Frequently Asked Questions - 7980G-2KBWC-0 HONEYWELL

How do I connect the scanner via USB?
Remove the back cover, feed the interface cable through, and screw the back cover on. Connect the USB cable to your computer. The scanner beeps and defaults to USB PC Keyboard mode. For other USB modes (e.g., serial, HID), scan the appropriate Plug and Play bar code from the manual.
How do I clean the scanner window?
Use a soft cloth or tissue dampened with water or a mild detergent-water solution. For disinfection, use approved wipes like Sani-Cloth HB, CaviWipes, or 70% isopropyl alcohol wipes. Never use abrasive wipes or solvents such as acetone.
What should I do if the scanner does not read a bar code?
First, check that the bar code is not damaged or smeared. Verify that the symbology is enabled (scan All Symbologies On). If using a corded scanner, inspect the cable connection. Reset to factory defaults by scanning Activate Defaults (code DEFALT) if needed.
Can I use the scanner to read bar codes from a mobile phone screen?
Yes. Enable Mobile Phone Read Mode by scanning the Presentation - Mobile Phone bar code (code PAPPSC). This optimizes decoding for LED displays, though printed code speed may slightly decrease.
How do I change the interface from USB to RS232?
Disconnect the USB cable. Connect the appropriate RS232 cable (power supply may be required). Then scan the RS232 Interface Plug and Play bar code (code PAP232), which sets baud rate to 115200, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and adds CR+LF suffix.
What is the default baud rate for RS232?
The factory default for RS232 is 115,200 bps with 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit. You can change it by scanning the baud rate bar codes (e.g., 300, 600, etc.) from the manual.
How do I restore the scanner to factory default settings?
Scan the Activate Defaults bar code (code DEFALT) to reset to factory defaults. If you have set custom defaults, scan Activate Custom Defaults (code DEFAULT) first, then DEFALT to remove custom defaults.
Can I add a prefix or suffix to the scanned data?
Yes. Use the Add Prefix or Add Suffix bar codes (codes PREBK2, SUFBK2). Then select the symbology (or scan 99 for all), enter the desired hex value from the ASCII Conversion Chart, and save. For example, to add a CR suffix to all symbologies, scan Add CR Suffix All Symbologies (code VSUFCR).
How do I program the scanner for a specific terminal (e.g., IBM SurePos)?
Scan the appropriate Plug and Play bar code for your terminal. For IBM SurePos USB, scan USB IBM SurePos (Handheld) or (Tabletop) (codes PAPSPH, PAPSPT). After scanning, power cycle the cash register to activate the interface.
What maintenance does the scanner require?
Minimal. Periodically inspect cables and connectors for wear. Clean the window with approved solutions when performance degrades. Do not submerge in water. For repairs, contact an authorized Honeywell service center. Field-replaceable interface and EAS cables are available.

There is two buttons on the front of the device. The following is a brief description of the settings for the buttons.

Beeper Volume

HONEYWELL 7980G-2KBWC-0 - Button Functionality - 1

HONEYWELL 7980G-2KBWC-0 - Button Functionality - 2

Beeper Pitch

Beeper Pitch

Press repeatedly to scroll through the beeper pitch (frequency): low (870Hz), medium (1140Hz), and high (1800Hz).

Beeper Volume

Press repeatedly to scroll through the beeper volumes: high, medium, low, and off.

Reading Techniques

Present the bar code to the scanner. The LEDs turn up to read the code. If the light level in the room is not high enough, the code may not be read.

Honeywell scanners are programmed by scanning menu bar codes or by sending serial commands to the scanner. If you want to restrict the ability to scan menu codes, you can use the Menu Bar Code Security settings. Please contact the nearest technical support office (see Technical Assistance on page ix) for further information.

Setting Custom Defaults

You have the ability to create a set of menu commands as your own, custom defaults. To do so, scan the Set Custom Defaults bar code below before scanning the menu commands for your custom defaults. If a menu command requires scanning numeric codes from the back cover, then a Save code, that entire sequence will be saved to your custom defaults. When you have entered all the commands you want to save for your custom defaults, scan the Save Custom Defaults bar code.

Save Custom Defaults

You may have a series of custom settings and want to correct a single setting. To do so, just scan the new setting to overwrite the old one. For example, if you had previously saved the setting for Beeper Volume at Low to your custom defaults, and decide you want the beeper volume set to High, just scan the Set Custom Defaults bar code, then scan the Beeper Volume High menu code, and then Save Custom Defaults. The rest of the custom defaults will remain, but the beeper volume setting will be updated.

Resetting the Custom Defaults

If you want the custom default settings restored to your scanner, scan the Activate Custom Defaults bar code below. This is the recommended default bar code for most users. It resets the scanner to the custom default settings. If there are no custom defaults, it will reset the scanner to the factory default settings. Any settings that have not been specified through the custom defaults will be defaulted to the factory default settings.

Data Bits sets the word length at 7 or 8 bits of data per character. If an application requires only ASCII Hex characters 0 through 7F decimal (text, digits, and punctuation), select 7 data bits. For applications that require use of the full ASCII set, select 8 data bits per character. Default = 8.

Stop Bits sets the stop bits at 1 or 2. Default = 1.

RS232 Receiver Time-Out

The unit stays awake to receive data until the RS232 Receiver Time-Out expires. A manual or serial trigger resets the time-out. When an RS232 receiver is sleeping, a character may be sent to wake up the receiver and reset the time-out. A transaction on the CTS line will also wake up the receiver. The receiver takes 300 milliseconds to completely come up. Change the RS232 receiver time-out by scanning the bar code below, then scanning digits from the inside back cover of this manual, then scanning Save. The range is 0 to 300 seconds. Default = 0 seconds (no time-out - always on).

RS232 Receiver Time-Out

RS232 Handshaking

RS232 Handshaking allows control of data transmission from the scanner using software commands from the host device. When RTS/CTS is turned Off, no data flow control is used.

Flow Control, No Timeout: The scanner asserts RTS when it has data to send, and will wait indefinitely for CTS to be asserted by the host.

Two-Direction Flow Control: The scanner asserts RTS when it is OK for the host to transmit. The host asserts CTS when it is OK for the device to transmit.

Flow Control with Timeout: The scanner asserts RTS when it has data to send and waits for a delay (see RS232 Timeout on page 2-20) for CTS to be asserted by the host. If the delay time expires and CTS is not asserted, the device transmit buffer is cleared and scanning may resume.

Default = RTS/CTS Off.

XON/XOFF

Standard ASCII control characters can be used to tell the scanner to start sending data (XON/XOFF On) or to stop sending data (XON/XOFF Off). When the host sends the XOFF character (DC3, hex 13) to the scanner, data transmission stops. To resume transmission, the host sends the XON character (DC1, hex 11). Data transmission continues where it left off when XOFF was sent. Default = XON/XOFF Off.

ACK/NAK

After transmitting data, the scanner waits for an ACK character (hex 06) or a NAK character (hex 15) response from the host. If ACK is received, the communications cycle is completed and the scanner looks for more bar codes. If NAK is received, the last set of bar code data is retransmitted and the scanner waits for ACK/NAK again. Turn on the ACK/NAK protocol by scanning the ACK/NAK On bar code below. To turn off the protocol, scan ACK/NAK Off. Default = ACK/NAK Off.

Presentation Centering

Use Presentation Centering to narrow the scanner's field of view when it is in Presentation Mode to make sure the scanner reads only those bar codes intended by the user. For instance, if multiple codes are placed closely together, Presentation Centering will insure that only the desired codes are read.

If a bar code is not touched by a predefined window, it will not be decoded or output by the scanner. If Presentation Centering is turned on by scanning Presentation Centering On, the scanner only reads codes that pass through the centering window you specify using the Top of Presentation Centering Window, Bottom of Presentation Centering Window, Left, and Right of Presentation Centering Window bar codes.

In the example below, the white box is the centering window. The centering window has been set to 20% left, 30% right, 8% top, and 25% bottom. Since Bar Code 1 passes through the centering window, it will be read. Bar Code 2 does not pass through the centering window, so it will not be read.

Streaming Presentation™ Mode

When in Streaming Presentation mode, the scan illumination remains on all the time to continuously search for bar codes. Two modes are available, Normal and Enhanced. Normal mode offers good scan speed and the longest working ranges (depth of field). Enhanced mode will give you the highest possible scan speed but slightly less range than Normal mode. Enhanced mode is best used when you require a very fast scan speed and don't require a long working range.

Poor Quality PDF Codes

This setting improves the scanner's ability to read damaged or badly printed PDF codes by combining information from multiple images. When Poor Quality PDF On is scanned, poor quality PDF code reading is improved, but the scanner's snappiness is decreased, making it less aggressive when reading good quality bar codes. This setting does not affect 1D bar code reading.

Reread Delay

This sets the time period before the scanner can read the same bar code a second time. Setting a reread delay protects against accidental rereads of the same bar code. Longer delays are effective in minimizing accidental rereads. Use shorter delays in applications where repetitive bar code scanning is required. Reread Delay only works when in a Presentation Mode (see page 3-5). Default = Short.

HONEYWELL 7980G-2KBWC-0 - Illumination Lights - 2

Centering

Use Centering to narrow the scanner's field of view to make sure that when the scanner is hand-held, it reads only those bar codes intended by the user. For instance, if multiple codes are placed closely together, centering will insure that only the desired codes are read. (Centering can be used in conjunction with Centering, page 3-11, for the most error-free operation in applications where multiple codes are spaced closely together.)

Note: To adjust centering when the scanner is in Presentation Mode, see Presentation Centering (page 3-7).

If a bar code is not touched by a predefined window, it will not be decoded or output by the scanner. If centering is turned on by scanning Centering On, the scanner only reads codes that pass through the centering window you specify using the Top of Centering Window, Bottom of Centering Window, Left, and Right of Centering Window bar codes.

In the example below, the white box is the centering window. The centering window has been set to 20% left, 30% right, 8% top, and 25% bottom. Since Bar Code 1 passes through the centering window, it will be read. Bar Code 2 does not pass through the centering window, so it will not be read.

HONEYWELL 7980G-2KBWC-0 - Centering - 1
Note: A bar code needs only to be touched by the centering window in order to be read. It does not need to pass completely through the centering window.

Scan Centering On, then scan one of the following bar codes to change the top, bottom, left, or right of the centering window. Then scan the percent you want to shift the centering window using digits on the inside back cover of this manual. Scan Save. Default Centering = 40% for Top and Left, 60% for Bottom and Right.

Preferred Symbology

The scanner can be programmed to specify one symbology as a higher priority over other symbologies in situations where both bar code symbologies appear on the same label, but the lower priority symbology cannot be disabled.

For example, you may be using the scanner in a retail setting to read U.P.C. symbols, but have occasional need to read a code on a drivers license. Since some licenses have a Code 39 symbol as well as the PDF417 symbol, you can use Preferred Symbolology to specify that the PDF417 symbol be read instead of the Code 39.

Preferred Symbology classifies each symbology as high priority, low priority, or as an unspecified type. When a low priority symbology is presented, the scanner ignores it for a set period of time (see Preferred Symbology Time-out on page 3-13) while it searches for the high priority symbology. If a high priority symbology is located during this period, then that data is read immediately.

If the time-out period expires before a high priority symbology is read, the scanner will read any bar code in its view (low priority or unspecified). If there is no bar code in the scanner's view after the time-out period expires, then no data is reported.

Note: A low priority symbol must be centered on the aiming pattern to be read.

Scan a bar code below to enable or disable Preferred Symbology. Default = Preferred Symbology Off.

Output Sequence Overview

Require Output Sequence

When turned off, the bar code data will be output to the host as the scanner decodes it. When turned on, all output data must conform to an edited sequence or the scanner will not transmit the output data to the host device.

Note: This selection is unavailable when the Multiple Symbols Selection is turned on.

Output Sequence Editor

This programming selection allows you to program the scanner to output data (when scanning more than one symbol) in whatever order your application requires, regardless of the order in which the bar codes are scanned. Reading the Default Sequence symbol programs the scanner to the Universal values, shown below. These are the defaults. Be certain you want to delete or clear all formats before you read the Default Sequence symbol.

Note: To make Output Sequence Editor selections, you'll need to know the code I.D., code length, and character match(es) your application requires. Use the Alphanumeric symbols (inside back cover) to read these options.

To Add an Output Sequence

  1. Scan the Enter Sequence symbol (see Require Output Sequence, page 3-18).
  2. Code I.D.

On the Symbology Charts on page A-1, find the symbology to which you want to apply the output sequence format. Locate the Hex value for that symbology and scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart (inside back cover).

  1. Length

Specify what length (up to 9999 characters) of data output will be acceptable for this symbology. Scan the four digit data length from the Programming Chart. (Note: 50 characters is entered as 0050. 9999 is a universal number, indicating all lengths.) When calculating the length, you must count any programmed prefixes, suffixes, or formatted characters as part of the length (unless using 9999).

  1. Character Match Sequences

On the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), page A-3, find the Hex value that represents the character(s) you want to match. Use the Programming Chart to read the alphanumeric combination that represents the ASCII characters. (99 is the Universal number, indicating all characters.)

Output Sequence Example

In this example, you are scanning Code 93, Code 128, and Code 39 bar codes, but you want the scanner to output Code 39 1st, Code 128 2nd, and Code 93 3rd, as shown below.

Note: Code 93 must be enabled to use this example.

A - Code 39 B - Code 128 C - Code 93

You would set up the sequence editor with the following command line:

SEQBLK62999941FF6A999942FF69999943FF

The breakdown of the command line is shown below:

SEQBLKsequence editor start command

62 code identifier for Code 39

9999 code length that must match for Code 39, 9999 = all lengths

41 start character match for Code 39, 41h = "A"

Partial Sequence

If an output sequence operation is terminated before all your output sequence criteria are met, the bar code data acquired to that point is a “partial sequence.”

Scan Discard Partial Sequence to discard partial sequences when the output sequence operation is terminated before completion. Scan Transmit Partial Sequence to transmit partial sequences. (Any fields in the sequence where no data match occurred will be skipped in the output.)

Require Output Sequence

When an output sequence is Required, all output data must conform to an edited sequence or the scanner will not transmit the output data to the host device. When it's On/Not Required, the scanner will attempt to get the output data to conform to an edited sequence but, if it cannot, the scanner transmits all output data to the host device as is.

When the output sequence is Off, the bar code data is output to the host as the scanner decodes it. Default = Off.

Note: This selection is unavailable when the Multiple Symbols Selection is turned on.

No Read

With No Read turned On, the scanner notifies you if a code cannot be read. If using an EZConfig-Scanning Tool Scan Data Window (see page 11-3), an "NR" appears when a code cannot be read. If No Read is turned Off, the "NR" will not appear. Default = Off.

If you want a different notation than "NR," for example, "Error," or "Bad Code," you can edit the output message (see Data Formatting beginning on page 5-1). The hex code for the No Read symbol is 9C.

Video Reverse

Video Reverse is used to allow the scanner to read bar codes that are inverted. The Video Reverse Off bar code below is an example of this type of bar code. Scan Video Reverse Only to read only inverted bar codes. Scan Video Reverse and Standard Bar Codes to read both types of codes.

Note: After scanning Video Reverse Only, menu bar codes cannot be read. You must scan Video Reverse Off or Video Reverse and Standard Bar Codes in order to read menu bar codes.

Note: Images downloaded from the unit are not reversed. This is a setting for decoding only.

Prefix/Suffix Overview

When a bar code is scanned, additional information is sent to the host computer along with the bar code data. This group of bar code data and additional, user-defined data is called a "message string." The selections in this section are used to build the user-defined data into the message string.

Prefix and Suffix characters are 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. The following illustration shows the breakdown of a message string:

Points to Keep In Mind

  • It is not necessary to build a message string. The selections in this chapter are only used if you wish to alter the default settings. Default prefix = None. Default suffix = None.
  • A prefix or suffix may be added or cleared from one symbology or all symbologies.
  • You can add any prefix or suffix from the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), beginning on page A-3, plus Code I.D. and AIM I.D.
  • You can string together several entries for several symbologies at one time.
  • Enter prefixes and suffixes in the order in which you want them to appear on the output.
  • When setting up for specific symbologies (as opposed to all symbologies), the specific symbology ID value counts as an added prefix or suffix character.
  • The maximum size of a prefix or suffix configuration is 200 characters, which includes header information.

To Add a Prefix or Suffix:

Step 1. Scan the Add Prefix or Add Suffix symbol (page 4-2).

Step 2. Determine the 2 digit Hex value from the Symbology Chart (included in the Symbology Charts, beginning on page A-1) for the symbology to which you want to apply the prefix or suffix. For example, for Code 128, Code ID is "j" and Hex ID is "6A".

Step 3. Scan the 2 hex digits from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual or scan 9, 9 for all symbologies.

Step 4. Determine the hex value from the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), beginning on page A-3, for the prefix or suffix you wish to enter.

Note: To add the Code I.D., scan 5, C, 8, 0.

To add AIM I.D., scan 5, C, 8, 1.

To add a backslash (), scan 5, C, 5, C.

To add a backslash (i) as in Step 7, you must scan 5C twice – once to create the leading backslash and then to create the backslash itself.

Step 5. Scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual.

Step 6. Repeat Steps 4 and 5 for every prefix or suffix character.

Step 7. Scan Save to exit and save, or scan Discard to exit without saving.

Repeat Steps 1-6 to add a prefix or suffix for another symbology.

Example: Add a Tab Suffix to All Symbologies

Step 1. Scan Add Suffix.

Step 2. Scan 9, 9 from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual to apply this suffix to all symbologies.
Step 3. Scan 0, 9 from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual. This corresponds with the hex value for a horizontal tab, shown in the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), beginning on page A-3.
Step 4. Scan Save, or scan Discard to exit without saving.

To Clear One or All Prefixes or Suffixes

You can clear a single prefix or suffix, or clear all prefixes/suffixes for a symbology. If you have been entering prefixes and suffixes for single symbologies, you can use Clear One Prefix (Suffix) to delete a specific character from a symbology. When you Clear All Prefixes (Suffixes), all the prefixes or suffixes for a symbology are deleted.

Step 1. Scan the Clear One Prefix or Clear One Suffix symbol.
Step 2. Determine the 2 digit Hex value from the Symbology Chart (included in the Symbology Charts, beginning on page A-1) for the symbology from which you want to clear the prefix or suffix.
Step 3. Scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual or scan 9, 9 for all symbologies.

Your change is automatically saved.

To Add a Carriage Return Suffix to All Symbologies

Scan the following bar code if you wish to add a carriage return suffix to all symbologies at once. This action first clears all current suffixes, then programs a carriage return suffix for all symbologies.

Function Code Transmit

When this selection is enabled and function codes are contained within the scanned data, the scanner transmits the function code to the terminal. Charts of these function codes are provided in Supported Interface Keys starting on page 10-2. When the scanner is in keyboard wedge mode, the scan code is converted to a key code before it is transmitted. Default = Enable.

Intercharacter, Interfunction, and Intermessage Delays

Some terminals drop information (characters) if data comes through too quickly. Intercharacter, interfunction, and intermessage delays slow the transmission of data, increasing data integrity.

Intercharacter Delay

An intercharacter delay of up to 5000 milliseconds (in 5ms increments) may be placed between the transmission of each character of scanned data. Scan the Intercharacter Delay bar code below, then scan the number of 5ms delays, and the Save bar code using the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual.

Prefix Scanned Data Suffix 1 2 3 4 5 Intercharacter Delay DLYCHR. Intercharacter Delay

To remove this delay, scan the Intercharacter Delay bar code, then set the number of delays to 0. Scan the Save bar code using the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual.

Note: Intercharacter delays are not supported in USB serial emulation.

User Specified Intercharacter Delay

An intercharacter delay of up to 5000 milliseconds (in 5ms increments) may be placed after the transmission of a particular character of scanned data. Scan the Delay Length bar code below, then scan the number of 5ms delays, and the Save bar code using the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual.

Next, scan the Character to Trigger Delay bar code, then the 2-digit hex value for a printable character to trigger the delay (see Lower ASCII Reference Table beginning on page A-4).

Data Format Editor Introduction

You may use the Data Format Editor to change the scanner's output. For example, you can use the Data Format Editor to insert characters at certain points in bar code data as it is scanned. The selections in the following pages are used only if you wish to alter the output. Default Data Format setting = None.

Normally, when you scan a bar code, it is output automatically. However, when you create a format, you must use a "send" command (see Send Commands on page 5-3) within the format program to output data.

Multiple formats may be programmed into the scanner. They are stacked in the order in which they are entered. However, the following list presents the order in which formats are applied:

  1. Specific Terminal ID, Actual Code ID, Actual Length
  2. Specific Terminal ID, Actual Code ID, Universal Length
  3. Specific Terminal ID, Universal Code ID, Actual Length
  4. Specific Terminal ID, Universal Code ID, Universal Length
  5. Universal Terminal ID, Actual Code ID, Actual Length
  6. Universal Terminal ID, Actual Code ID, Universal Length
  7. Universal Terminal ID, Universal Code ID, Actual Length
  8. Universal Terminal ID, Universal Code ID, Universal Length

The maximum size of a data format configuration is 2000 bytes, which includes header information.

If you have changed data format settings, and wish to clear all formats and return to the factory defaults, scan the Default Data Format code below.

HONEYWELL 7980G-2KBWC-0 - Data Format Editor Introduction - 1

DFMDF3.

* Default Data Format

Add a Data Format

Step 1. Scan the Enter Data Format symbol (page 5-2).

Step 2. Select Primary/Alternate Format

Determine if this will be your primary data format, or one of 3 alternate formats. This allows you to save a total of 4 different data formats. To program your primary format, scan 0 using the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual. If you are programming an alternate format, scan 1, 2, or 3, depending on which alternate format you are programming. (See "Primary/Alternate Data Formats" on page 5-12 for further information.)

Step 3. Terminal Type

Refer to Terminal ID Table (page 5-3) and locate the Terminal ID number for your PC. Scan three numeric bar codes on the inside back cover to program the scanner for your terminal ID (you must enter 3 digits). For example, scan 0 0 3 for an AT wedge.

Note: 099 indicates all terminal types.

Step 4. Code I.D.

In the Symbology Charts, beginning on page A-1, find the symbology to which you want to apply the data format. Locate the Hex value for that symbology and scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual.

If you wish to create a data format for all symbologies, with the exception of some specific symbologies, refer to B8 (page 5-11).

If you are creating a data format for Batch Mode Quantity, use 35 for the Code I.D.

Note: 99 indicates all symbologies.

Step 5. Length

Specify what length (up to 9999 characters) of data will be acceptable for this symbology. Scan the four digit data length from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual. For example, 50 characters is entered as 0050. Note: 9999 indicates all lengths.

Step 6. Editor Commands

Refer to Data Format Editor Commands (page 5-3). Scan the symbols that represent the command you want to enter.

Step 7. Scan Save to save your data format, or Discard to exit without saving your changes.

Other Programming Selections

Clear One Data Format

This deletes one data format for one symbology. If you are clearing the primary format, scan 0 from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual. If you are clearing an alternate format, scan 1, 2, or 3, depending on the format you are clearing. Scan the Terminal Type and Code I.D. (see Symbology Charts on page A-1), and the bar code data length for the specific data format that you want to delete. All other formats remain unaffected.

Clear all Data Formats

This clears all data formats.

Shift Right 02
Alt Left 04
Alt Right 08
Control Left 10
Control Right 20

For example, B501021F inserts an "A" on a 104 key, U.S. style keyboard. B5 = the command, 01 = number of keys pressed (without the key modifier), 02 is the key modifier for Shift Right, and 1F is the "a" key. If a lower case "a" were to be inserted, B501001F would be entered.

If there are three keystrokes, the syntax would change from B5xxssnn for one keystroke to B5xxssnnssnnssnn. An example that would insert "abc" is as follows: B503001F00320030F833.

Note: Key modifiers can be added together when needed. Example: Control Left+Shift Left = 11.

Discard Data

B8 Discards types of data. For example, you may want to discard Code 128 bar codes that begin with the letter A. In step 4 (page 5-1), select 6A (for Code 128), and in step 5, select 9999 (for all lengths). Enter FE41B8 to compare and discard Code 128 bar codes that begin with the letter A. Syntax = B8.

Note: The B8 command must be entered after all other commands.

The Data Format must be Required (see page 5-11) in order for the B8 command to work. If Data Format is On, but Not Required (page 5-12), bar code data that meets the B8 format is scanned and output as usual. Other data format settings impact the B8 command. If Data Format Non-Match Error Tone is On (page 5-12), the scanner emits an error tone. If Data format Non-Match Error Tone is Off, the code is disabled for reading and no tone is sounded.

Data Formatter

When Data Formatter is turned Off, the bar code data is output to the host as read, including prefixes and suffixes.

HONEYWELL 7980G-2KBWC-0 - Data Formatter - 1

You may wish to require the data to conform to a data format you have created and saved. The following settings can be applied to your data format:

Data Formatter On, Not Required, Keep Prefix/Suffix

Scanned data is modified according to your data format, and prefixes and suffixes are transmitted.

Data Formatter On, Not Required, Drop Prefix/Suffix

Scanned data is modified according to your data format. If a data format is found for a particular symbol, those prefixes and suffixes are not transmitted. If a data format is not found for that symbol, the prefixes and suffixes are transmitted.

Data Format Required, Keep Prefix/Suffix

Scanned data is modified according to your data format, and prefixes and suffixes are transmitted. Any data that does not match your data format requirements generates an error tone and the data in that bar code is not transmitted. If you wish to process this type of bar code without generating an error tone, see Data Format Non-Match Error Tone.

Data Format Required, Drop Prefix/Suffix

Scanned data is modified according to your data format. If a data format is found for a particular symbol, those prefixes and suffixes are not transmitted. Any data that does not match your data format requirements generates an error tone. If you wish to process this type of bar code without generating an error tone, see Data Format Non-Match Error Tone.

Message Length Description

You are able to set the valid reading length of some of the bar code symbologies. You may wish to set the same value for minimum and maximum length to force the scanner to read fixed length bar code data. This helps reduce the chances of a misread.

EXAMPLE: Decode only those bar codes with a count of 9-20 characters.

Min. length = 09Max. length = 20

EXAMPLE: Decode only those bar codes with a count of 15 characters.

Min. length = 15Max. length = 15

For a value other than the minimum and maximum message length defaults, scan the bar codes included in the explanation of the symbology, then scan the digit value of the message length and Save bar codes on the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual. The minimum and maximum lengths and the defaults are included with the respective symbologies.

Note that the higher the redundancy count, the longer it will take to decode the bar code. To adjust the redundancy, scan the Interleaved 2 of 5 Redundancy bar code below, then scan a redundancy count between 0 and 10 on the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual, then scanning Save. Default = 0.

Code 93 Append

This function allows the scanner to append the data from several Code 93 bar codes together before transmitting them to the host computer. When this function is enabled, the scanner stores those Code 93 bar codes that start with a space (excluding the start and stop symbols), and does not immediately transmit the data. The scanner stores the data in the order in which the bar codes are read, deleting the first space from each. The scanner transmits the appended data when it reads a Code 93 bar code that starts with a character other than a space. Default = Off.

GS1 Emulation

The scanner can automatically format the output from any GS1 data carrier to emulate what would be encoded in an equivalent GS1-128 or GS1 DataBar symbol. GS1 data carriers include UPC-A and UPC-E, EAN-13 and EAN-8, ITF-14, GS1-128, and GS1-128 DataBar and GS1 Composites. (Any application that accepts GS1 data can be simplified since it only needs to recognize one data carrier type.)

If GS1-128 Emulation is scanned, all retail codes (U.P.C., UPC-E, EAN8, EAN13) are expanded out to 16 digits. If the AIM ID is enabled, the value will be the GS1-128 AIM ID, ]C1 (see Symbology Charts on page A-1).

If GS1 DataBar Emulation is scanned, all retail codes (U.P.C., UPC-E, EAN8, EAN13) are expanded out to 16 digits. If the AIM ID is enabled, the value will be the GS1-DataBar AIM ID, ]em (see Symbology Charts on page A-1).

If GS1 Code Expansion Off is scanned, retail code expansion is disabled, and UPC-E expansion is controlled by the UPC-E0 Expand (page 6-22) setting. If the AIM ID is enabled, the value will be the GS1-128 AIM ID, ]C1 (see Symbology Charts on page A-1).

If EAN8 to EAN13 Conversion is scanned, all EAN8 bar codes are converted to EAN13 format.

Default = GS1 Emulation Off.

EAS Considerations

Do not install any large iron fixtures, such as steel support poles, near the Solaris 7980g. Doing so may re-shape the EAS tag deactivation field.

EAS Deactivation

The Solaris 7980g supports deactivation of Checkpoint and Sensormatic/Tyco EAS tags. The following illustration shows the location of the EAS deactivation area. It is important to pass the entire tag through this area to deactivate the security tag.

Note: Do not store tags within 18.0 in (45.7cm) of the Solaris 7980g. Tags stored closer than 18.0 in (45.7cm) may be unintentionally deactivated. This area also includes storage areas located under the Solaris 7980g.

EAS Deactivation Zone

The entire tag must pass through the EAS deactivation area.

EAS Mode of Operation

Scan one of the following bar codes to select the EAS mode you wish to use.

When Interlocked is selected, EAS tag deactivation is interlocked with bar code scanning and transmission. When using Interlocked, you must set the timeout (see below).

When Continuous on Enable is selected, EAS tag deactivation is on all the time.

Default = Interlocked.

HONEYWELL 7980G-2KBWC-0 - EAS Mode of Operation - 1

EAS Interlocked Duration Timeout

When using the Interlocked EAS Mode of Operation, you must set the lag time between when a bar code is read and when the EAS tag is deactivated. Use this selection to set this timeout (in milliseconds). After scanning the EAS Interlocked Duration Timeout bar code, set the timeout duration (from 1-5000 milliseconds) by scanning digits on the Programming Chart inside the back cover, then scanning Save. Default = 100 ms, which is 0.1 second.

This chapter describes how to program auxiliary scanners that will be connected to the Solaris scanner.

Connecting by USB Serial

The Solaris 7980g auxiliary port supports Honeywell hand-held scanners with a menu system. Scan the following code to configure the Honeywell hand-held scanner for the auxiliary port:

TRMUSB130. USB Serial

No extra configuration (e.g., baud rate) is necessary.

Note: Once the auxiliary scanner is configured for USB Serial, do not scan any configuration codes with the auxiliary scanner.

Connecting by USB Keyboard

The Solaris 7980g auxiliary port supports Honeywell or third party hand-held scanners that supports USB Keyboard interface. Follow the steps below to configure the auxiliary scanner. Contact the nearest technical support office (See Technical Assistance on page ix) for further information.

Note: We recommend using Honeywell hand-held scanners. Non-Honeywell, or third party, scanners may not work with the Solaris 7980g.

Step 1. Configure the scanner to USB Keyboard interface.

Step 2. Configure the scanner to output AIM I.D.

Step 3. Configure the scanner to output CR Suffix.

Step 4. Set the Keyboard Country Layout to U.S.A.

Note: Once the auxiliary scanner is configured for USB Keyboard, do not scan any configuration codes with the auxiliary scanner.

The scanner is like a digital camera in the way it captures, manipulates, and transfers images. The following commands allow you to alter the way the scanner performs these functions.

Note: You must set the scanner a Serial Trigger Mode (page 3-4) in order to take images.

Single-Use Basis

Imaging Commands with their modifiers send instructions to the scanner on a single-use basis, and take effect for a single image capture. Once that capture is complete, the scanner reverts to its imaging default settings. If you want to permanently change a setting, you must use the serial default commands (see Chapter 12). When the serial default command is used, that selection becomes the new, permanent setting for the scanner.

Command Syntax

Multiple modifiers and commands can be issued within one sequence. If additional modifiers are to be applied to the same command, just add the modifiers to that command. For example, to add a modifier to the Image Snap command, such as setting the Imaging Style to 1P, you would enter IMGSNP1P.

Note: After processing an image capture command (IMGSNP or IMGBOX), you must follow it with an IMGSHP command if you want to see it on your terminal.

To add a command to a sequence, each new command is separated with a semicolon. For example, to add the Image Ship command to the above sequence, you would enter IMGSNP1P;IMGSHP.

The imaging commands are:

Image Snap - IMGSNP (page 9-1)

Image Ship - IMGSHP (page 9-3)

Intelligent Signature Capture - IMGBOX (page 9-10)

The modifiers for each of these commands follow the command description.

Note: The images included with each command description are examples only. The results you achieve may be different from those included in this manual. The quality of the output you receive will vary depending on lighting, quality of the initial image/object being captured, and distance of the scanner from the image/object. To achieve a high quality image, it is recommended that you position your scanner 4-6" (10.2-15.2 cm) away from the image/object you are capturing.

Step 1 - Take a Picture Using IMGSNP

Image Snap - IMGSNP

An image is taken whenever the Image Snap (IMGSNP) command is processed.

The image snap command has many different modifiers that can be used to change the look of the image in memory. Any number of modifiers may be appended to the IMGSNP command. For example, you can use the following command to snap an image, increase the gain, and have the beeper sound once the snap is complete: IMGSNP2G1B

IMGSNP Modifiers

P - Imaging Style

This sets the Image Snap style.

0P Decoding Style. This processing allows a few frames to be taken until the exposure parameters are met. The last frame is then available for further use.
1P Photo Style (default). This mimics a simple digital camera, and results in a visually optimized image.
2P Manual Style. This is an advanced style that should only be used by an experienced user. It allows you the most freedom to set up the scanner, and has no auto-exposure.

B - Beeper

Causes a beep to sound after an image is snapped.

0B No beep (default)

1B Sounds a beep when the image is captured.

L - LED State

Determines if the LEDs should be on or off, and when. Ambient illumination (0L) is preferred for taking pictures of color documents, such as ID cards. LED illumination (1L) is preferred when the scanner is handheld. LED State is not available when using Decoding Style (0P).

0L LEDs off (default)

1L LEDs on

E - Exposure

Exposure is used in Manual Style only (2P), and allows you to set the exposure time. This is similar to setting a shutter speed on a camera. The exposure time determines how long the scanner takes to record an image. On a bright day, exposure times can be very short because plenty of light is available to help record an image. At nighttime, exposure time can increase dramatically due to the near absence of light. Units are 127 microseconds. (Default = 7874)

nE Range: 1 - 7874

Example of Exposure at 7874E with fluorescent lighting:
HONEYWELL 7980G-2KBWC-0 - E - Exposure - 1

natural_image Abstract illustration of a human face with floating computer screens and arrows, symbolizing data or communication (no text or symbols present)

Example of Exposure at 100E with fluorescent lighting:
HONEYWELL 7980G-2KBWC-0 - E - Exposure - 2

natural_image Silhouette of a human face with abstract digital interface elements floating around (no text or symbols)

G - Gain

Gain is used in Manual Style only (2P). Like a volume control, the gain modifier boosts the signal and multiplies the pixel value. As you increase the gain, the noise in an image is also amplified.

1G No gain (default)
2G Medium gain
4G Heavy gain
8G Maximum gain

Example of Gain at 1G:
HONEYWELL 7980G-2KBWC-0 - G - Gain - 1

Example of Gain at 4G:
HONEYWELL 7980G-2KBWC-0 - G - Gain - 2

Example of Gain at 8G:
HONEYWELL 7980G-2KBWC-0 - G - Gain - 3

W - Target White Value

Sets the target for the median grayscale value in the captured image. For capturing close-up images of high contrast documents, a lower setting, such as 75, is recommended. Higher settings result in longer exposure times and brighter images, but if the setting is too high, the image may be overexposed. Target White Value is only available when using Photo Style (1P). (Default = 125)

nW Range: 0 - 255

Example of White Value at 75W:

Example of White Value at 125W:

Example of White Value at 200W:

HONEYWELL 7980G-2KBWC-0 - W - Target White Value - 1

natural_image Close-up of multiple metallic vials with caps, arranged in a row (no visible text or symbols)

HONEYWELL 7980G-2KBWC-0 - W - Target White Value - 2

natural_image Close-up of multiple small mechanical components or parts arranged in a row (no visible text or symbols)

HONEYWELL 7980G-2KBWC-0 - W - Target White Value - 3

D - Delta for Acceptance

This sets the allowable range for the white value setting (see W - Target White Value). Delta is only available when using Photo Style (1P). (Default = 25)

nD Range: 0 - 255

U - Update Tries

This sets the maximum number of frames the scanner should take to reach the D - Delta for Acceptance. Update Tries is only available when using Photo Style (1P). (Default = 6)

nU Range: 0 - 10

% - Target Set Point Percentage

Sets the target point for the light and dark values in the captured image. A setting of 75% means 75% of the pixels are at or below the target white value, and 25% of the pixels are above the target white value. Altering this setting from the default is not recommended under normal circumstances. To alter grayscale values, W - Target White Value should be used. (Default = 50)

n% Range: 1 - 99

Example of Target Set Point Percentage at 97%:

Example of Target Set Point Percentage at 50%:

Example of Target Set Point Percentage at 40%:

HONEYWELL 7980G-2KBWC-0 - % - Target Set Point Percentage - 1

Step 2 - Ship a Picture Using IMGSHP

Image Ship - IMGSHP

An image is taken whenever the Image Snap (IMGSNP) command is processed. The last image is always stored in memory. You can "ship" the image by using the IMGSHP command.

The image ship commands have many different modifiers that can be used to change the look of the image output. Modifiers affect the image that is transmitted, but do not affect the image in memory. Any number of modifiers may be appended to the IMGSHP command. For example, you can use the following command to snap and ship a bitmap image with gamma correction and document image filtering: IMGSNP;IMGSHP8F75K26U

IMGSHP Modifiers

A - Infinity Filter

Enhances pictures taken from very long distances (greater than 10 feet or 3m). The Infinity Filter should not be used with IMGSNP Modifiers (page 9-1).

0A Infinity filter off (default)

1A Infinity filter on

Example of Infinity Filter off (0A) from approximately 12 feet (3.66m) away:

HONEYWELL 7980G-2KBWC-0 - A - Infinity Filter - 1

natural_image Simple black arrow pointing upward on a white background (no text or symbols)

D - Pixel Depth

Indicates the number of bits per pixel in the transmitted image (KIM or BMP format only).

8D 8 bits per pixel, grayscale image (default)

1D 1 bit per pixel, black and white image

E - Edge Sharpen

An edge sharpen filter cleans up the edges of an image, making it look cleaner and sharper. While edge sharpening does make the image look cleaner, it also removes some fine detail from the original image. The strength of the edge sharpen filter can be entered from 1 to 24. Entering a 23E gives the sharpest edges, but also increases noise in the image.

OE Don't sharpen image (default)

14E Apply edge sharpen for typical image

ne Apply edge sharpen using strength n (n = 1-24)

Example of Edge Sharpen at 0E: Example of Edge Sharpen at 24E:

HONEYWELL 7980G-2KBWC-0 - E - Edge Sharpen - 1

natural_image Abstract black-and-white sketch of interlocking mechanical parts (no text or symbols)

HONEYWELL 7980G-2KBWC-0 - E - Edge Sharpen - 2

natural_image Abstract black-and-white sketch of intersecting lines and shapes (no text or symbols)

F - File Format

Indicates the desired format for the image.

OF KIM format

1F TIFF binary

2F TIFF binary group 4, compressed

3F TIFF grayscale

4F Uncompressed binary (upper left to lower right, 1 pixel/bit, 0 padded end of line)

5F Uncompressed grayscale (upper left to lower right, bitmap format)

6F JPEG image (default)

8F BMP format (lower right to upper left, uncompressed)

H - Histogram Stretch

Increases the contrast of the transmitted image. Not available with some image formats.

0H No stretch (default)

1H Histogram stretch

Example of Histogram Stretch at 0H: Example of Histogram Stretch at 1H:

natural_image Close-up of two metal pliers with engraved markings (no visible text or symbols)

HONEYWELL 7980G-2KBWC-0 - IR - Image Rotate - 4

J - JPEG Image Quality

Sets the desired quality when the JPEG image format is selected. Higher numbers result in higher quality, but larger files. Smaller numbers result in greater amounts of lossy compression, faster transmission times, lower quality, but smaller files. (Default = 50)

nJ Image is compressed as much as possible while preserving quality factor of n (n = 0 - 100)

0J worst quality (smallest file)

100Jbest quality (largest file)

K - Gamma Correction

Gamma measures the brightness of midtone values produced by the image. You can brighten or darken an image using gamma correction. A higher gamma correction yields an overall brighter image. The lower the setting, the darker the image. The optimal setting for text images is 50K.

0K Gamma correction off (default)

50K Apply gamma correction for brightening typical document image

nK Apply gamma correction factor n (n = 0-1,000)

Example of Gamma Correction set to 0K:
ON 4 JRI 5 MNO 6 WXT2

Example of Gamma Correction set to 50K:
ON 4 IN 2 IN 5 7 MNO 8 WXY

Example of Gamma Correction set to 255K:
4 2 7 5 8 MNO 6 WXY2

L, R, T, B, M - Image Cropping

Ships a window of the image by specifying the left, right, top, and bottom pixel coordinates. Device columns are numbered 0 through 1279, and device rows are numbered 0 through 959.

nL The left edge of the shipped image corresponds to column n of the image in memory. Range: 000 - 843. (Default = 0)

nR The right edge of the shipped image corresponds to column n - 1 of the image in memory. Range: 000 - 843. (Default = all columns)

nT The top edge of the shipped image corresponds to row n of the image in memory. Range: 000 - 639. (Default = 0)

nB The bottom edge of the shipped image corresponds to row n - 1 of the image in memory. Range: 000 - 639. (Default = all rows)

HONEYWELL 7980G-2KBWC-0 - L, R, T, B, M - Image Cropping - 5

Alternately, specify the number of pixels to cut from the outside margin of the image; thus only the center pixels are transmitted.

nM Margin: cut n columns from the left, n + 1 columns from the right, n rows from the top, and n + 1 rows from the bottom of the image. Ship the remaining center pixels. Range: 0 - 238. (Default = 0, or full image)

Example of Image Crop set to 238M:

HONEYWELL 7980G-2KBWC-0 - L, R, T, B, M - Image Cropping - 6

P - Protocol

Used for shipping an image. Protocol covers two features of the image data being sent to the host. It addresses the protocol used to send the data (Hmodem, which is an Xmodem 1K variant that has additional header information), and the format of the image data that is sent.

OP None (raw data)

2P None (default for USB)

3P Hmodem compressed (default for RS232)

4P Hmodem

S - Pixel Ship

Pixel Ship sizes an image in proportion to its original size. It decimates the image by shipping only certain, regularly spaced pixels. For example, 4S would transmit every fourth pixel from every fourth line. The smaller number of pixels shipped, the smaller the image, however, after a certain point the image becomes unusable.

1S ship every pixel (default)

2S ship every 2nd pixel, both horizontally and vertically

3S ship every 3rd pixel, both horizontally and vertically

Example of Pixel Ship set to 1S:
10:19 22 MAY 00 10:19 10:10 TOKU 6.1.00 NEW YORK TIMES THE NEW YORK TIMES

Example of Pixel Ship set to 2S:
HONEYWELL 7980G-2KBWC-0 - S - Pixel Ship - 2

Example of Pixel Ship set to 3S:
HONEYWELL 7980G-2KBWC-0 - S - Pixel Ship - 3

U - Document Image Filter

Allows you to input parameters to sharpen the edges and smooth the area between the edges of text in an image. This filter should be used with gamma correction (see page 9-7) and the image captured using the command:

IMGSNP1P0L168W90%32D

This filter typically provides better JPEG compression than the standard E - Edge Sharpen command (see page 9-9). This filter also works well when shipping pure black and white images (1 bit per pixel). The optimal setting is 26U.

0U Document image filter off (default)

26U Apply document image filter for typical document image

nU Apply document image filter using grayscale threshold n. Use lower numbers when the image contrast is lower. 1U will have a similar effect to setting E - Edge Sharpen (page 9-5) to 22e. Range: 0-255.

Example of Document Image Filter set to 0U:
Pomyskogus IDENTIFICATION CARD 99 900 103 Date: 22/28/1956 City: FL Address: 9741 Phone: 10761/2005 Email: 10381/2009 ORGANEDOR EVELYN I SAMPLE, 123 HIGHLAND AVE. WILKES SARRIGA 000000 ID

W - Histogram Ship

A histogram gives a quick picture of the tonal range of an image, or key type. A low-key image has detail concentrated in the shadows; a high-key image has detail concentrated in the highlights; and an average-key image has detail concentrated in the midtones. This modifier ships the histogram for an image.

0W Don't ship histogram (default)

Intelligent Signature Capture - IMGBOX

IMGBOX allows you to configure the size and location of a signature capture area relative to its proximity to a bar code. This allows you to tailor a signature capture area to a specific form. In order to use IMGBOX, you need a set form where the signature box location is in a known location relative to a bar code. You can input the overall size of the signature area, as well as specify how far the signature area is from the bar code, vertically and horizontally. You can also set the resolution and file format for the final output of the signature capture image.

Note: IMGBOX commands can only be triggered by one of the following types of bar codes: PDF417, Code 39, Code 128, Aztec, Codabar, and Interleaved 2 of 5. Once one of these symbologies has been read, the image is retained for a possible IMGBOX command.

Signature Capture Optimize

If you will be using your scanner to capture signatures frequently, you should optimize it for this purpose. However, the speed of scanning bar codes may be slowed when this mode is enabled. Default = Off.

* Optimize Off

Below is an example of a signature capture application. In this example, the signature capture area is centered in the center of the Solaris 7980g window. A single beep is emitted, indicating that the scanner has read a Code 128 bar code and the data has been transferred to the host. An IMGBOX command may now be sent from the host to specify the coordinates of the signature capture area below that code, and indicating that only that area containing the signature should be transferred as an image to the host.

To see this example, align the signature area (not with the bar code) to the center of the window

HONEYWELL 7980G-2KBWC-0 - Signature Capture Optimize - 3

Signature Capture Area

Send the following IMGBOX command string after the good read:

Example: IMGBOX245w37h55y.

Note: Case is not important in the command string. It is used here only for clarity.

The following image is captured:

Signature Capture Area

The IMGBOX commands have many different modifiers that can be used to change the size and appearance of the signature image output by the scanner. Modifiers affect the image that is transmitted, but do not affect the image in memory. Any number of modifiers may be appended to the IMGBOX command.

Note: The IMGBOX command will return a NAK unless a window size (width and height) are specified. See H - Height of Signature Capture Area (page 9-12) and W - Width of Signature Capture Area (page 9-13).

IMGBOX Modifiers

A - Output Image Width

This option is used to size the image horizontally. If using this option, set the resolution (R) to zero.

Example of Image Width set to 200A:

HONEYWELL 7980G-2KBWC-0 - A - Output Image Width - 1

Example of Image Width set to 600A:

Signature Capture Area

B - Output Image Height

This option is used to size the image vertically. If using this option, set the resolution (R) to zero.

Example of Image Height set to 50B:

Signature Capture Area

Example of Image Height set to 100B:

Signature Capture Area

D - Pixel Depth

This indicates the number of bits per pixel in the transmitted image, which defines whether it will be grayscale or black and white.

8D 8 bits per pixel, grayscale image (default)

1D 1 bit per pixel, black and white image

F - File Format

This option indicates the type of file format in which to save the image.

OF KIM format

1F TIFF binary

2F TIFF binary group 4, compressed

3F TIFF grayscale

4F Uncompressed Binary

5F Uncompressed grayscale

6F JPEG image (default)

7F Outlined image

8F BMP format

H - Height of Signature Capture Area

The height of the signature capture area must be measured in inches divided by .01. In the example, the height of the area to be captured is 3/8 inch, resulting in a value of H = .375 / 0.01 = 37.5 .

Example: IMGBOX245w37h55y.

K - Gamma Correction

Gamma measures the brightness of midtone values produced by the image. You can brighten or darken an image using gamma correction. A higher gamma correction yields an overall brighter image. The lower the setting, the darker the image. The optimal setting for text images is 50K.

0K Gamma correction off (default)

50K Apply gamma correction for brightening typical document image

nK Apply gamma correction factor n (n = 1-255)

Example of Gamma Correction set to 0K:

HONEYWELL 7980G-2KBWC-0 - K - Gamma Correction - 1

Example of Gamma Correction set to 50K:

HONEYWELL 7980G-2KBWC-0 - K - Gamma Correction - 2

Example of Gamma Correction set to 255K:

HONEYWELL 7980G-2KBWC-0 - K - Gamma Correction - 3

R - Resolution of Signature Capture Area

The resolution is the number of pixels that the scanner outputs per each minimum bar width. The higher the value for R, the higher the quality of the image, but also the larger the file size. Values begin at 1000. The scanner automatically inserts a decimal point between the first and second digit. For example, use 2500 to specify a resolution of 2.5. Set to zero when using the A and B modifiers (see A - Output Image Width and B - Output Image Height on page 9-12).

Example of Resolution set to 0R:

Signature Capture Area

Example of Resolution set to 1000R:

HONEYWELL 7980G-2KBWC-0 - R - Resolution of Signature Capture Area - 2

Example of Resolution set to 2000R:

Signature Capture Area

S - Bar Code Aspect Ratio

All dimensions used in IMGBOX are measured as multiples of the minimum element size of the bar code. The bar code aspect ratio allows you to set the ratio of the bar code height to the narrow element width. In the example, the narrow element width is .010 inches and the bar code height is 0.400 inches, resulting in a value of S = 0.4/0.01 = 40.

W - Width of Signature Capture Area

The width of the signature capture area must be measured in inches divided by .01. In the example, the width of the area to be captured is 2.4 inches, resulting in a value of W = 2.4/0.01 = 240. (A value of 245 was used in the example to accommodate a slightly wider image area.)

Example: IMGBOX245w37h55y.

X - Horizontal Bar Code Offset

The horizontal bar code offset allows you to offset the horizontal center of the signature capture area. Positive values move the horizontal center to the right and negative values to the left. Measurements are in multiples of the minimum bar width.

Example of Horizontal Offset set to 75X:

HONEYWELL 7980G-2KBWC-0 - X - Horizontal Bar Code Offset - 1

Example of Horizontal Offset set to -75X:

HONEYWELL 7980G-2KBWC-0 - X - Horizontal Bar Code Offset - 2

Y - Vertical Bar Code Offset

The vertical bar code offset allows you to offset the vertical center of the signature capture area. Negative numbers indicate that the signature capture is above the bar code, and positive numbers indicate that the area is below the bar code. Measurements are in multiples of the minimum bar width.

Example of Vertical Offset set to -7Y:

HONEYWELL 7980G-2KBWC-0 - Y - Vertical Bar Code Offset - 1

Example of Vertical Offset set to 65Y:

HONEYWELL 7980G-2KBWC-0 - Y - Vertical Bar Code Offset - 2

EZConfig-Scanning Introduction

EZConfig-Scanning provides a wide range of PC-based programming functions that can be performed on a scanner connected to your PC. EZConfig-Scanning allows you to download upgrades to the scanner's firmware, change programmed parameters, and create and print programming bar codes. Using EZConfig-Scanning, you can even save/open the programming parameters for a scanner. This saved file can be e-mailed or, if required, you can create a single bar code that contains all the customized programming parameters and mail or fax that bar code to any location. Users in other locations can scan the bar code to load in the customized programming.

EZConfig-Scanning Operations

The EZConfig-Scanning software performs the following operations:

Scan Data

Scan Data allows you to scan bar codes and display the bar code data in a window. Scan Data lets you send serial commands to the scanner and receive scanner response that can be seen in the Scan Data window. The data displayed in the Scan Data window can either be saved in a file or printed.

Configure

Configure displays the programming and configuration data of the scanner. The scanner's programming and configuration data is grouped into different categories. Each category is displayed as a tree item under the "Configure" tree node in the application explorer. When one of these tree nodes is clicked, the right-hand side is loaded with the parameters' form belonging to that particular category. The "Configure" tree option has all the programming and configuration parameters specified for a scanner. You can set or modify these parameters as required. You can later write the modified settings to the scanner, or save them to a dcf file.

Imaging

Imaging provides all the image-related functions that a 2D Scanner can perform. You can capture an image using the current settings, and the image will be displayed in an image window. Images captured from the scanner can be saved to files in different image formats. You can modify the image settings and save the image settings to an INI file, which can be loaded later to capture new images. Imaging also lets you preview the images continuously captured by the scanner.

Resetting the Factory Defaults

HONEYWELL 7980G-2KBWC-0 - Resetting the Factory Defaults - 1

This selection erases all your settings and resets the scanner to the original factory defaults. It also disables all plugins.

If you aren't sure what programming options are in your scanner, or you've changed some options and want to restore the scanner to factory default settings, first scan the Remove Custom Defaults bar code, then scan Activate Defaults. This resets the scanner to the factory default settings.

HONEYWELL 7980G-2KBWC-0 - Resetting the Factory Defaults - 2

Remove Custom Defaults

HONEYWELL 7980G-2KBWC-0 - Resetting the Factory Defaults - 3

DEFAULT.

Activate Defaults

The Menu Commands, beginning on page 12-3 list the factory default settings for each of the commands (indicated by an asterisk (*) on the programming pages).

Serial Programming Commands

The serial programming commands can be used in place of the programming bar codes. Both the serial commands and the programming bar codes will program the scanner. For complete descriptions and examples of each serial programming command, refer to the corresponding programming bar code in this manual.

The device must be set to an RS232 interface (see page 2-1). The following commands can be sent via a PC COM port using terminal emulation software.

Conventions

The following conventions are used for menu and query command descriptions:

parameterA label representing the actual value you should send as part of a command.

[option] An optional part of a command.

{Data} Alternatives in a command.

bold Names of menus, menu commands, buttons, dialog boxes, and windows that appear on the screen.

Menu commands have the following syntax (spaces have been used for clarity only):

Prefix[:Name:] Tag SubTag {Data} [, SubTag {Data}] [; Tag SubTag {Data}] [...] Storage

Prefix Three ASCII characters: SYN M CR (ASCII 22,77,13).

:Name: To send information to the scanner, use :Solaris: The default factory setting for a Solaris scanner is Solaris scanner. This setting is changed by using the BT_NAM command, which accepts alphanumeric values. If the name is not known, a wildcard (*) can be used :*:.

Tag A 3 character case-insensitive field that identifies the desired menu command group. For example, all RS232 configuration settings are identified with a Tag of 232.

SubTag A 3 character case-insensitive field that identifies the desired menu command within the tag group. For example, the SubTag for the RS232 baud rate is BAD.

Data The new value for a menu setting, identified by the Tag and SubTag.

Storage A single character that specifies the storage table to which the command is applied. An exclamation point (!) performs the command's operation on the device's volatile menu configuration table. A period (.) performs the command's operation on the device's non-volatile menu configuration table. Use the non-volatile table only for semi-permanent changes you want saved through a power cycle.

Query Commands

Several special characters can be used to query the device about its settings.

^ What is the default value for the setting(s).

? What is the device's current value for the setting(s).

* What is the range of possible values for the setting(s). (The device's response uses a dash (-) to indicate a continuous range of values. A pipe (I) separates items in a list of non-continuous values.)

:Name: Field Usage (Optional)

This command returns the query information from the scanner.

Tag Field Usage

When a query is used in place of a Tag field, the query applies to the entire set of commands available for the particular storage table indicated by the Storage field of the command. In this case, the SubTag and Data fields should not be used because they are ignored by the device.

SubTag Field Usage

When a query is used in place of a SubTag field, the query applies only to the subset of commands available that match the Tag field. In this case, the Data field should not be used because it is ignored by the device.

Data Field Usage

When a query is used in place of the Data field, the query applies only to the specific command identified by the Tag and SubTag fields.

Concatenation of Multiple Commands

Multiple commands can be issued within one Prefix/Storage sequence. Only the Tag, SubTag, and Data fields must be repeated for each command in the sequence. If additional commands are to be applied to the same Tag, then the new command sequence is separated with a comma (,) and only the SubTag and Data fields of the additional command are issued. If the additional command requires a different Tag field, the command is separated from previous commands by a semicolon (;).

Responses

The device responds to serial commands with one of three responses:

ACK Indicates a good command which has been processed.

ENQ Indicates an invalid Tag or SubTag command.

NAK Indicates the command was good, but the Data field entry was out of the allowable range for this Tag and SubTag combination, e.g., an entry for a minimum message length of 100 when the field will only accept 2 characters.

When responding, the device echoes back the command sequence with the status character inserted directly before each of the punctuation marks (the period, exclamation point, comma, or semicolon) in the command.

Examples of Query Commands

In the following examples, a bracketed notation [ ] depicts a non-displayable response.

Example: What is the range of possible values for Codabar Coding Enable?

Enter: cbrena*.

Response: CBRENA0-1[ACK]

This response indicates that Codabar Coding Enable (CBRENA) has a range of values from 0 to 1 (off and on).

Example: What is the default value for Codabar Coding Enable?

Enter: cbrena^.

Response: CBRENA1[ACK]

This response indicates that the default setting for Codabar Coding Enable (CBRENA) is 1, or on.

Example: What is the device's current setting for Codabar Coding Enable?

Enter: cbrena?.

Response: CBRENA1[ACK]

This response indicates that the device's Codabar Coding Enable (CBRENA) is set to 1, or on.

Example: What are the device's settings for all Codabar selections?

Enter: cbr?.

Response: CBRENA1[ACK],

SSX0[ACK],

CK20[ACK],

CCT1[ACK],

MIN2[ACK],

MAX60[ACK],

DFT[ACK].

This response indicates that the device's Codabar Coding Enable (CBRENA) is set to 1, or on;

the Start/Stop Character (SSX) is set to 0, or Don't Transmit;

the Check Character (CK2) is set to 0, or Not Required;

concatenation (CCT) is set to 1, or Enabled;

the Minimum Message Length (MIN) is set to 2 characters;

the Maximum Message Length (MAX) is set to 60 characters;

and the Default setting (DFT) has no value.

Trigger Commands

You can activate and deactivate the scanner with serial trigger commands. First, the scanner must be put in Manual Trigger Mode by scanning a Manual Trigger Mode bar code (page 3-4), or by sending a serial menu command for triggering (page 3-4). Once the scanner is in serial trigger mode, the trigger is activated and deactivated by sending the following commands:

Activate: SYN T CR

Deactivate: SYN U CR

The scanner scans until a bar code has been read, until the deactivate command is sent, or until the serial time-out has been reached (see "Read Time-Out" on page 3-5 for a description, and the serial command on page 12-8).

Resetting the Custom Defaults

If you want the custom default settings restored to your scanner, scan the Activate Custom Defaults bar code below. This resets the scanner to the custom default settings. If there are no custom defaults, it will reset the scanner to the factory default settings. Any settings that have not been specified through the custom defaults will be defaulted to the factory default settings.

Maintenance and Troubleshooting

Repairs

Repairs and/or upgrades are not to be performed on this product. These services are to be performed only by an authorized service center (see Technical Assistance on page ix).

Maintenance

Your device provides reliable and efficient operation with a minimum of care. Although specific maintenance is not required, the following periodic checks ensure dependable operation:

Cleaning the Scanner

The scanner's housing may be cleaned with a soft cloth or tissue dampened with water (or a mild detergent-water solution.) If a detergent solution is used, rinse with a clean tissue dampened with water only.

Caution:

Do not submerge the scanner in water. The scanner's housing is not watertight.

Do not use abrasive wipes or tissues on the scanner's window – abrasive wipes may scratch the window. Never use solvents (e.g., acetone) on the housing or window – solvents may damage the finish or the window.

Cleaning the Window

Reading performance may degrade if the scanner's window is not clean. If the window is visibly dirty, or if the scanner isn't operating well, clean the window with one of the cleaning solutions listed below.

  • Sani-Cloth ^ HB wipes
  • Sani-Cloth ^® Plus wipes
  • Super Sani-Cloth ^ wipes
    • Isopropyl Alcohol wipes (70%)
    • CaviWipes ^TM
    • V i ^® r256 x
    • 409 ^® Glass and Surface Cleaner
  • Windex ^ Blue
    • C I 8 Bleach ×10%
    • Gentle dish soap and water

Inspecting Cords and Connectors

Inspect the interface cable and connector for wear or other signs of damage. A badly worn cable or damaged connector may interfere with scanner operation. Contact your distributor for information about cable replacement. Cable replacement instructions are on page 14-1.

Replacing Cables in Corded Scanners

The standard interface cable is attached to the scanner with an 10-pin modular connector. When properly seated, the connector is held in the scanner by a flexible retention tab. The interface cable is designed to be field replaceable.

  • Order replacement cables from Honeywell or from an authorized distributor.
  • When ordering a replacement cable, specify the cable part number of the original interface cable.

Replacing an Interface Cable

  1. Turn the power to the host system OFF.
  2. Disconnect the scanner's cable from the terminal or computer.
  3. Remove the back cover.

  1. Pinch the EAS cable jack and gently pull cable from the port. Pull the cable through the back cover.
  2. Follow the steps from Replacing an Interface Cable (see page 14-2) to remove the interface cable.
  3. Replace with the new EAS cable. Insert the connector into the opening and it will click into place.

Troubleshooting a Corded Scanner

The scanner automatically performs self-tests whenever you turn it on. If your scanner is not functioning properly, review the following Troubleshooting Guide to try to isolate the problem.

Is the power on?

If the LED isn't illuminated, check that:

  • The cable is connected properly.
  • The host system power is on (if external power isn't used).

Is the scanner having trouble reading your symbols?

If the scanner isn't reading symbols well, check that the symbols:

  • Aren't smeared, rough, scratched, or exhibiting voids.
  • Aren't coated with frost or water droplets on the surface.
  • Are enabled in the scanner or in the decoder to which the scanner connects.

Is the bar code displayed but not entered?

The bar code is displayed on the host device correctly, but you still have to press a key to enter it (the Enter/Return key or the Tab key, for example).

- You need to program a suffix. Programming a suffix enables the scanner to output the bar code data plus the key you need (such as "CR") to enter the data into your application. Refer to Prefix/Suffix Overview on page 4-1 for further information.

Does the scanner read the bar code incorrectly?

If the scanner reads a bar code, but the data is not displayed correctly on the host screen:

- The scanner may not be programmed for the appropriate terminal interface. For example, you scan "12345" and the host displays "@es%."

Reprogram the scanner with the correct Plug and Play bar code. See Programming the Interface beginning on page 2-1.

- The scanner may not be programmed to output your bar code data properly. For example, you scan "12345" and the host displays "A12345B."

Reprogram the scanner with the proper symbology selections. See Chapter 6.

The scanner won't read your bar code at all.

  1. Scan the sample bar codes in the back of this manual. If the scanner reads the sample bar codes, check that your bar code is readable. Verify that your bar code symbology is enabled (see Chapter 6).

  2. If the scanner still can't read the sample bar codes, scan All Symbologies On, page 6-1.

If you aren't sure what programming options have been set in the scanner, or if you want the factory default settings restored, refer to Resetting the Factory Defaults on page 11-4.

Symbology Charts

Note: "m" represents the AIM modifier character. Refer to International Technical Specification, Symbology Identifiers, for AIM modifier character details.

Prefix/Suffix entries for specific symbologies override the universal (All Symbologies, 99) entry.

Refer to Data Editing beginning on page 4-1 and Data Formatting beginning on page 5-1 for information about using Code ID and AIM ID.

ISO 2022/ISO 646 Character Replacements

Code pages define the mapping of character codes to characters. If the data received does not display with the proper characters, it may be because the bar code being scanned was created using a code page that is different from the one the host program is expecting. If this is the case, select the code page with which the bar codes were created. The data characters should then appear properly.
