About the Reader

Typically, units are factory-programmed for the most common terminal and communications settings. If you need to modify any programmable settings, custom configuration can be accomplished by scanning the programming barcodes within this guide.

The WLS9600 model has a Laser scan engine. Advancements in the LED technology used in the imager-based readers 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.

See "Interface Selection" on page 8 for a listing and descriptions of available interface sets by model type.

Programming the Reader

Configuration Methods

Programming Barcodes

The reader is factory-configured with a standard set of default features. After scanning the interface barcode, you can select other options and customize your reader through use of the instructions and programming barcode labels available in the corresponding features section for your interface. Customizable settings for many features are found in "Configuration Using Barcodes" starting on page 15.

Some programming labels, like "Restore Custom Defaults" on page 13, require only the scan of the single label to enact the change. Most, 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, 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.

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

NOTES

Chapter 2 Setup

Unpacking

Check carefully to ensure the reader and any accessories ordered are present and undamaged. If any damage occurred during shipment, contact Wasp Technical Support. Information is shown on page 2.

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

Setting Up the Reader

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

1. Begin by Installing the Interface Cable.
2. Go to Interface Selection and set the desired interface.
3. Configure Interface Settings (only if not using factory settings for that interface)
4. Go to Configuring Other Features (if modifications are needed from factory settings)

Installing the Interface Cable

For Corded versions, connect the reader cable by inserting the cable into the handle as shown in Figure 1. To remove it, insert a paper clip into the release aperture, then unplug the cable.

Figure 1. Connect/disconnect the cable

Technical line drawing of a hairdryer tool with two views showing internal components and adjustment arrows (no text or symbols)

RS-232 Serial Connection

Turn off power to the terminal/PC and connect the reader to the terminal/PC serial port via the RS-232 cable as shown in Figure 2. If the terminal will not support POT (Power Off the Terminal) to supply reader power, use the approved power supply (AC Adapter). Plug the AC Adapter barrel connector into the socket on the RS-232 cable connector and the AC Adapter plug into a standard power outlet.

Figure 2. RS-232 Connection

Keyboard Wedge Connection

The Keyboard Wedge cable has a 'Y' connection from the reader. Connect the female to the male end from the keyboard and the remaining end at the keyboard port at the terminal/PC. Reference Figure 3.

Figure 3. Keyboard Wedge Interface connection

USB Connection

Connect the reader to a USB port on the terminal/PC using the correct USB cable for the interface type you ordered. Reference Figure 4.

Figure 4. USB connection

Other connection types are described below and illustrated in Figure 5.

Figure 5. Other Interface Connections

Specific cables are required for connection to different hosts. The connectors illustrated above are examples only. Actual connectors may vary from those illustrated, but the steps to connect the reader remain the same.

Interface Selection

Upon completing the physical connection between the reader and its host, proceed to Table 1 starting on page 9 to select the interface type the reader is connected to (for example: RS-232, Keyboard Wedge, USB, etc.). Scan the appropriate barcode in that section to configure your system's correct interface type.

The reader will support one of the following sets of host interfaces:

• RS-232 OPOS
USB
- Keyboard Wedge
- Wand Emulation

• R S - 2 3 2

Setting the Interface

Scan the programming barcode from this section which selects the appropriate interface type matching the system the reader will be connected to. Next, proceed to the corresponding section in this manual (also listed in Table 1 starting on page 9) to configure any desired settings and features associated with that interface.

Unlike some programming features and options, interface selections require that you scan only one programming barcode label. DO NOT scan an ENTER/EXIT barcode prior to scanning an interface selection barcode.

Some interfaces require the scanner to start in the disabled state when powered up. If additional scanner configuration is desired while in this state, pull the trigger and hold it for five seconds. The scanner will change to a state that allows programming with barcodes.

This and following sections provide programming barcodes to configure your reader by changing the default settings. For details about additional methods of programming, see Configuration Methods on page 3.

You must first enable your reader to read barcodes in order to use this section. If you have not done this, go to Setup, starting on page 5 and complete the appropriate procedure.

Configuration Parameters

Once the reader is set up, you can change the default parameters to meet your application needs. Refer to "Standard Defaults" starting on page 265 for initial configuration in order to set the default values and select the interface for your application.

The following configuration parameters are divided into logical groups, making it easy to find the desired function based on its reference group.

Interface Configuration:

• "RS-232 ONLY Interface" on page 19
• "RS-232/USB-Com Interfaces" on page 24
• "Keyboard Interface" on page 33
- "USB-OEM Interface" on page 45
• "Wand Emulation Interface" on page 47

Parameters common to all interface applications:

• "Data Format" on page 51 gives options to control the messages sent to the Host system.
• "Reading Parameters" on page 65 control various operating modes and indicators status functioning.

Symbology-specific parameters:

- "Code Selection" on page 77 provides configuration of a personalized mix of codes, code families and their options.

Model-specific parameters:

- "Laser Features" on page 227 provides options specific to laser models.

Reading Configuration Barcodes

You must first enable your reader to read barcodes in order to use this section. If you have not done this, go to Setup, starting on page 5 and complete the appropriate procedure.

To program features:

1. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING barcode, available at the top of each programming page, when applicable.
2. Scan the barcode to set the desired programming feature. You may need to cover unused barcodes on the page, and possibly the facing page, to ensure that the reader reads only the barcode you intend to scan.
3. If additional input parameters are needed, go to Appendix D, Keypad, and scan the appropriate characters from the keypad.

Additional information about many features can be found in the "References" chapter.

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. Complete the programming sequence by scanning the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING barcode to exit Programming Mode.

For detailed descriptions, programming information and examples for setting selected configuration items, see References, starting on page 231.

Dither Enable. Allows the laser engine motor to continue dithering when laser is not active; may provide an improved read response time.

ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE Bi-Directional Read Decoding

Bi-Directional Read Decoding

This configuration provides control over the good read and barcode label requirement. This programming option for Gyphon Laser affects all barcode symbologies.
Bi-Directional Read Disable. When Bi-directional reading is disabled, the laser scan is only required to obtain a valid label read in one scanning direction.
Bi-Directional Read Enable. When enabled, the reader is must obtain a valid good read in both scanning directions as part of the label read/decode process. Enabled will provides increased decode reliability.

	Bi-Directional Read Disable
Bi-Directional Read Enable

Always On Scan Mode Timeout

When the WLS9600 is in Always On scanning mode, timeout periods can be configured. If the programmed Always On Timeout elapses, the reader will shut down and a trigger pull is required to resume operation.

	Always On Timeout: 1 Hour
Always On Timeout: 2 Hours
	Always On Timeout: 3 Hours
Always On Timeout: 4 Hours
	Always On Timeout: 5 Hours

RS-232 Parameters

RS-232 Only

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.

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.

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.

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.

RS-232/USB COM Parameters

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. Go to page 25 and scan the barcode: SELECT INTERCHARACTER DELAY SETTING.
5. Scan the appropriate two digits from the keypad in Appendix D, 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.

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

This completes the procedure. See Table 28 for some examples of how to set this feature.

ACK NAK Options

This enables/disables the ability of the reader to support the RS-232 ACK/NAK protocol. When configured, the reader and/or host sends an “ACK” when it receives data properly, and sends “NAK” when the data is in error.

Options are:

• D i s a b l e
- Enable for label transmission — The reader expects an ACK/NAK response from the host when a label is sent.
- Enable for host-command acknowledge — The reader will respond with ACK/NAK when the host sends a command.
- Enable for label transmission and host-command acknowledge

ACK Character

This setting specifies an ASCII character or hex value to be used as the ACK character. ASCII characters or any hex value from 0 to 0xFF can be selected.

Setting to previously defined characters such as XON, XOFF, or host mands conflicts with normal operation of these characters. 8-bit data is not recognized when the option Data Bitshas been set as 7 Data Bits.

1. Determine the desired character or value.
2. Use the ASCII Chart on the inside back cover of this manual to find the hex equivalent for the desired character/value.
3. Go to page 28 and scan ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE to enter Programming Mode.

Symbologies

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.

• Level 1 results in a very conservative decoder at the expense of not being able to read poorly printed or damaged labels.
• 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.
• 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.

Set Length

Length Control allows you to select either variable length decoding or fixed length decoding for the specified symbology.

Variable Length. For variable length decoding, a minimum and maximum length may be set.

Fixed Length. For fixed length decoding, two different lengths may be set.

Set Length 1

This feature specifies one of the barcode lengths for 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 number of characters that can be set varies, depending on the symbology. Reference the page for your selected symbology to see specific variables.

1. Determine the desired character length (varies depending on symbology). Pad the number with leading zeroes to yield two digits. For example: 0 = 00, 5 = 05, 20 = 20, etc.
2. Go to the Set Length page for your selected symbology and scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE barcode to enter Programming Mode.
3. Scan the barcode to SELECT LENGTH 1 SETT ING for your selected symbology.
4. Scan the appropriate two digits from the keypad in Appendix D, 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.

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

Set Length 2

This feature allows you to set one of the barcode lengths for the specified symbology. Length 2 is the maximum label length if in Variable Length Mode, or the second fixed length if in Fixed Length Mode. See the page for the specific symbology for parameters.

The length that can be set varies depending on the symbology. A setting of 0 specifies to ignore this length (only one fixed length).

Follow these instructions to set this feature:

1. Determine the desired character length (from 1 to 50 — or 0 to ignore this length). Pad the number with leading zeroes to yield two digits. For example: 0 = 00, 5 = 05, 20 = 20, etc.
2. Go to the Set Length page for your selected symbology and scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE barcode to enter Programming Mode.
3. Scan the barcode to SELECT LENGTH 2 SET TING for your selected symbology.
4. Scan the appropriate two digits from the keypad in Appendix D, 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.

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

This completes the procedure.

Data Editing

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 Data Editing features 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 6 shows the available elements you can add to a message string:

Figure 6. Breakdown of a Message String

graph TD
    A["Label ID Transmission: Enable this option to transmit the Label ID you configure for the scanned symbology."] --> B["OR..."]
    C["Prefix"] --> D["SuffixAIM ID"]
    D --> E["Label ID Label ID Bar Code Data"]
    E --> F["00 - 20 Characters (ASCII)"]
    G["AIM ID: This function is used to identify and display the common label identifier for its symbology. When enabled, this ID code will be transmitted before the scanned bar code data."] --> H["End"]

Please Keep In Mind...

• Modifying a message string is not a mandatory requirement. Data editing is a 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 only to a specified symbology (reference Code Selection, starting on page 77) or 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 7.

Figure 7. Prefix and Suffix Positions

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. Go to page 52 and scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE 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 D, Keypad.

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

Global AIM ID

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

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 charac ter 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" below) or individually per symbology (see "Label ID: Set Individually Per Symbology" on page 249). If you wish to program the reader to always include an industry standard label identifier for ALL symbology types, see "Global AIM ID" on page 53.

Label ID: Pre-loaded Sets

The reader supports two pre-loaded sets of Label IDs. Table 38 shows the USA and the EU sets.

CAUTION

When changing from one Label ID set to another, all other reader configuration settings, including the host interface type, will be erased and set to the standard 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. Go to page 55 and 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 56. Reference Figure 9 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" on page 57.
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 279 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 39.

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 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.

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. Go to page 64 and 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 D, Keypad and scan the barcodes representing the hex characters determined in the previous step.
5. Scan the ENTER/EXIT barcode to exit Programming Mode.

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.

Reading Parameters

Label Gone Timeout

This feature sets the time after the last label segment is seen before the reader prepares for a new label. The timeout can be set within a range of 10 milliseconds to 2,550 milliseconds (2.55 seconds) in 10ms increments. Label Gone Timeout does not apply to scan modes that require a trigger pull for each label that is read

Follow these instructions to set this feature:

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 three digits. For example: 0 = 000, 5 = 005, 20 = 020, etc.

3. Go to page 67 and scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE barcode to enter Programming Mode.

4. Scan the barcode: SELECT LABEL GONE TIMEOUT SETTING.

5. Scan the appropriate three alpha-numeric characters from the keypad in Appendix D, Keypad representing 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.

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

This completes the procedure. See Table 40 for some examples of how to set this feature.

Good Read LED Duration

This feature specifies the amount of time that the Good Read LED remains on following a good read. The good read LED on time can be set within a range of 10 milliseconds to 2,550 milliseconds (0.001 to 2.55 seconds) in 100ms increments.

Follow these instructions to set this feature:

1. Determine the desired setting in milliseconds. A setting of 0 means that the good read LED stays on until the next time the trigger is pulled.
2. Divide the desired setting by 10 (setting is in 100ms increments). Pad the result with leading zeroes to yield three digits. For example: 0 = 000, 5 = 000, 20 = 020, etc.
3. Go to page 72 and scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE barcode to enter Programming Mode.
4. Scan the barcode: SELECT GOOD READ LED DURATION SETTING.
5. Scan the appropriate three digits from the keypad in Appendix D, Keypad representing 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.

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

This completes the procedure. See Table 41 for some examples of how to set this feature.

Scanning Features

Scan Mode

This mode is associated with typical handheld reader operation. Selects the scan operating mode for the reader. The following selections are valid for all models:

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

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 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. When Flash is ON the imager reads continuously; when Flash is OFF scanning is deactivated.

Flashing is the recommended scan mode for WLS9600 hands-free (stand mode) of operation

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 prevents undesired multiple reads of the same label while in this mode.

Scanning Active Time

This setting specifies the amount of time that the reader stays in scan ON state once the state is entered. The range for this setting is from 1 to 255 seconds in 1-second increments.

Follow these instructions to set this feature:

1. Determine the desired setting.
2. Pad the result with leading zeroes to yield three digits. For example: 0 = 000, 5 = 005, 20 = 020, etc.
3. Go to page 74 and scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE barcode to enter Programming Mode.
4. Scan the barcode: SELECT SCANNING ACTIVE TIME SETTING.
5. Scan the appropriate three digits from the keypad in Appendix D, 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.

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

This completes the procedure. See Table 42 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.

Table 47. LED and Beeper Indications

INDICATION DESCRIPTION LED BEEPER
Power-up Beep The reader is in the process of power-ering-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 Stand Mode or Trigger Stand Mode the green spot shall be on while in stand watch state.	N/A N/A

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

Table 48. Programming Mode Indications

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.

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 (Field Replaceable Unit) 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 — See page 290.)

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.
