shift with other keys.

Example: Consider a Control character set to 00. If AltRight+A is required before sending a label to the host, it could be done by setting three Prefix keys in this way: 0x99 0x41 0x9A.
