Frequently Asked Questions - Symbol DS6607 ZEBRA

How do I connect the Symbol DS6607 to a computer?

The scanner supports SSI, RS-232, and USB interfaces. Connect the appropriate interface cable to the scanner and the host. For USB, the scanner auto-detects and defaults to HID keyboard mode. For RS-232, you may need to program baud rate and other settings via barcode menus.

What types of barcodes can the DS6607 read?

It reads a wide range of 1D codes (UPC/EAN, Code 128, Code 39, Codabar, Interleaved 2 of 5, etc.), 2D codes (PDF417, Data Matrix, QR Code, Maxicode, Aztec), and postal codes (US Postnet, UK Postal, Japan Postal, etc.).

How do I clean the scan window?

Use a tissue moistened with ammonia/water solution. Wipe gently. Do not spray liquids directly into the window or use abrasive materials.

What is the drop specification of the DS6607?

The scanner can withstand multiple 6 ft (1.8 m) drops to concrete.

How do I configure the scanner?

Configuration can be done by scanning programming barcodes from the manual or using the 123Scan PC software. You can set parameters like beeper volume, trigger mode, symbology enable/disable, etc.

What power supply does the DS6607 require?

It requires 5 VDC ±10% with typical current of 220 mA RMS (nominal) and maximum 500 mA. Power can be supplied by the host or an external power supply.

Can the scanner be used hands-free?

Yes, with the optional Intellistand. When the scanner is placed in the stand, it enters hands-free mode and automatically decodes barcodes presented in its field of view.

What should I do if the scanner does not decode a barcode?

Check that the scanner is programmed for the correct barcode type, the symbol is within the aiming pattern, and the scan window is clean. Also ensure the interface cable is secure and the host settings match (baud rate, etc.).

Is the laser safe for eyes?

The scanner uses a Class 2 laser (650 nm). It is safe for incidental exposure but avoid staring directly into the beam.

How do I change the beeper volume?

Scan the appropriate barcode from the manual under Beeper Volume. You can select Low, Medium, or High volume. The default is High.

LED Definitions

In addition to beep sequences, the digital scanner uses a two-color LED to indicate status. Table 2-2 defines LED colors that display during scanning.

Table 2-2 Standard LED Definitions

LED Indication

Off No power is applied to the digital scanner, or the digital scanner is on and ready to scan.

Green A bar code was successfully decoded.

Red A data transmission error or digital scanner malfunction occurred.

Scanning in Hand-Held Mode

Install and program the digital scanner (see Setting Up the Digital Scanner on page 1-2). For assistance, contact the local supplier or Motorola Enterprise Mobility Support.

Scanning with the Digital Scanner

1. Ensure all connections are secure (see the appropriate host chapter.)
2. Aim the digital scanner at the bar code.

Figure 2-2 Scanning in Hand-Held Mode

1. When the digital scanner senses movement, in its default Auto Aim trigger mode, it projects a red laser aiming pattern (shown in Figure 2-3) which allows positioning the bar code or object within the field of view. (To turn off the default Auto Aim trigger mode, see Trigger Mode on page 4-9.)

Figure 2-3 Laser Aiming Pattern

If necessary, the digital scanner turns on its red LEDs to illuminate the target bar code.

1. Center the symbol in any orientation within the aiming pattern. Be sure the entire symbol is within the rectangular area formed by the brackets in the pattern.

    D --> E["Aiming Pattern"]

Figure 2-4 Centering Symbol in Aiming Pattern

1. Hold the trigger until the digital scanner beeps, indicating the bar code is successfully decoded. For more information on beeper and LED definitions, see Table 2-1 and Table 2-2.

This process usually occurs instantaneously. Steps 2 - 4 are repeated on poor quality or difficult bar codes, until the bar code is decoded, the trigger is released, or the Decode Session Timeout is reached.

Aiming

Hold the digital scanner between two and nine inches (depending on symbol density; see Decode Zones on page 2-7) from the symbol, centering the aiming pattern cross hairs on the symbol.

The aiming pattern is smaller when the digital scanner is closer to the symbol and larger when it is farther from the symbol. Scan symbols with smaller bars or elements (mil size) closer to the digital scanner, and those with larger bars or elements (mil size) farther from the digital scanner.

The digital scanner can also read a bar code presented within the aiming pattern but not centered. The top examples in Figure 2-5 show acceptable aiming options, while the bottom examples can not be decoded.

Figure 2-5 Acceptable and Incorrect Aiming

Scanning in Hands-Free Mode

The optional Intellistand adds greater flexibility to scanning operation. When the digital scanner is seated in the stand's "cup," the digital scanner's built-in sensor places the digital scanner in hands-free mode. When the digital scanner is removed from the stand it operates in its normal hand-held mode.

Figure 2-6 Inserting the Digital Scanner in the Intellistand

To operate the digital scanner in the IntelliStand:

1. Ensure the digital scanner is properly connected to the host (see the appropriate host chapter for information on host connections).
2. Insert the digital scanner in the Intellistand by placing the front of the digital scanner into the stand's "cup" (see Figure 2-6).
3. Use the Intellistand's adjustment knobs to adjust the height and angle of the digital scanner.
4. Center the symbol in the aiming pattern. The entire symbol must be within the brackets.
5. Upon successful decode, the digital scanner beeps and the LED turns green. For more information on beeper and LED definitions, see Table 2-1 and Table 2-2.

Chapter 4 User Preferences & Miscellaneous Scanner Options

Introduction

If desired, program the digital scanner to perform various functions, or activate different features. This chapter describes each user preference feature and commonly used bar codes to customize how data is transmitted to the host device.

The digital scanner ships with the settings shown in the Table 4-1 on page 4-3 (also see Appendix A, Standard Default Parameters for all host device and miscellaneous defaults). If the default values suit requirements, programming is not necessary.

To set feature values, scan a single bar code or a short bar code sequence. The settings are stored in non-volatile memory and are preserved even when the digital scanner is powered down.

NOTE Most computer monitors allow scanning the bar codes directly on the screen. When scanning from the screen, be sure to set the document magnification to a level where the bar code can be seen clearly, and bars and/or spaces are not merging.

Select a host type (see each host chapter for specific host information) after the power-up beeps sound. This is only necessary upon the first power-up when connected to a new host.

To return all features to default values, scan the *Set All Defaults on page 4-4. Throughout the programming bar code menus, default values are indicated with asterisks (*).

Scanning Sequence Examples

In most cases, scanning one bar code sets the parameter value. For example, to set the beeper tone to high, scan the High Frequency (beeper tone) bar code listed under Beeper Tone on page 4-5. The digital scanner issues a fast warble beep and the LED turns green, signifying a successful parameter entry.

Other parameters, such as Serial Response Time-Out or Data Transmission Formats, require scanning several bar codes. See these parameter descriptions for this procedure.

Errors While Scanning

Unless otherwise specified, to correct an error during a scanning sequence, just re-scan the correct parameter.

User Preferences and Miscellaneous Scanner Options Parameter Defaults

Table 4-1 lists defaults for user preferences parameters. There are two ways to change the default values:

• Scan the appropriate bar codes in this guide. These new values replace the standard default values in memory. To recall the default parameter values, scan the *Set All Defaults bar code on page 4-4.
• Download data through the device's serial port using SSI. Hexadecimal parameter numbers are shown in this chapter below the parameter title, and options are shown in parenthesis beneath the accompanying bar codes. See the Simple Serial Interface (SSI) Programmer's Guide for detailed instructions for changing parameters using this method.

NOTE See Appendix A, Standard Default Parameters for all user preferences, hosts, symbologies, and miscellaneous default parameters.

Chapter 5 Imaging Preferences

Introduction

If desired, program the digital scanner to perform various functions, or activate different features. This chapter describes imaging preference features and provides the programming bar codes for selecting these features.

The digital scanner ships with the settings shown in the Imaging Preferences Default Table on page 5-2 (also see Appendix A, Standard Default Parameters for all host device and miscellaneous defaults). If the default values suit requirements, programming is not necessary.

To set feature values, scan a single bar code or a short bar code sequence. The settings are stored in non-volatile memory and are preserved even when the digital scanner is powered down.

NOTE Most computer monitors allow scanning the bar codes directly on the screen. When scanning from the screen, be sure to set the document magnification to a level where the bar code can be seen clearly, and bars and/or spaces are not merging.

Select a host type (see each host chapter for specific host information) after the power-up beeps sound. This is only necessary upon the first power-up when connected to a new host.

To return all features to default values, scan Set Default Parameter on page 4-4. Throughout the programming bar code menus, default values are indicated with asterisks (*).

Scanning Sequence Examples

In most cases scanning one bar code sets the parameter value. For example, to disable the decode aiming pattern, scan the Disable Decode Aiming Pattern bar code listed under Decode Aiming Pattern on page 5-5. The digital scanner issues a fast warble beep and the LED turns green, signifying a successful parameter entry.

Other parameters require scanning several bar codes. See these parameter descriptions for this procedure.

Errors While Scanning

Unless otherwise specified, to correct an error during a scanning sequence, just re-scan the correct parameter.

Imaging Preferences Parameter Defaults

Table 5-1 lists the defaults for imaging preferences parameters. There are two ways to change the default values:

• Scan the appropriate bar codes in this guide. These new values replace the standard default values in memory. To recall the default parameter values, scan the *Set All Defaults bar code on page 4-4.
• Download data through the device's serial port using SSI. Hexadecimal parameter numbers are shown in this chapter below the parameter title, and options are shown in parenthesis beneath the accompanying bar codes. See the Simple Serial Interface (SSI) Programmer's Guide for detailed instructions for changing parameters using this method.

Imaging Preferences

The parameters in this chapter control image capture characteristics. Image capture occurs in all modes of operation, including decode, video, and snapshot.

Operational Modes

The digital scanner has three modes of operation:

• Decode Mode
• Snapshot Mode
• Video Mode.

Decode Mode

By default, when you pull the trigger the digital scanner attempts to locate and decode enabled bar codes within its field of view. The digital scanner remains in this mode as long as the trigger is pulled or until a bar code is decoded.

Snapshot Mode

Use Snapshot Mode to capture a high-quality image and transmit it to the host. To temporarily enter this mode scan the Snapshot Mode bar code. While in this mode the digital scanner blinks the green LED at 1-second intervals to indicate it is not in standard operating (decode) mode.

In Snapshot Mode, the digital scanner turns on its laser aiming pattern to highlight the area to be captured in the image. The next trigger pull instructs the digital scanner to capture a high quality image and transmit it to the host. A short time may pass (less than 2 seconds) between when the trigger is pulled and the image is captured as the digital scanner adjusts to the lighting conditions. Hold the digital scanner steady until the image is captured, denoted by a single beep.

If you do not press the trigger within the Snapshot Mode Timeout period, the digital scanner returns to Decode Mode. Use Snapshot Mode Timeout on page 5-8 to adjust this timeout period. The default timeout period is 30 seconds.

To disable the laser aiming pattern during Snapshot Mode, see Snapshot Aiming Pattern on page 5-9.

Video Mode

In this mode the digital scanner behaves as a video camera as long as the trigger is pressed. When the trigger is released, the digital scanner returns to Decode Mode. Scan this bar code to temporarily enter Video Capture Mode.

Snapshot Mode

Video Mode

Decoding Illumination

Parameter # F0h, 2Ah

Selecting Enable Decoding Illumination causes the digital scanner to flash illumination to aid decoding. Select Disable Decoding Illumination to prevent the digital scanner from using decoding illumination.

Enabling illumination usually results in superior images. The effectiveness of the illumination decreases as the distance to the target increases.

*Enable Decoding Illumination (01h)

Disable Decoding Illumination (00h)

Decode Aiming Pattern

Parameter # F0h, 32h

This parameter only applies when in Decode Mode. Select Enable Decode Aiming Pattern to project the aiming pattern during bar code capture, or Disable Decode Aiming Pattern to turn the aiming pattern off.

NOTE With picklist enabled, the decode aiming pattern flashes even when the Decode Aiming Pattern is disabled.

*Enable Decode Aiming Pattern (02h)

Disable Decode Aiming Pattern (00h)

Image Capture Autoexposure

Parameter # F0h, 68h

Select Enable Image Capture Autoexposure to allow the digital scanner to control gain settings and exposure (integration) time to best capture an image for the selected operation mode.

Select Disable Image Capture Autoexposure to manually adjust the gain and exposure time (see the following pages). This option is only recommended for advanced users with difficult image capture situations.

*Enable Image Capture Autoexposure (01h)

Disable Image Capture Autoexposure (00h)

Image Capture Illumination

Parameter # F0h, 69h

Selecting Enable Image Capture Illumination causes the digital scanner to flash on every image capture. Select Disable Image Capture Illumination to prevent the digital scanner from using artificial illumination.

Enabling illumination usually results in superior images. The effectiveness of the illumination decreases as the distance to the target increases.

*Enable Image Capture Illumination (01h)

Disable Image Capture Illumination (00h)

Gain

Parameter # F4h, F0h, A7h

This parameter only applies when Decoding or Image Capture Autoexposure is disabled. Gain is a means of amplifying the raw image data before it is converted into 256 grayscale values. Increasing the gain increases brightness and contrast, but also increases noise (undesired electrical fluctuations in the image) which makes the image less attractive and/or harder to decode.

To set the manual gain, scan the bar code below followed by 3 bar codes from Appendix D, Numeric Bar Codes, in the range of 79 to 127, representing the value.

Set Gain

Exposure Time

Parameter # F4h, F0h, 38h

This parameter is only available when Image Capture Autoexposure is disabled. Exposure time controls the amount of time the digital scanner is allowed to collect light, much like the shutter speed for a camera. Generally, the brighter the environment, the lower the exposure time. Set the manual exposure time to one of the following values: 5 ms, 10 ms, 15 ms, 20 ms, 25 ms, or 30 ms. Increasing the exposure time past 20 ms increases the risk of blurring the image due to hand jitter.

Snapshot Mode Timeout

Parameter # F0h, 43h

This parameter sets the amount of time the digital scanner remains in Snapshot Mode. The digital scanner exits Snapshot Mode when you pull the trigger, or when the Snapshot Mode Timeout elapses. To set this timeout value, scan the bar code below followed by a bar code from Appendix D, Numeric Bar Codes. The default value is 0 which represents 30 seconds; values increment by 30. For example, 1 = 60 seconds, 2 = 90 seconds, etc.

Snapshot Mode Timeout

Snapshot Aiming Pattern

Parameter # F0h, 2Ch

Select Enable Snapshot Aiming Pattern to project the aiming pattern when in Snapshot Mode, or Disable Snapshot Aiming Pattern to turn the aiming pattern off.

*Enable Snapshot Aiming Pattern (01h)

Parameter # F4h, F0h, 3Ch (Left)

Parameter # F4h, F0h, 3Dh (Bottom)

Parameter # F4h, F0h, 3Eh (Right)

If Enable Image Cropping is selected, set the pixel addresses from (0,0) to (639,479) to crop to.

Columns are numbered from 0 to 639, rows from 0 to 479. Specify four values for Top, Left, Bottom, and Right, where Top and Bottom correspond to row pixel addresses, and Left and Right correspond to column pixel addresses. For example, for a 4 row x 8 column image in the extreme bottom-right section of the image, set the following values:

Top = 476, Bottom = 479, Left = 632, Right = 639

To set the pixel address to crop to, scan each Pixel Address bar code followed by three bar codes from Appendix D, Numeric Bar Codes which represent the value. Leading zeros are required, so to enter a value of 3, for example, scan 0, 0, 3.

Top Pixel Address (0 - 479 Decimal)

Left Pixel Address (0 - 639 Decimal)

Bottom Pixel Address (0 - 479 Decimal)

Right Pixel Address (0 - 639 Decimal)

Image Resolution

Parameter # F0h, 2Eh

This option alters image resolution before compression. Multiple pixels are combined to one pixel, resulting in a smaller image containing the original content with reduced resolution.

Select one of the following values:

Resolution Value Uncropped Image Size
Full 640 x 480
1/2 320 x 240
1/3 212 x 160

Chapter 6 SSI Interface

Introduction

This chapter describes how to set up the digital scanner with a Simple Serial Interface (SSI) host. When using SSI, program the digital scanner via bar code menu or SSI host commands.

Throughout the programming bar code menus, default values are indicated with asterisks (*).

NOTE Most computer monitors allow scanning the bar codes directly on the screen. When scanning from the screen, be sure to set the document magnification to a level where the bar code can be seen clearly, and bars and/or spaces are not merging.

Connecting Using Simple Serial Interface

Connect the digital scanner to an SSI host.

Figure 6-1 SSI Host Connection

1. Attach the modular connector of the interface cable to the cable interface port on the digital scanner (see Installing the Interface Cable on page 1-2).
2. Connect the other end of the interface cable to the serial port on the host.
3. Connect the power supply to the serial connector end of the interface cable. Plug the power supply into an appropriate outlet.
4. Scan the appropriate baud rate bar code from Baud Rate on page 6-4 that matches the host's baud rate setting.
5. To modify any other parameter options, scan the appropriate bar codes in this chapter.

Simple Serial Interface Default Parameters

Table 6-1 lists the defaults for the SSI host. There are two ways to change the default values:

• Scan the appropriate bar codes in this guide. These new values replace the standard default values in memory. To recall the default parameter values, scan the *Set All Defaults bar code on page 4-4.
• Download data through the device's serial port using SSI. Hexadecimal parameter numbers are shown in this chapter below the parameter title, and options are shown in parenthesis beneath the accompanying bar codes. See the Simple Serial Interface (SSI) Programmer's Guide for detailed instructions for changing parameters using this method.

NOTE See Appendix A, Standard Default Parameters for all user preferences, hosts, symbologies, and miscellaneous default parameters.

Table 6-1 SSI Default Table

Parameter	Parameter Number	Default	Page Number
Baud Rate 9Ch 9600			6-4
Parity 9Eh None			6-6
Check Parity 97h Enable			6-7
Software Handshaking 9Fh ACK/NAK			6-7
Host RTS Line State 9Ah Low			6-8
Decode Data Packet Format EEh	Send Raw Decode Data		6-8
Stop Bits	9Dh 1		6-9
Host Serial Response Time-out	9Bh 2 sec		6-10

Event Reporting
Decode Event	F0h 00h	Disable	6-14
Boot Up Event	F0h 02h	Disable	6-15
Parameter Event	F0h 03h	Disable	6-15

NOTE SSI interprets Prefix, Suffix1, and Suffix2 values listed in Table A-1 on page A-1 differently than other interfaces. SSI does not recognize key categories, only the 3-digit decimal value. The default value of 7013 is interpreted as CR only.

SSI Host Parameters

Baud Rate

Parameter # 9Ch

Baud rate is the number of bits of data transmitted per second. Set the digital scanner's baud rate to match the data rate setting of the host device. Otherwise, data may not reach the host or may reach it in distorted form.

To enable the SSI host, scan the appropriate baud rate bar code that matches the baud rate setting of the host device.

Baud Rate (continued)

Parity

Parameter # 9Eh

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

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

Check Parity

Parameter # 97h

Select whether or not to check the parity of received characters. Use the Parity parameter to select the type of parity.

*Check Parity (01h)

Do Not Check Parity (00h)

Software Handshaking

Parameter # 9Fh

This parameter offers control of the data transmission process in addition to that offered by hardware handshaking. Hardware handshaking is always enabled and cannot be disabled by the user.

• Disable ACK/NAK Handshaking: When this option is selected, the decoder neither generates nor expects ACK/NAK handshaking packets.
• Enable ACK/NAK Handshaking: When this option is selected, after transmitting data, the digital scanner expects either an ACK or NAK response from the host. The digital scanner also ACKs or NAKs messages from the host.

The digital scanner waits up to the programmable Host Serial Response Time-out to receive an ACK or NAK. If the digital scanner does not get a response in this time, it resends its data up to two times before discarding the data and declaring a transmit error.

Disable ACK/NAK (00h)

*Enable ACK/NAK (01h)

Host RTS Line State

Parameter # 9Ah

This parameter sets the expected idle state of the Serial Host RTS line.

The SSI Interface is used with host applications which also implement the SSI protocol. However, the digital scanner can be used in a "scan-and-transmit" mode to communicate with any standard serial communication software on a host PC (see Decode Data Packet Format on page 6-8). If transmission errors occur in this mode, the host PC may be asserting hardware handshaking lines which interfere with the SSI protocol. Scan the Host: RTS High bar code to address this problem.

*Host: RTS Low (00h)

Host: RTS High (01h)

Decode Data Packet Format

Parameter # EEh

This parameter selects whether to transmit decoded data in raw format (unpacketed), or with the packet format defined by the serial protocol.

Selecting the raw format disables ACK/NAK handshaking for decode data.

*Send Raw Decode Data (00h)

Send Packeted Decode Data (01h)

Stop Bit Select

Parameter # 9Dh

The stop bit(s) at the end of each transmitted character marks the end of transmission of one character and prepares the receiving (host) device for the next character in the serial data stream. Set the number of stop bits (one or two) to match host device requirements.

*1 Stop Bit (01h)

2 Stop Bits (02h)

Host Serial Response Time-out

Parameter # 9Bh

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

To set the delay period (options are 2, 5, 7.5, or 9,9 seconds), scan one of the following bar codes.

NOTE Other values are available via SSI command.

*Low - 2 Seconds (14h)

Medium - 5 Seconds (32h)

High - 7.5 Seconds (4Bh)

Maximum - 9.9 Seconds (63h)

Host Character Time-out

Parameter # EFh

This parameter determines the maximum time the decoder waits between characters transmitted by the host before discarding the received data and declaring an error.

To set the delay period (options are 200, 500, 750, or 990 ms), scan one of the following bar codes.

NOTE Other values are available via SSI command.

*Low - 200 ms (0Ah)

Medium - 500 ms (32h)

High - 750 ms (4Bh)

Maximum - 990 ms (63h)

Multipacket Option

Parameter # F0h, 4Eh

This parameter controls ACK/NAK handshaking for multi-packet transmissions.

• Multi-Packet Option 1: The host sends an ACK / NAK for each data packet during a multi-packet transmission.
• Multi-Packet Option 2: The digital scanner sends data packets continuously, with no ACK/NAK handshaking to pace the transmission. The host, if overrun, can use hardware handshaking to temporarily delay digital scanner transmissions. At the end of transmission, the digital scanner waits for a CMD_ACK or CMD_NAK.
• Multi-Packet Option 3: Option 3 is the same as option 2 with the addition of a programmable interpacket delay.

*Multipacket Option 1 (00h)

Multipacket Option 2 (01h)

Multipacket Option 3 (02h)

Interpacket Delay

Parameter # F0h, 4Fh

This parameter specifies the interpacket delay when Multipacket Option 3 is selected.

To set the delay period (options are 0, 25, 50, 75, or 99 ms), scan one of the following bar codes.

NOTE Other values are available via SSI command.

*Minimum - 0 ms (00h)

Low - 25 ms (19h)

Medium - 50 ms (32h)

High - 75 ms (4Bh)

Maximum - 99 ms (63h)

Event Reporting

The host can request the digital scanner to provide certain information (events) relative to the digital scanner's behavior. Enable or disable the events listed in Table 6-2 and on the following pages by scanning the appropriate bar codes.

Table 6-2 Event Codes

Event Class Event		Code Reported
Decode Event Non parameter decode 0x01
Boot Up Event System power-up 0x03
Parameter Event Parameter entry error		0x07

When enabled, the digital scanner generates a message to the host whenever a bar code is successfully decoded. When disabled, no notification is sent.

Enable Decode Event (01h)

*Disable Decode Event (00h)

Boot Up Event

Parameter # F0h, 02h

When enabled, the digital scanner generates a message to the host whenever power is applied. When disabled, no notification is sent.

Enable Boot Up Event (01h)

*Disable Boot Up Event (00h)

Parameter Event

Parameter # F0h, 03h

When enabled, the digital scanner generates a message to the host when one of the events specified in Table 6-2 on page 6-14 occurs. When disabled, no notification is sent.

Enable Parameter Event (01h)

*Disable Parameter Event (00h)

Chapter 7 RS-232 Interface

Introduction

This chapter describes how to set up the digital scanner with an RS-232 host. The RS-232 interface is used to connect the digital scanner to point-of-sale devices, host computers, or other devices with an available RS-232 port (e.g., com port).

If the host is not listed in Table 7-2, refer to the documentation for the host device to set communication parameters to match the host.

NOTE The digital scanner uses TTL RS-232 signal levels, which interface with most system architectures. For system architectures requiring RS-232C signal levels, Motorola offers different cables providing TTL-to-RS-232C conversion. Contact Motorola Enterprise Mobility Support for more information.

Throughout the programming bar code menus, default values are indicated with asterisks (*).

* Indicates Default —* Baud Rate 57,600 — Feature/Option

NOTE Most computer monitors allow scanning the bar codes directly on the screen. When scanning from the screen, be sure to set the document magnification to a level where the bar code can be seen clearly, and bars and/or spaces are not merging.

Connecting an RS-232 Interface

This connection is made directly from the digital scanner to the host computer.

Figure 7-1 RS-232 Direct Connection

NOTE Interface cables vary depending on configuration. The connectors illustrated in Figure 7-1 are examples only. The connectors may be different than those illustrated, but the steps to connect the scanner remain the same.

1. Attach the modular connector of the RS-232 interface cable to the cable interface port on the digital scanner (see Installing the Interface Cable on page 1-2).
2. Connect the other end of the RS-232 interface cable to the serial port on the host.
3. Connect the power supply to the serial connector end of the RS-232 interface cable. Plug the power supply into an appropriate outlet.
4. Select the RS-232 host type by scanning the appropriate bar code from RS-232 Host Types on page 7-6.
5. To modify any other parameter options, scan the appropriate bar codes in this chapter.

*Scanning Enable RS-232 (No Variant) activates the RS-232 driver, but does not change port settings (e.g., parity, data bits, handshaking). Selecting another RS-232 host type bar code changes these settings.

RS-232 Host Types (continued)

Baud Rate

Baud rate is the number of bits of data transmitted per second. Set the digital scanner's baud rate to match the baud rate setting of the host device. Otherwise, data may not reach the host device or may reach it in distorted form.

Baud Rate (continued)

*Baud Rate 9600

Baud Rate 19,200

Baud Rate 38,400

Baud Rate 57,600

Baud Rate 115,200

Parity

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

• 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.
• Select None when no parity bit is required.

Stop Bit Select

The stop bit(s) at the end of each transmitted character marks the end of transmission of one character and prepares the receiving device for the next character in the serial data stream. The number of stop bits selected (one or two) depends on the number the receiving terminal is programmed to accommodate. Set the number of stop bits to match host device requirements.

*1 Stop Bit

2 Stop Bits

Data Bits

This parameter allows the digital scanner to interface with devices requiring a 7-bit or 8-bit ASCII protocol.

7-Bit

*8-Bit

Check Receive Errors

Select whether or not the parity, framing, and overrun of received characters are checked. The parity value of received characters is verified against the parity parameter selected above.

*Check For Received Errors

Do Not Check For Received Errors

Hardware Handshaking

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).

If Standard RTS/CTS handshaking is not selected, scan data is transmitted as it becomes available. If Standard RTS/CTS handshaking is selected, scan data is transmitted according to the following sequence:

• The digital scanner reads the CTS line for activity. If CTS is asserted, the digital scanner waits up to Host Serial Response Time-out for the host to de-assert the CTS line. If, after Host Serial Response Time-out (default), the CTS line is still asserted, the digital scanner sounds a transmit error, and any scanned data is lost.
• When the CTS line is de-asserted, the digital scanner asserts the RTS line and waits up to Host Serial Response Time-out for the host to assert CTS. When the host asserts CTS, data is transmitted. If, after Host Serial Response Time-out (default), the CTS line is not asserted, the digital scanner sounds a transmit error, and discards the data.
• When data transmission is complete, the digital scanner de-asserts RTS 10 msec after sending the last character.
• The host should respond by negating CTS. The digital scanner checks for a de-asserted CTS upon the next transmission of data.

During the transmission of data, the CTS line should be asserted. If CTS is deasserted for more than 50 ms between characters, the transmission is aborted, the digital scanner sounds a transmission error, and the data is discarded.

If the above communication sequence fails, the digital scanner issues an error indication. In this case, the data is lost and must be rescanned.

If Hardware Handshaking and Software Handshaking are both enabled, Hardware Handshaking takes precedence.

NOTE The DTR signal is jumpered to the active state.

• None: Scan the bar code below if no Hardware Handshaking is desired.
• Standard RTS/CTS: Scan the bar code below to select Standard RTS/CTS Hardware Handshaking.
• RTS/CTS Option 1: When RTS/CTS Option 1 is selected, the digital scanner asserts RTS before transmitting and ignores the state of CTS. The digital scanner de-asserts RTS when the transmission is complete.

- RTS/CTS Option 2: When Option 2 is selected, RTS is always high or low (user-programmed logic level). However, the digital scanner waits for CTS to be asserted before transmitting data. If CTS is not asserted within Host Serial Response Time-out (default), the digital scanner issues an error indication and discards the data.

- RTS/CTS Option 3: When Option 3 is selected, the digital scanner asserts RTS prior to any data transmission, regardless of the state of CTS. The digital scanner waits up to Host Serial Response Time-out (default) for CTS to be asserted. If CTS is not asserted during this time, the digital scanner issues an error indication and discards the data. The digital scanner de-asserts RTS when transmission is complete.

Hardware Handshaking (continued)

*None

Standard RTS/CTS

RTS/CTS Option 1

RTS/CTS Option 2

RTS/CTS Option 3

Software Handshaking

This parameter offers control of the data transmission process in addition to, or instead of, that offered by hardware handshaking. There are five options.

If Software Handshaking and Hardware Handshaking are both enabled, Hardware Handshaking takes precedence.

• None: When this option is selected, data is transmitted immediately. No response is expected from host.
• ACK/NAK: When this option is selected, after transmitting data, the digital scanner expects either an ACK or NAK response from the host. When a NAK is received, the digital scanner transmits the same data again and waits for either an ACK or NAK. After three unsuccessful attempts to send data when NAKs are received, the digital scanner issues an error indication and discards the data.

The digital scanner waits up to the programmable Host Serial Response Time-out to receive an ACK or NAK. If the digital scanner does not get a response in this time, it issues an error indication and discards the data. There are no retries when a time-out occurs.

• ENQ: When this option is selected, the digital scanner waits for an ENQ character from the host before transmitting data. If an ENQ is not received within the Host Serial Response Time-out, the digital scanner issues an error indication and discards the data. The host must transmit an ENQ character at least every Host Serial Response Time-out to prevent transmission errors.
• ACK/NAK with ENQ: This combines the two previous options. For re-transmissions of data, due to a NAK from the host, an additional ENQ is not required.

• XON/XOFF: An XOFF character turns the digital scanner transmission off until the digital scanner receives an XON character. There are two situations for XON/XOFF:

• XOFF is received before the digital scanner has data to send. When the digital scanner has data to send, it waits up to Host Serial Response Time-out for an XON character before transmission. If the XON is not received within this time, the digital scanner issues an error indication and discards the data.

• XOFF is received during a transmission. Data transmission then stops after sending the current byte. When the digital scanner receives an XON character, it sends the rest of the data message. The digital scanner waits indefinitely for the XON.

Software Handshaking (continued)

*None

ACK/NAK

ENQ

ACK/NAK with ENQ

XON/XOFF

Host Serial Response Time-out

This parameter specifies how long the digital scanner waits for an ACK, NAK, or CTS before determining that a transmission error has occurred. This only applies when in one of the ACK/NAK Software Handshaking modes, or RTS/CTS Hardware Handshaking option.

*Minimum: 2 Sec

Low: 2.5 Sec

Medium: 5 Sec

High: 7.5 Sec

Maximum: 9.9 Sec

RTS Line State

This parameter sets the idle state of the Serial Host RTS line. Scan a bar code below to select Low RTS or High RTS line state.

*Host: Low RTS

Host: High RTS

Beep on

When this parameter is enabled, the digital scanner issues a beep when a character is detected on the RS-232 serial line. is issued to gain a user's attention to an illegal entry or other important event.

Beep On Character (Enable)

*Do Not Beep On Character (Disable)

Intercharacter Delay

This parameter specifies the intercharacter delay inserted between character transmissions.

*Minimum: 0 msec

Low: 25 msec

Medium: 50 msec

High: 75 msec

Maximum: 99 msec

Nixdorf Beep/LED Options

When Nixdorf Mode B is selected, this indicates when the digital scanner should beep and turn on its LED after a decode.

*Normal Operation (Beep/LED immediately after decode)

Beep/LED After Transmission

Beep/LED After CTS Pulse

Ignore Unknown Characters

Unknown characters are characters the host does not recognize. When Send Bar Codes with Unknown Characters is selected, all bar code data is sent except for unknown characters, and no error beeps sound on the digital scanner. When Do Not Send Bar Codes With Unknown Characters is selected, bar code data is sent up to the first unknown character and then an error beep will sound on the digital scanner.

*Send Bar Code (with unknown characters)

Do Not Send Bar Codes (with unknown characters)

Chapter 8 USB Interface

Introduction

This chapter describes how to set up the digital scanner with a USB host. The digital scanner connects directly to a USB host, or a powered USB hub, and is powered by it. No additional power supply is required.

Throughout the programming bar code menus, default values are indicated with asterisks (*).

*Indicates Default — *North American Standard USB Keyboard — Feature/Option

NOTE Most computer monitors allow scanning the bar codes directly on the screen. When scanning from the screen, be sure to set the document magnification to a level where the bar code can be seen clearly, and bars and/or spaces are not merging.

Connecting a USB Interface

Figure 8-1 USB Connection

The digital scanner connects with USB-capable hosts including:

• Desktop PCs and notebooks
• Apple™ iMac, G4, iBooks (North America only)
• IBM SurePOS terminals
- Sun, IBM, and other network computers that support more than one keyboard.

The following operating systems support the digital scanner through USB:

• Windows® 98, 2000, ME, XP
  • MacOS 8.5 and above
• IBM 4690 OS.

The digital scanner also interfaces with other USB hosts which support USB Human Interface Devices (HID). For more information on USB technology, hosts, and peripheral devices, visit www.symbol.com/usb.

To set up the digital scanner:

NOTE Interface cables vary depending on configuration. The connectors illustrated in Figure 8-1 are examples only. The connectors may be different than those illustrated, but the steps to connect the scanner remain the same.

1. Connect the modular connector of the USB interface cable to the cable interface port on the digital scanner (see Installing the Interface Cable on page 1-2).
2. Plug the series A connector in the USB host or hub, or plug the Plus Power connector in an available port of the IBM SurePOS terminal.

3. Select the USB device type by scanning the appropriate bar code from USB Device Type on page 8-4.

4. On first installation when using Windows, the software prompts to select or install the Human Interface Device driver. To install this driver, provided by Windows, click Next through all the choices and click Finished on the last choice. The digital scanner powers up during this installation.

5. To modify any other parameter options, scan the appropriate bar codes in this chapter.

Chapter 9 123Scan

Introduction

123Scan is a Windows ^® -based utility that programs the digital scanner with all parameters including Advanced Data Formatting (ADF) Rules. An ADF rule modifies bar code data before it is sent to the host to ensure compatibility between bar coded data and the host application. Digital scanners can be programmed via PC download or by scanning a sheet of bar codes generated by the utility. Digital scanner programming is saved in a file for electronic distribution. The 123Scan program includes a help file.

Communication with 123Scan

To communicate with the 123Scan program which runs on a host computer running a Windows operating system, use an RS-232 cable to connect the digital scanner to the host computer (see Connecting an RS-232 Interface on page 7-2).

123Scan Requirements:

• Host computer with Windows 98, Windows NT, Windows 2000, or Windows XP
• Digital scanner
• RS-232 cable.

123Scan Parameter

To communicate with the 123Scan program, load 123Scan, included in the documentation CD-ROM, onto the host computer, and scan the bar code below. Refer to 123Scan instructions for programming the digital scanner.

Scan the bar code below to enable the 123Scan interface on the digital scanner.

123Scan Configuration

Chapter 10 Symbologies

Introduction

This chapter describes symbology features and provides the programming bar codes for selecting these features. Before programming, follow the instructions in Chapter 1, Getting Started.

To set feature values, scan a single bar code or a short bar code sequence. The settings are stored in non-volatile memory and are preserved even when the digital scanner is powered down.

NOTE Most computer monitors allow scanning the bar codes directly on the screen. When scanning from the screen, be sure to set the document magnification to a level where the bar code can be seen clearly, and bars and/or spaces are not merging.

Select a host type (see each host chapter for specific host information) after the power-up beeps sound. This is only necessary upon the first power-up when connected to a new host.

To return all features to default values, scan *Set All Defaults on page 4-4. Throughout the programming bar code menus, default values are indicated with asterisks (*).

Scanning Sequence Examples

In most cases, scanning one bar code sets the parameter value. For example, to transmit bar code data without the UPC-A check digit, simply scan the Do Not Transmit UPC-A Check Digit bar code under Transmit UPC-A Check Digit on page 10-14. The digital scanner issues a fast warble beep and the LED turns green, signifying a successful parameter entry.

Other parameters, such as Set Length(s) for D 2 of 5 require scanning several bar codes. See the individual parameter, such as Set Length(s) for D 2 of 5, for this procedure.

Errors While Scanning

Set Lengths for Code 39

Parameter # L1 = 12h, L2 = 13h

The length of a code refers to the number of characters (i.e., human readable characters), including check digit(s) the code contains. Set lengths for Code 39 to any length, one or two discrete lengths, or lengths within a specific range. If Code 39 Full ASCII is enabled, Length Within a Range or Any Length are the preferred options.

NOTE When setting lengths for different bar code types by scanning single digit numbers, single digit numbers must always be preceded by a leading zero.

• One Discrete Length - Select this option to decode only Code 39 symbols containing a selected length. Select the length using the numeric bar codes in Appendix D, Numeric Bar Codes. For example, to decode only Code 39 symbols with 14 characters, scan Code 39 - One Discrete Length, then scan 1 followed by 4. To correct an error or change the selection, scan Cancel on page D-3.
• Two Discrete Lengths - Select this option to decode only Code 39 symbols containing either of two selected lengths. Select lengths using the numeric bar codes in Appendix D, Numeric Bar Codes. For example, to decode only those Code 39 symbols containing either 2 or 14 characters, select Code 39 - Two Discrete Lengths, then scan 0, 2, 1, and then 4. To correct an error or change the selection, scan Cancel on page D-3.
• Length Within Range - Select this option to decode a Code 39 symbol with a specific length range. Select lengths using numeric bar codes in Appendix D, Numeric Bar Codes. For example, to decode Code 39 symbols containing between 4 and 12 characters, first scan Code 39 - Length Within Range. Then scan 0, 4, 1, and 2 (single digit numbers must always be preceded by a leading zero). To correct an error or change the selection, scan Cancel on page D-3.
• Any Length - Select this option to decode Code 39 symbols containing any number of characters within the digital scanner capability.

Only Code 39 symbols which include a modulo 43 check digit are decoded. Enable this feature if the Code 39 symbols contain a Modulo 43 check digit.

Enable Code 39 Check Digit (01h)

*Disable Code 39 Check Digit (00h)

Transmit Code 39 Check Digit

Parameter # 2Bh

Scan a bar code below to transmit Code 39 data with or without the check digit.

Transmit Code 39 Check Digit (Enable) (01h)

*Do Not Transmit Code 39 Check Digit (Disable) (00h)

NOTE Code 39 Check Digit Verification must be enabled for this parameter to function.

Code 39 Full ASCII Conversion

Parameter # 11h

Code 39 Full ASCII is a variant of Code 39 which pairs characters to encode the full ASCII character set. To enable or disable Code 39 Full ASCII, scan the appropriate bar code below.

Enable Code 39 Full ASCII (01h)

*Disable Code 39 Full ASCII (00h)

NOTE Trioptic Code 39 and Code 39 Full ASCII cannot be enabled simultaneously.

Code 39 Full ASCII to Full ASCII Correlation is host-dependent, and is therefore described in the ASCII Character Set Table for the appropriate interface. See the ASCII Character Set for USB on page 8-13 or the ASCII Character Set for RS-232 on page 7-20.

Code 39 Buffering (Scan & Store)

Parameter # 71h

This feature allows the digital scanner to accumulate data from multiple Code 39 symbols.

Selecting the Scan and Store option (Buffer Code 39) temporarily buffers all Code 39 symbols having a leading space as a first character for later transmission. The leading space is not buffered.

Decode of a valid Code 39 symbol with no leading space causes transmission in sequence of all buffered data in a first-in first-out format, plus transmission of the "triggering" symbol. See the following pages for further details.

When the Do Not Buffer Code 39 option is selected, all decoded Code 39 symbols are transmitted immediately without being stored in the buffer.

This feature affects Code 39 only. If selecting Buffer Code 39, we recommend configuring the digital scanner to decode Code 39 symbology only.

Buffer Code 39 (Enable) (01h)

*Do Not Buffer Code 39 (Disable) (00h)

While there is data in the transmission buffer, selecting Do Not Buffer Code 39 is not allowed. The buffer holds 200 bytes of information.

To disable Code 39 buffering when there is data in the transmission buffer, first force the buffer transmission (see Transmit Buffer on page 10-31) or clear the buffer.

Buffer Data

To buffer data, Code 39 buffering must be enabled and a Code 39 symbol must be read with a space immediately following the start pattern.

• Unless the data overflows the transmission buffer, the digital scanner issues a lo/hi beep to indicate successful decode and buffering. (For overflow conditions, see Overfilling Transmission Buffer.)
• The digital scanner adds the decoded data excluding the leading space to the transmission buffer.
  • No transmission occurs.

Clear Transmission Buffer

To clear the transmission buffer, scan the Clear Buffer bar code below, which contains only a start character, a dash (minus), and a stop character.

• The digital scanner issues a short hi/lo/hi beep.
- The digital scanner erases the transmission buffer.
• No transmission occurs.

Clear Buffer

NOTE The Clear Buffer contains only the dash (minus) character. In order to scan this command, be sure Code 39 length is set to include length 1..

Transmit Buffer

There are two methods to transmit the Code 39 buffer.

1. Scan the Transmit Buffer bar code below. Only a start character, a plus (+), and a stop character.

2. The digital scanner transmits and clears the buffer.

3. The digital scanner issues a Lo/Hi beep.

Transmit Buffer

1. Scan a Code 39 bar code with a leading character other than a space.

2. The digital scanner appends new decode data to buffered data.

3. The digital scanner transmits and clears the buffer.
4. The digital scanner signals that the buffer was transmitted with a lo/hi beep.
   • Digital Scanner transmits and clears the buffer.

NOTE The Transmit Buffer contains only a plus (+) character. In order to scan this command, be sure Code 39 length is set to include length 1.

Overfilling Transmission Buffer

The Code 39 buffer holds 200 characters. If the symbol just read results in an overflow of the transmission buffer:

• The digital scanner indicates that the symbol was rejected by issuing three long, high beeps.
• No transmission occurs. The data in the buffer is not affected.

Attempt to Transmit an Empty Buffer

If the symbol just read was the Transmit Buffer symbol and the Code 39 buffer is empty:

• A short lo/hi/lo beep signals that the buffer is empty.
  • No transmission occurs.
  • The buffer remains empty.

Code 93

Set Lengths for Code 93

Parameter # L1 = 1Ah, L2 = 1Bh

The length of a code refers to the number of characters (i.e., human readable characters), including check digit(s) the code contains. Set lengths for Code 93 to any length, one or two discrete lengths, or lengths within a specific range.

Security Level

Parameter # 4Dh

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

• Security Level 0: This setting allows the digital scanner to operate in its most aggressive state, while providing sufficient security in decoding most “in-spec” bar codes.
  • Security Level 1: This default setting should eliminate most misdecodes.
  • Security Level 2: Select this option if Security level 1 fails to eliminate misdecodes.
• Security Level 3: If Security Level 2 was selected and misdecodes still occur, select this security level. Be advised, selecting this option is an extreme measure against mis-decoding severely out of spec bar codes. Selecting this level of security significantly impairs the decoding ability of the digital scanner. If this level of security is necessary, try to improve the quality of the bar codes.

Security Level 0 (00h)

*Security Level 1 (01h)

Security Level 2 (02h)

Security Level 3 (03h)

Intercharacter Gap Size

Parameter # F0h, 7Dh

The Code 39 and Codabar symbologies have an intercharacter gap that is typically quite small. Due to various bar code-printing technologies, this gap can grow larger than the maximum size allowed, preventing the digital scanner from decoding the symbol. If this problem occurs, scan the Large Intercharacter Gaps parameter to tolerate these out-of-specification bar codes.

Macro PDF Features

Macro PDF is a special feature for concatenating multiple PDF symbols into one file. The digital scanner can decode symbols that are encoded with this feature, and can store more than 64 kb of decoded data stored in up to 50 MacroPDF symbols.

CAUTION

When printing, keep each Macro PDF sequence separate, as each sequence has unique identifiers. Do not mix bar codes from several Macro PDF sequences, even if they encode the same data. When scanning Macro PDF sequences, scan the entire Macro PDF sequence without interruption. If, when scanning a mixed sequence, the digital scanner emits two long low beeps (Lo Lo) this indicates an inconsistent file ID or inconsistent symbology error.

Flush Macro Buffer

This flushes the buffer of all decoded Macro PDF data stored to that point, transmits it to the host device, and aborts from Macro PDF mode.

Abort Macro PDF Entry

This clears all currently-stored Macro PDF data in the buffer without transmission and aborts from Macro PDF mode.

Chapter 11 Advanced Data Formatting

Introduction

Advanced Data Formatting (ADF) is a means of customizing data before transmission to the host device. Scan data can be edited to suit particular requirements.

ADF can be implemented through scanning a related series of bar codes, which begin on page 11-6, or by installing the 123Scan utility (see Chapter 9, 123Scan) which allows the digital scanner to be setup and programmed with Advanced Data Formatting (ADF) Rules.

Avoid using ADF formatting with bar codes containing more than 60 characters. To add a prefix or suffix value for such bar codes, use Add Prefix/Suffix setting. Using ADF with longer bar codes transmits the bar code in segments of length 252 or less (depending on the host selected), and applies the rule to each segment

Rules: Criteria Linked to Actions

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

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

Criteria: When scan data is Code 39, length 12, and data at the start position is the string "129",

Actions: pad all sends with zeros to length 8, send all data up to X, send a space.

If a Code 39 bar code of 1299X1559828 is scanned, the following is transmitted: 00001299. If a Code 39 bar code of 1299X15598 is scanned, this rule is ignored because the length criteria has not been met.

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

Using ADF Bar Codes

When programming a rule, make sure the rule is logically correct. Plan ahead before scanning.

To program each data formatting rule:

• Start the Rule. Scan the Begin New Rule bar code on page 11-6.
• Criteria. Scan the bar codes for all pertinent criteria. Criteria can include code type (e.g., Code 128), code length, or data that contains a specific character string (e.g., the digits "129"). These options are described in Criteria on page 11-9.
• Actions. Scan all actions related to, or affecting, these criteria. The actions of a rule specify how to format the data for transmission. These options are described in ADF Bar Code Menu Example on page 11-2.
• Save the Rule. Scan the Save Rule bar code on page 11-6. This places the rule in the “top” position in the rule buffer.
• Some special-purpose bar codes can be useful to correct errors during this process: Erase Criteria and Start Again, Erase Actions and Start Again, Erase Previously Saved Rule, etc.

Criteria, actions, and entire rules may be erased by scanning the appropriate bar code (see page 11-7).

Beeper Definitions on page 2-2 guide through the programming steps.

ADF Bar Code Menu Example

This section provides an example of how ADF rules are entered and used for scan data.

An auto parts distribution center wants to encode manufacturer ID, part number, and destination code into their own Code 128 bar codes. The distribution center also has products that carry UPC bar codes, placed there by the manufacturer. The Code 128 bar codes have the following format:

MMMMPPPPPDD

Where: M = Manufacturer ID

P = Part Number

D = Destination Code

The distribution center uses a PC with dedicated control characters for manufacturer ID , part number , and destination code . At this center the UPC data is treated as manufacturer ID code.

The following rules need to be entered:

When scanning data of code type Code 128, send the next 5 characters, send the manufacturer ID key , send the next 5 characters, send the part number key , send the next 2 characters, send the destination code key .

When scanning data of code type UPC/EAN, send all data, send the manufacturer ID key .

To enter these rules, follow the steps below:

Rule 1: The Code 128 Scanning Rule

5 Save Rule 11-6 High Low High Low

To correct any errors made while entering this rule, scan the Quit Entering Rules bar code on page 11-7. If the rule is already saved, scan the Erase Previously Saved Rule bar code on page 11-7.

Alternate Rule Sets

ADF rules may be grouped into one of four alternate sets which can be turned on and off when needed. This is useful to format the same message in different ways. For example, a Code 128 bar code contains the following information:

Class (2 digits), Stock Number (8) digits, Price (5 digits)

This bar code might look like this:

245671243701500

where:

Class = 24

Stock Number = 56712437

Price = 01500

Ordinarily, data is sent as follows:

24 (class key)

56712437 (stock key)

01500 (enter key)

But, when there is a sale, send only the following:

24 (class key)

56712437 (stock key)

and the cashier will key the price manually.

To implement this, first enter an ADF rule that applies to the normal situation, such as:

Scan Rule Belongs to Set 1. When scanning a bar code of length 15, send the next 2 characters, send the class key, send the next 8 characters, send the stock key, send the data that remains, send the Enter key.

The "sale" rule may look like this:

Scan Rule Belongs to Set 2. When scanning a bar code of length 15, send the next 2 characters, send the class key, send the next 8 characters, send the stock key.

To switch between the two sets of rules, a “switching rule” must be programmed. This rule specifies what type of bar code must be scanned to switch between the rule sets. For example, in the case of the “sale” rule above, the rule programmer wants the cashier to scan the bar code “M” before a sale. To do this, a rule can be entered as follows:

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

Another rule could be programmed to switch back.

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

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

When scanning a bar code of length 15, send the next 2 characters, send the class key, send the next 8 characters, send the stock key, turn off rule set 1.

For optimal results, scan the Disable All Rule Sets bar code on page 11-8 after programming a rule belonging to an alternate rule set.

In addition to enabling and disabling rule sets within the rules, enable or disable them by scanning the appropriate bar codes on page 11-8.

Rules Hierarchy (in Bar Codes)

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

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

Third Rule

Second Rule

First Rule

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

For example, if the THIRD rule states:

When scanning a bar code of any length, send all data, then send the ENTER key.

And the SECOND rule states:

When scanning a Code 128 bar code of length 12, send the first four characters, then send the ENTER key, then send all remaining data.

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

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

These rules reside in the same "rule list" as ADF Rules, so the order of their creation is also important.

Default Rules

Every unit has a default rule to send all scan data. Units with custom software may have one or more default rules burned in. The rules hierarchy checks user programmable rules first, then the default rules. Default rules can be disabled by entering the following general rule in the user programmable buffer:

When receiving scan data, send all data.

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

Special Commands

Pause Duration

This parameter along with the Send Pause parameter on page 11-29 allows a pause to be inserted in the data transmission. Pauses are set by scanning a two-digit number (i.e., two bar codes), and are measured in 0.1 second intervals. For example, scanning bar codes "0" and "1" inserts a 0.1 second pause; "0" and "5" inserts a 0.5 second delay. See Appendix D, Numeric Bar Codes. To correct an error or change a selection, scan Cancel on page D-3.

Glossary

A

Aperture. The opening in an optical system defined by a lens or baffle that establishes the field of view.

API. An interface by means of which one software component communicates with or controls another. Usually used to refer to services provided by one software component to another, usually via software interrupts or function calls

Application Programming Interface. See API.

ASCII. American Standard Code for Information Interchange. A 7 bit-plus-parity code representing 128 letters, numerals, punctuation marks and control characters. It is a standard data transmission code in the U.S.

Autodiscrimination. The ability of an interface controller to determine the code type of a scanned bar code. After this determination is made, the information content is decoded.

B

Bar. The dark element in a printed bar code symbol.

Bar Code. A pattern of variable-width bars and spaces which represents numeric or alphanumeric data in machine-readable form. The general format of a bar code symbol consists of a leading margin, start character, data or message character, check character (if any), stop character, and trailing margin. Within this framework, each recognizable symbology uses its own unique format. See Symbology.

Bar Code Density. The number of characters represented per unit of measurement (e.g., characters per inch).

Bar Height. The dimension of a bar measured perpendicular to the bar width.

Bar Width. Thickness of a bar measured from the edge closest to the symbol start character to the trailing edge of the same bar.

BIOS. Basic Input Output System. A collection of ROM-based code with a standard API used to interface with standard PC hardware.

Bit. Binary digit. One bit is the basic unit of binary information. Generally, eight consecutive bits compose one byte of data. The pattern of 0 and 1 values within the byte determines its meaning.

Bits per Second (bps). Bits transmitted or received.

Boot or Boot-up. The process a computer goes through when it starts. During boot-up, the computer can run self-diagnostic tests and configure hardware and software.

BOOTP. A protocol for remote booting of diskless devices. Assigns an IP address to a machine and may specify a boot file. The client sends a bootp request as a broadcast to the bootp server port (67) and the bootp server responds using the bootp client port (68). The bootp server must have a table of all devices, associated MAC addresses and IP addresses.

bps. See Bits Per Second.

Byte. On an addressable boundary, eight adjacent binary digits (0 and 1) combined in a pattern to represent a specific character or numeric value. Bits are numbered from the right, 0 through 7, with bit 0 the low-order bit. One byte in memory is used to store one ASCII character.

C

CDRH. Center for Devices and Radiological Health. A federal agency responsible for regulating laser product safety. This agency specifies various laser operation classes based on power output during operation.

CDRH Class 1. This is the lowest power CDRH laser classification. This class is considered intrinsically safe, even if all laser output were directed into the eye's pupil. There are no special operating procedures for this class.

CDRH Class 2. No additional software mechanisms are needed to conform to this limit. Laser operation in this class poses no danger for unintentional direct human exposure.

Character. A pattern of bars and spaces which either directly represents data or indicates a control function, such as a number, letter, punctuation mark, or communications control contained in a message.

Character Set. Those characters available for encoding in a particular bar code symbology.

Check Digit. A digit used to verify a correct symbol decode. The scanner inserts the decoded data into an arithmetic formula and checks that the resulting number matches the encoded check digit. Check digits are required for UPC but are optional for other symbologies. Using check digits decreases the chance of substitution errors when a symbol is decoded.

Codabar. A discrete self-checking code with a character set consisting of digits 0 to 9 and six additional characters: (- \$ : / , +).

Code 128. A high density symbology which allows the controller to encode all 128 ASCII characters without adding extra symbol elements.

Code 3 of 9 (Code 39). A versatile and widely used alphanumeric bar code symbology with a set of 43 character types, including all uppercase letters, numerals from 0 to 9 and 7 special characters (- . / + % \$ and space). The code name is derived from the fact that 3 of 9 elements representing a character are wide, while the remaining 6 are narrow.

T

TCP/IP. (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) A communications protocol used to internetwork dissimilar systems. This standard is the protocol of the Internet and has become the global standard for communications. TCP provides transport functions, which ensures that the total amount of bytes sent is received correctly at the other end. UDP is an alternate transport that does not guarantee delivery. It is widely used for real-time voice and video transmissions where erroneous packets are not retransmitted. IP provides the routing mechanism. TCP/IP is a routable protocol, which means that all messages contain not only the address of the destination station, but the address of a destination network. This allows TCP/IP messages to be sent to multiple networks within an organization or around the world, hence its use in the worldwide Internet. Every client and server in a TCP/IP network requires an IP address, which is either permanently assigned or dynamically assigned at startup.

Telnet. A terminal emulation protocol commonly used on the Internet and TCP/IP-based networks. It allows a user at a terminal or computer to log onto a remote device and run a program.

Terminal Emulation. A “terminal emulation” emulates a character-based mainframe session on a remote non-mainframe terminal, including all display features, commands and function keys. The VC5000 Series supports Terminal Emulations in 3270, 5250 and VT220.

Terminate and Stay Resident (TSR). A program under DOS that ends its foreground execution to remain resident in memory to service hardware/software interrupts, providing background operation. It remains in memory and may provide services on behalf of other DOS programs.

TFTP. (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) A version of the TCP/IP FTP (File Transfer Protocol) protocol that has no directory or password capability. It is the protocol used for upgrading firmware, downloading software and remote booting of diskless devices.

Tolerance. Allowable deviation from the nominal bar or space width.

Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. See TCP/IP.

Trivial File Transfer Protocol. See TFTP.

TSR. See Terminate and Stay Resident.

U

UDP. User Datagram Protocol. A protocol within the IP protocol suite that is used in place of TCP when a reliable delivery is not required. For example, UDP is used for real-time audio and video traffic where lost packets are simply ignored, because there is no time to retransmit. If UDP is used and a reliable delivery is required, packet sequence checking and error notification must be written into the applications.

UPC. Universal Product Code. A relatively complex numeric symbology. Each character consists of two bars and two spaces, each of which is any of four widths. The standard symbology for retail food packages in the United States.

v

Visible Laser Diode (VLD). A solid state device which produces visible laser light.
