About This Manual

This User‟s Guide provides demonstration, installation, and programming instructions for the

engine. Product specifications, dimensions, warranty, and customer support information are also included. C2R Technologie bar code engines are factory programmed for the most common terminal and communications settings. If you need to change these settings, programming is accomplished by scanning the bar codes in this guide. An asterisk (*) next to an option indicates the default setting.

Unpacking the Colibri

After you open the shipping carton containing the OEM Engine, take the following steps:

 Check to make sure everything you ordered is present.  Save the shipping container for later storage or shipping.  Check for damage during shipment. Report damage immediately to the carrier who

Connecting the Scanner

1 Turn oﬀ power to the terminal/computer. 2 If using a USB connection, connect the included interface cable to the scanner and to the matching USB port on the back of the computer. Skip to step 5.

Note: For additional USB programming and technical information,refer to “USB Application Note,” available at www.c2r-technologie.com .

3 If using an RS-232 connection, connect the serial interface cable to the scanner and to the matching port on the back of the computer.

4 Connect the power supply connector to the serial interface cable. Plug in the power supply. 5 Turn the terminal/computer power back on. The engine beeps.

Colibri serie 5 : User’s guide

18 18

Rev. C

6 If connecting the Engine using an RS-232 interface, all communication parameters between the imager and terminal must match for correct data transfer through the serial port using RS-232 protocol. Scan the RS-232 interface bar code below. This programs the Engine for an RS-232 interface at 115,200 baud, parity–none, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and adds a suffix of a CR LF.

7 Verify the engine operation by scanning a bar code from the Sample Symbols in the back of this manual. The engine beeps once when a bar code is successfully decoded.

Reading Techniques

The engine has a view finder that projects a bright red or green aiming beam that corresponds to

the engine‟s horizontal field of view. The aiming beam should be centered over the bar code, but

it can be positioned in any direction for a good read.

Linear bar code 2D Matrix symbol

The aiming beam is smaller when the engine is closer to the code and larger when it is farther from the code. Symbologies with smaller bars or elements (mil size) should be read closer to the unit. Symbologies with larger bars or elements(mil size) should be read farther from the unit. To read single or multiple symbols (on a page or on an object), hold the engine at an appropriate distance from the target, send a trigger command, and center the aiming beam on the symbol. If the code being scanned is highly reflective (e.g., laminated), it may be necessary to tilt the code +5° to prevent unwanted reflection.

Terminal ID

If you want to change the pre-programmed interface of your image engine, refer to Supported Terminals, below. For example, a USB HID POS device has a Terminal ID of 131. You would scan the Terminal ID bar code, then 1, 3, 1 from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual, then Save. If you make an error while scanning the digits (before scanning Save), scan the Discard code on the Programming Chart, scan the Terminal ID bar code, scan the digits, and the Save code again.

Keyboard Style

This programs keyboard styles, such as Caps Lock and Shift Lock. Default = Regular. Regular is used when you normally have the Caps Lock key off.

* Regular Caps Lock is used when you normally have the Caps Lock key on.

Shift Lock is used when you normally have the Shift Lock key on (not common to U.S. keyboards).

Automatic Caps Lock is used if you change the Caps Lock key on and off. The software tracks and reflects if you have Caps Lock on or off (AT and PS/2 only). This selection can only be used with systems that have an LED which notes the Caps Lock status.

Auto caps via NumLock barcode should be scanned in countries (e.g., Germany, France) where the Caps Lock key cannot be used to toggle Caps Lock. The NumLock option works similarly to the regular Autocrats, but uses the NumLock key to retrieve the current state of the Caps Lock.

Emulate External Keyboard should be scanned if you do not have an external keyboard (IBM AT or equivalent).

Note: After scanning the Emulate External Keyboard barcode, you must power cycle your computer.

Keyboard Modifiers

This modifies special keyboard features, such as CTRL+ ASCII codes and Turbo Mode.

Control + ASCII Mode On: The imager sends key combinations for ASCII control characters for values 00-1F. Windows is the preferred mode. All keyboard country codes are supported. DOS mode is a legacy mode, and it does not support all keyboard country codes. New users should use the Windows mode. Refer to Keyboard Function Relationships, page 116 for CTRL+ ASCII Values. Default = Off

RS-232 Word Length: Data Bits, Stop Bits, and Parity

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 which 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. Parity provides a means of checking character bit patterns for validity.

Default :None.

RS-232 Receiver Time-Out

Colibri serie 5 : User’s guide

26 26

Rev. C

The unit stays awake to receive data until the RS-232 Receiver Time-Out expires. A trigger command resets the time-out. When an RS-232 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 RS-232 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 timeout - always on)

RS232 Receiver Time Out

RS-232 Handshaking

RS-232 handshaking is a set of rules concerning the exchange of data between serially communicating devices. If using RTS/CTS handshaking, the imager issues an active RTS signal to the receiving device. The imager waits to send its data until it detects an active CTS signal from the receiving device. The imager then sends its data while checking the CTS signal before the transmission of each data character. If an inactive CTS signal is detected at any time, the imager halts transmission until it detects another active CTS signal. When the imager has finished transmitting data, it issues an inactive RTS signal to the receiving device. Default: RTS/CTS Off, XON/XOFF Off, and ACK/NAK Off.

TTL Level 232 Interface

The Colibri provides a TTL level serial 232 communication link. TTL Level 232 Inverted is the “normal” mode that allows direct communication from the Colibri to a standard PC RS-232 serial port with the use of cable (31-001). Non-Inverted serial TTL communication is provided to allow direct connection to a TTL UART port,

Colibri serie 5 : User’s guide

Rev. C

or to an RS-232 driver integrated circuit. Note that if the TTL Level 232 Non-Inverted bar code is scanned, the 5X80 will no longer communicate with a standard PC RS-232 port. TTL Level 232 Inverted with Polarity Override allows direct communication from the Colibri to a standard PC RS-232 serial port with the use of cable. This setting also allows you to override the polarity externally. Default : TTL Level 232 Inverted with Polarity Override.

Image VGA

You can set the image size to a VGA resolution, if necessary, to accommodate older applications that require a smaller image size. When Image VGA is set to On, the resultant image is 640x480 pixels. When Image VGA is Off, your image is 752x480 pixels.

Good Read Indicators

The beeper may be programmed On or Off in response to a good read. Turning this option off, only turns off the beeper response to a good read indication. All error and menu beeps are still audible. Default = On. Note: Changes to Beep Polarity (see page 30) also affect the Beeper-Good Read signal.

Beeper Volume – Good Read

The beeper volume codes modify the volume of the beep the imager emits on a good read. Default = High for the Colibri.

Beeper Pitch – Good Read

The beeper pitch codes modify the pitch (frequency) of the beep the imager emits on a good read. Default = Medium.

Beeper Duration – Good Read

The beeper duration codes modify the length of the beep the imager emits on a good read. Default = Normal.

LED – Good Read

The LED indicator can be programmed On or Off in response to a good read Default = On. Note: Changes to LED Good Read Polarity (see after) also affect the LED Good Read signal.

LED Good Read Polarity

LED Good Read Polarity sets the idle and active states of the LED signal. When set to Active High, the LEDs turn on when the signal shifts from low to high. When set to Active Low, the LEDs turn on when the signal shifts from high to low. If the LED is enabled for a good read (see LED – Good Read on page 29), the polarity change takes effect after the next successful decode or a power cycle. If the LED is disabled, a polarity change only takes effect after a power cycle. Default = Active Low. Note: LED Good Read Polarity sets the LED signal voltage level to either high (Active Low) or low (Active High). This will affect LED-Good Read setting. If the LED has been disabled, make

sure it is not turned on accidentally by a polarity change.

Number of Beeps – Good Read

The number of beeps of a good read can be programmed from 1 - 9. The same number of beeps will be applied to the beeper and LED in response to a good read. For example, if you program this option to have five beeps, there will be five beeps and five LED flashes in response to a good read. The beeps and LED flashes are in sync with one another. To change the number of beeps, scan the bar code below and then scan a digit (1-9) bar code and the Save bar code on the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual. Default = One.

Beep Polarity

Beep Polarity sets the idle and active states of the beeper signal. When set to Active High, the beeper sounds when the signal shifts from low to high. When set to Active Low, the beeper sounds when the signal shifts from high to low. If the beeper is enabled for a good read (see Beeper – Good Read on page 28),the polarity change takes effect after the next successful decode or a power cycle. If the beeper is disabled, a polarity change only takes effect after a power cycle. Default = Active Low. Note: Beep Polarity sets the beeper signal voltage level to either high (Active Low) or low (Active High). This will affect Beeper-Good Read settings. If the beeper has been disabled, make sure it is not turned on accidentally by a polarity change.

Good Read Delay

This sets the minimum amount of time before the imager can read another bar code. Default = No Delay.
