GENERALITY

Set Default Parameter (factory setting)

When shipped from the factory each barcode scanner is configured with default parameter
values.

PREFIX / SUFFIX

Scan the appropriate bar code below to enable or disable adding the prefix character “A” to all
Code 32 bar codes.

A prefix/suffix may be appended to scan data for use in data editing. These values are set by

scanning a four-digit number (i.e., four bar codes) that corresponds to key codes for various

terminals. See the table for conversion information. Numeric bar codes begin in Appendix. If
you make an error or wish to change your selection, scan Cancel on BAR CODE SETTINGS.

When a barcode is scanned, additional information is sent to the host computer along with the
barcode data. This group of barcode data and additional, user-defined data is called a “Mes
sage String.” The selections in this section are used to build the user-defined data into the mes
sage 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:

Prefix / Suffix characters setting:

Characters defined as prefix or suffix characters will be transmitted immediately with the
scanned data for all symbologies. Up to 11 ASCII characters can be defined for both Prefix
and Suffix.

Tips

• A prefix or suffix may be added or cleared from one symbology or all symbologies.

• You can add any prefix or suffix f, 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, instead of All Symbologies, the symbology ID

value counts as an added prefix or suffix character. Prefix Scanned Data Suffix

RS232 TRANSMISSION

This chapter covers RS-232 host information for setting up your scanner. The RS-232
interface is used to attach the scanner to point-of-sale devices, host computers, or other

devices with an available RS-232 port (e.g., comport).

You need to set the communication parameters to match your host device. To set communi
cation parameters for hosts not listed, refer to the documentation for the host device

Table 6-1 lists the defaults for RS-232 host parameters. If you wish to change any option, scan the

appropriate bar code(s) provided in the Parameter Descriptions section beginning on page 6-5..

Transmission in RS232 active

USB CDC

USB CDC can be used for industrial equipment such as CNC machinery to allow upgrading
from older RS-232 serial controllers and robotics, since they can keep software compatibility.
The device attaches to an RS-232 communications line and the operating system on the USB
side makes the USB device appear as a traditional RS-232 port. Chip manufacturers such as
Prolific Technology, FTDI, Microchip, and Atmel provide facilities for easily developing
USB RS-232 devices.

The data interfaces are generally used to perform bulk data transfer.

Baud Rate

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

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.

Data Bits

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

protocol.

Stop Bit Select

The stop bit(s) at the end of each transmitted character marks the end of transmission of one
character and prepares the receiving device for the next character in the serial data stream. The

number of stop bits selected (one or two) depends on the number the receiving terminal is

programmed to accommodate. Set the number of stop bits to match host device requirements

XON/XOFF

An XOFF character turns the scanner transmission off until the scanner receives an XON

character.

There are two situations for XON/XOFF:

• XOFF is received before the scanner has data to send. When the scanner has data to

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

• XOFF is received during a transmission. Data transmission then stops after sending
the current byte. When the scanner receives an XON character, it sends the rest of the data
message. The scanner waits up to 30 seconds for the XON.

Standard RTS\CTS

If the scanner wants to send the barcode data to host computer, it will issue the RTS signal
first, wait for the CTS signal from the host computer, and then perform the normal data
communication. If there is no replied CTS signal from the host computer after the timeout

(Response Delay) duration, the scanner halts transmission until it detects another active CTS

signal.

Scan the bar code below to select Standard RTS\CTS Hardware Handshaking.

ENQ

When this option is selected, the scanner waits for an ENQ character from the host before

transmitting data. If an ENQ is not received within the Host Serial Response Time-out, the
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.

* Enquiry character from Host not actived Enquiry character from Host actived

* Enquiry character from Host = Enq ( 05 ) Setting Enquiry character from Host

ENQ

ACK/NAK

When this option is selected, after transmitting data, the scanner expects either an ACK or

NAK response from the host. When a NAK is received, the scanner transmits the same data again
and waits for either an ACK or NAK. After three unsuccessful attempts to send data when NAKs
are received, the scanner issues an error indication and discards the data.

The scanner waits up to the programmable Host Serial Response Time-out to receive an
ACK or NAK. If the 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.

When the ACK/NAK protocol is used, the scanner waits for an ACK (acknowledge) or (not

acknowledge) from the host computer after data transmission, and will resend in response to a

NAK.

RTS/CTS-If the scanner wants to send the barcode data to host computer, it will issue the
RTS signal first, wait for the CTS signal from the host computer, and then perform the
normal data communication. If there is no replied CTS signal from the host computer after

the timeout (Response Delay) duration, the scanner halts transmission until it detects another

active CTS signal.

In case of RTS/CTS, Enquiry and Ack/Nak protocol, the scanner is waiting for an answer
of the Host.

WEDGE TRANSMISSION

This chapter covers Keyboard Wedge interface information for setting up your scanner. This
interface type is used to attach the scanner between the keyboard and host computer.

The scanner translates the bar code data into keystrokes. The host computer accepts the key
strokes as if they originate from the keyboard This mode of operation allows adding bar code
reading functionality to a system designed for manual keyboard input. In this mode the keyboard
keys trokes are simply passed
through.

SYMBOLOGY

Many bar code symbologies have been developed to suit many data capture applications in

different domains (retail, industry, medical, transport,…) requiring simple or complete sets of
characters (numeric , alpha-numeric, full ASCII set….) with various density performances. Each

symbology has options which must be carefully checked and adjusted by the user. Some examples
are printed inside the last cover of this manual.

MSI Check Character

Different types of check characters are used with MSI barcodes. You can program the
scanner to read MSI barcodes with Type 10 check characters.
When Check Character is set to Validate and Transmit, the scanner will only read MSI
barcodes printed with the specified type check character, and will transmit this character at the end
of the scanned data. When Check Character is set to Validate, but Don’t Transmit, the unit will only
read MSI barcodes printed with the specified type check character, but will not transmit the check
character with the scanned data.

CODE 39

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 barcode being scanned was created
using one the host program is expecting. If this is the case, scan the barcode below, select the code
page with which the barcodes were created and scan the value and the Save barcode. The data
characters should then appear properly.

This is the most popular alpha-numeric bar code symbology. It has a set of 43 characters

(alphanumeric and few symbols) and can be used with or without a check digit.

CODABAR

The Coda bar (or Monarch) is a very high reliable bar code which has been designed espe­cially for medical applications such as blood bag identification. Its character set contains numerics
and four symbols. This function permits the capture of two codes with only one scan. Codes must
be close to one another and on the same “line”.

Note: to operate this function correctly, the first code must end with the “d” stop character and the
second code must start with the “d” start character. These two start/stop characters are cleared
before transmission

2/5 ENTRELACE

This symbology encodes a pair of digits in each symbol, the number of digits are always an
even number. Information is carried in the bars and spaces. The start and stop pattern is not unique
inside the code. It is therefore essential to use the fixed length option to prevent partial reads

The bar code 2/5 interleaved is a bidirectional digital barcode. This bar code says "Inter­leaved 2 of 5" uses the same encoding scheme as the bar code 2/5 (2 of 5) but intertwining charac­ters in pairs. This means that the first character is coded with the bars while the second character
uses the spaces of the same area. Since the bars and spaces codify characters, the bar code 2/5
interleaved performed in all cases, encoding an even number of characters. The odd numbers are
coded with the bars, and the numbers of even rank are coded with spaces. The term 2/5 interleaved
is because we use for each character 5 elements 2 are still large.

EAN 128

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

Similar Automatic Identification Manufacturers, Inc. of the United States(AIMUSA) have

standardized the reporting of data sources from barcode reading devices. Sending the AIM symbol­ogy prefix identifies the symbology to the host terminal, allowing it to specifically differentiate

between UCC-128(Code128 with Function Character 1 in the first position ) and standard Code128

symbols. When this feature is disabled, the host cannot differentiate between these symbols.

Scan the labels below to enable or disable the sending of an AIM symbology
