1-1 Reading Techniques
The scan engine has a view finder that projects a bright red aiming square.
The aiming beam should be centered over the bar code, but it can also be
positioned outside of the center for a good read.
Linear bar code
2D Matrix symbol
The aiming beam is smaller when the scan 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 scan
engine at an appropriate distance from the target, pull the trigger, 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 up 15° to 18° to prevent unwanted reflection.

1-2 Setting Custom Default
You have the ability to create a set of menu commands as your own, custom
defaults.
To do so, scan the Set Custom Defaults bar code below before scanning the
menu commands for your custom defaults. If a menu command requires
scanning numeric codes from the back cover, then a Save code, that entire
sequence will be saved to your custom defaults.
When you have entered all the commands you want to save for your custom
defaults, scan the Save Custom Defaults bar code.
Set Custom Defaults
Save Custom Defaults
You may have a series of custom settings and want to correct a single setting.
To do so, just scan the new setting to overwrite the old one.
For example, if you had previously saved the setting for Beeper Volume at Low
to your custom defaults, and decide you want the beeper volume set to High,
just scan the Set Custom Defaults bar code, then scan the Beeper Volume
High menu code, and then Save Custom Defaults.
The rest of the custom defaults will remain, but the beeper volume setting will
be updated.
1-2 Setting Custom Default

1. GET STARTED
1-3 Reset the Custom Defaults
If you want the custom default settings restored to your scan engine, scan the
Activate Custom Defaults bar code below.
This is the recommended default bar code for most users. It resets the scan
engine to the custom default settings.
If there are no custom defaults, it will reset the scan engine to the factory
default settings.
Any settings that have not been specified through the custom defaults will be
defaulted to the factory default settings.
Activate Custom Defaults
Note: To remove cutom defaults, see "Resetting the Factory Defaults".

2-1 Introduction
This chapter describes how to program your system for the desired interface.
2-2 Program the Interface - Plug and Play
Plug and Play bar codes provide instant scan engine set up for commonly
used interfaces.
Note: After you scan one of the codes, power cycle the host terminal to have
the interface in effect.
2-2-1 RS232 serial port
The RS232 Interface bar code is used when connecting to the serial port of a
PC or terminal. It also programs a carriage return (CR) and a line feed (LF)
suffix, baud rate, and data format as indicated below. It also changes the
trigger mode to manual.

2-4 Keyboard Style
This programs keyboard styles, such as Caps Lock and Shift Lock.
If you have used Keyboard Conversion settings, they will override any of the
following Keyboard Style settings. Default = Regular.
Regular is used when you normally have the Caps Lock key off.
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. This
selection can only be used with systems that have an LED that notes
the Caps Lock status (AT keyboards).

2-5 Keyboard Conversion
Alphabetic keyboard characters can be forced to be all upper case or all
lowercase.
So if you have the following bar code: “abc569GK,” you can make the output
“ABC569GK” by scanning Convert All Characters to Upper Case, or to
“abc569gk” by scanning Convert All Characters to Lower Case.
These settings override Keyboard Style selections.
Note: If your interface is a keyboard wedge, first scan the menu code for
Automatic Caps Lock. Otherwise, your output may not be as expected.

2-8-3 RS232 Receiver Time-Out
The unit stays awake to receive data until the RS232 Receiver Time-Out
expires. A manual or serial trigger resets the time-out. When an RS232
receiver is sleeping, a character may be sent to wake up the receiver and reset
the time-out. A transaction on the CTS line will also wake up the receiver. The
receiver takes 300 milliseconds to completely come up. Change the RS232
receiver time-out by scanning the bar code below, then scanning digits from
the inside back cover of this manual, then scanning Save. The range is 0 to
300 seconds.

2-8-4 RS232 Handshaking
RS232 Handshaking allows control of data transmission from the scan engine
using software commands from the host device. When RTS/CTS is turned Off,
no data flow control is used.
Flow Control, No Timeout: The scan engine asserts RTS when it has data to
send, and will wait indefinitely for CTS to be asserted by the host.
Two-Direction Flow Control: The scan engine asserts RTS when it is OK for
the host to transmit. The host asserts CTS when it is OK for the device to
transmit.
Flow Control with Timeout: The scan engine asserts RTS when it has data to
send and waits for a delay (see RS232 Timeout) for CTS to be asserted by the
host. If the delay time expires and CTS is not asserted, the device transmit
buffer is cleared and scanning may resume.
Default = RTS/CTS Off

1-5100 milliseconds) by scanning digits from the inside back cover, then
scanning Save.

2-8-6 XON/XOFF
Standard ASCII control characters can be used to tell the scan engine to start
sending data (XON/XOFF On) or to stop sending data (XON/XOFF Off). When
the host sends the XOFF character (DC3, hex 13) to the scan engine, data
transmission stops. To resume transmission, the host sends the XON
character (DC1, hex 11). Data transmission continues where it left off when
XOFF was sent.

2-8-7 ACK/NAK
After transmitting data, the scan engine waits for an ACK character (hex 06) or
a NAK character (hex 15) response from the host. If ACK is received, the
communications cycle is completed and the scan engine looks for more bar
codes. If NAK is received, the last set of bar code data is retransmitted and the
scan engine waits for ACK/NAK again. Turn on the ACK/NAK protocol by
scanning the ACK/NAK On bar code below. To turn off the protocol, scan
ACK/NAK Off.
Default = ACK/NAK Off

user. For instance, if multiple codes are placed closely together, Presentation
Centering will insure that only the desired codes are read.
Note: To adjust centering when the scanner is hand-held, see Centering If a
barcode is not touched by a predefined window, it will not be decoded or output
by the scanner. If Presentation Centering is turned on by scanning
Presentation Centering On, the scanner only reads codes that pass through
the centering window you specify using the Top of Presentation Centering
Window, Bottom of Presentation Centering Window, Left, and Right of
Presentation Centering Window barcodes.
In the example below, the white box is the centering window. The centering
window has been set to 20% left, 30% right, 8% top, and 25% bottom. Since
Bar Code 1 passes through the centering window, it will be read. Bar Code 2
does not pass through the centering window, so it will not be read.
A barcode needs only to be touched by the centering window in order to be
read. It does not need to pass completely through the centering window.Scan
Centering On, then scan one of the following barcodes to change the top and
bottom of the centering window. Then scan the percent you want to shift the

3-20 Centering
Use Centering to narrow the scan engine’s field of view to make sure that
when the scanner is hand-held, it reads only those bar codes intended by the
user. For instance, if multiple codes are placed closely together, centering will
insure that only the desired codes are read. (Centering can be used in
conjunction with Aimer Delay, for the most error-free operation in applications
where multiple codes are spaced closely together. Using the Aimer Delay and
Centering features, the scanner can emulate the operation of older systems,
such as linear laser bar code scanners.)
If a bar code is not touched by a predefined window, it will not be decoded or
output by the scan engine. If centering is turned on by scanning Centering On,
the scan engine only reads codes that pass through the centering window you
specify using the Top of Centering Window and Bottom of Centering Window
bar codes.
In the example below, the white box is the centering window. The centering
window has been set to 8% top and 25% bottom. Since Bar Code 1 passes
through the centering window, it will be read. Bar Code 2 does not pass
through the centering window, so it will not be read.

3-21 Multiple Symbols
When this programming selection is turned On, it allows you to read multiple
symbols with a single pull of the scanner’s trigger. If you press and hold the
trigger, aiming the scanner at a series of symbols, it reads unique symbols
once, beeping (if turned on) for each read. The scanner attempts to find and
decode new symbols as long as the trigger is pulled. When this programming
selection is turned Off, the scanner will only read the symbol closest to the
aiming beam.

Video Reverse is used to allow the scan engine to read barcodes that are
inverted. The Video Reverse Off barcode below is an example of this type of
barcode. Scan Video Reverse Only to read only inverted barcodes. Scan
Video Reverse and Standard Barcodes to read both types of codes.
Note: After scanning Video Reverse Only, menu barcodes cannot be read. You
must scan Video Reverse Off or Video Reverse and Standard Barcodes in
order to read menu barcodes.

4-1 Prefix/Suffix Overview
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 “message string.” The selections in this section
are used to build the user-defined data into the message string.
Prefix and Suffix characters are data characters that can be sent before and
after scanned data. You can specify if they should be sent with all symbologies,
or only with specific symbologies. The following illustration shows the
breakdown of a message string:
4-1-1 Points to Keep In Mind
It is not necessary to build a message string. The selections in this chapter are
only used if you wish to alter the default settings.
Default prefix = None Default suffix = None.
A prefix or suffix may be added or cleared from one symbology or all
symbologies.
You can add any prefix or suffix from the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page
1252), plus Code I.D. and AIM I.D.
You can string together several entries for several symbologies at one time.
Enter prefixes and suffixes in the order in which you want them to appear on
the output.
When setting up for specific symbologies (as opposed to all symbologies), the
specific symbology ID value counts as an added prefix or suffix character.
The maximum size of a prefix or suffix configuration is 200 characters, which
includes header information.

4-1-2 To Add a Prefix or Suffix
Step 1. Scan the Add Prefix or Add Suffix symbol.
Step 2. Determine the 2 digit Hex value from the Symbology Chart (included in
the Symbology Charts) for the symbology to which you want to apply the prefix
or suffix. For example, for Code 128, Code ID is “j” and Hex ID is “6A”.
Step 3. Scan the 2 hex digits from the Programming Chart inside the back
cover of this manual or scan 9, 9 for all symbologies.
Step 4. Determine the hex value from the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page
1252), for the prefix or suffix you wish to enter.
Note: To add the Code I.D., scan 5, C, 8, 0.
To add AIM I.D., scan 5, C, 8, 1.
To add a backslash (\), scan 5, C, 5, C.
To add a backslash (\), you must scan 5C twice – once to create the leading
backslash and then to create the backslash itself.
Step 5. Scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart inside the back
cover of this manual.
Step 6. Repeat Steps 4 and 5 for every prefix or suffix character.
Step 7. Scan Save to exit and save, or scan Discard to exit without saving.
Repeat Steps 1-6 to add a prefix or suffix for another symbol.
4-1-3 Example : Add a Tab Suffix to All Symbologies
Step 1. Scan Add Suffix.
Step 2. Scan 9, 9 from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this
manual to apply this suffix to all symbologies.
Step 3. Scan 0, 9 from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this
manual. This corresponds with the hex value for a horizontal tab, shown in the
ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252).
Scan Save, or scan Discard to exit without saving.

4-1-4 To Clear One or All Prefixes or Suffixes
You can clear a single prefix or suffix, or clear all prefixes/suffixes for a
symbology. If you have been entering prefixes and suffixes for single
symbologies, you can use Clear One Prefix (Suffix) to delete a specific
character from a symbology.
When you Clear All Prefixes (Suffixes), all the prefixes or suffixes for a
symbology are deleted.
Step 1. Scan the Clear One Prefix or Clear One Suffix symbol.
Step 2. Determine the 2 digit Hex value from the Symbology Chart (included in

5-1 Data Format Editor Introduction
You may use the Data Format Editor to change the scan engine’s output. For
example, you can use the Data Format Editor to insert characters at certain
points in barcode data as it is scanned. The selections in the following pages
are used only if you wish to alter the output.
Default Data Format setting = None
Normally, when you scan a barcode, it is output automatically. However, when
you create a format, you must use a “send” command within the format
program to output data.
Multiple formats may be programmed into the scan engine. They are stacked
in the order in which they are entered. However, the following list presents the
order in which formats are applied:
Specific Terminal ID, Actual Code ID, Actual Length
Specific Terminal ID, Actual Code ID, Universal Length
Specific Terminal ID, Universal Code ID, Actual Length
Specific Terminal ID, Universal Code ID, Universal Length
Universal Terminal ID, Actual Code ID, Actual Length
Universal Terminal ID, Actual Code ID, Universal Length
Universal Terminal ID, Universal Code ID, Actual Length
Universal Terminal ID, Universal Code ID, Universal Length
The maximum size of a data format configuration is 2000 bytes, which includes
header information.
If a barcode is read that fails the first data format, the next data format, if there
is one, will be used on the barcode data. If there is no other data format, the
raw data is output.
If you have changed data format settings, and wish to clear all formats and
return to the factory defaults, scan the Default Data Format code below.

5-2 Add a Data Format
Step1. Scan the Enter Data Format symbol
Step2. Select Primary/Alternate Format
Determine if this will be your primary data format, or one of 3 alternate
formats. This allows you to save a total of 4 different data formats. To
program your primary format, scan 0 using the Programming Chart inside
the back cover of this manual. If you are programming an alternate format,
scan 1, 2, or 3, depending on which alternate format you are
programming. (See "Primary/Alternate Data Formats" for further
information.)
Step3. Terminal Type
Refer to Terminal ID Table and locate the Terminal ID number for your
PC. Scan three numeric bar codes on the inside back cover to program
the scan engine for your terminal ID (you must enter 3 digits). For
example, scan 0 0 3 for an AT wedge.
Note: 099 indicates all terminal types.
Step 4. Code I.D.
In the Symbology Charts, find the symbology to which you want to apply
the data format. Locate the Hex value for that symbology and scan the 2
digit hex value from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this
manual.
If you are creating a data format for Batch Mode Quantity, use 35 for the Code
I.D
Note: 99 indicates all symbologies.
Step 5. Length
Specify what length (up to 9999 characters) of data will be acceptable for
this symbology. Scan the four digit data length from the Programming
Chart inside the back cover of this manual. For example, 50 characters is
entered as 0050.
Note: 9999 indicates all lengths.
Step 6. Editor Commands
Refer to Data Format Editor Commands. Scan the symbols that
represent the command you want to enter.
Step 7. Scan Save to save your data format, or Discard to exit without saving
your changes.

Example: Remove zeroes at the beginning of bar code data
This example shows a bar code that has been zero filled. You may want to
ignore the zeroes and send all the data that follows. E6 searches forward for
the first character that is not zero, then sends all the data after, followed by a
carriage return. Using the bar code above:
Command string: E630F10D
E6
30
F1
0D
“Search forward for a non-matching character” command
Hex value for 0
“Send all characters” command
Hex value for a CR
The data is output as:
37692
<CR>
E7—Search backward for a non-matching character
Search the input message backward for the first non-“xx” character from the
current cursor position, leaving the cursor pointing to the non-“xx” character.
Syntax = E7xx where xx stands for the search character’s hex value for its
ASCII code. Refer to the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), for
decimal, hex and character codes.

5-4-4 Miscellaneous Commands
FB—Suppress characters
Suppress all occurrences of up to 15 different characters, starting at the
current cursor position, as the cursor is advanced by other commands. When
the FC command is encountered, the suppress function is terminated. The
cursor is not moved by the FB command.
Syntax = FBnnxxyy .. zz
where nn is a count of the number of suppressed characters in the list, and
xxyy .. zz is the list of characters to be suppressed.
Example: Remove spaces in bar code data
This example shows a bar code that has spaces in the data. You may want to
remove the spaces before sending the data. Using the bar code above:
Command string: FB0120F10D
FB
01
20
F1
0D
“Suppress characters” command
Number of character types to be suppressed
Hex value for a space
“Send all characters” command
Hex value for a CR
The data is output as:
34567890
<CR>
FC—Stop suppressing characters
Disables suppress filter and clear all suppressed characters. Syntax = FC
E4—Replace characters
Replaces up to 15 characters in the output message, without moving the
cursor. Replacement continues until the E5 command is encountered. Syntax
= E4nnxx- 1xx2yy1yy2...zz1zz2 where nn is the total count of the number of
characters in the list (characters to be replaced plus replacement characters);
xx1 defines characters to be replaced and xx2 defines replacement characters,
continuing through zz1 and zz2
Example: Replace zeroes with CRs in bar code data

5. DATA FORMATTING
If the bar code has characters that the host application does not want included,
you can use the E4 command to replace those characters with something else.
In this example, you will replace the zeroes in the bar code above with carriage
returns.
Command string: E402300DF10D
E4
02
30
0D
F1
0D
“Replace characters” command
Total count of characters to be replaced, plus the replacement characters
(0 is replaced by CR, so total characters = 2)
Hex value for 0
Hex value for a CR (the character that will replace the 0)
“Send all characters” command
Hex value for a CR
The data is output as:
1234
5678
ABC
<CR>
E5—Stop replacing characters
Terminates character replacement. Syntax = E5
FE—Compare characters
Compare the character in the current cursor position to the character “xx.” If
characters are equal, move the cursor forward one position. Syntax = FExx
where xx stands for the comparison character’s hex value for its ASCII code.
Refer to the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), for decimal, hex and
character codes.
EC—Check for a number
Check to make sure there is an ASCII number at the current cursor position.
The format is aborted if the character is not numeric. Example: Only output the
data if the bar code begins with a number If you want only data from bar codes
that begin with a number, you can use EC to check for the number.
Command string: ECF10D
FC
F1
0D
“Check for a number” command
“Send all characters” command
Hex value for a CR

5. DATA FORMATTING
If this bar code is read, the next data format, if there is one,
will be used on the data. If there is no other format, the format fails and the raw
data is output as AB1234.
If this bar code is read: the data is output as:
1234AB
<CR
ED—Check for non-numeric character
Check to make sure there is a non-numeric ASCII character at the current
cursor position.
The format is aborted if the character is numeric.
Example: Only output the data if the bar code begins with a letter
If you want only data from bar codes that begin with a letter, you can use ED to
check for the letter.
Command string: EDF10D
ED
F1
0D
“Check for a non-numeric character” command
“Send all characters” command
Hex value for a CR
If this bar code is read, the next data format, if there is one, will
be used on this data. If there is no other format, the format fails and the raw
data is output as 1234AB.
If this bar code is read: the data is output as:
AB1234
<CR>
EF—Insert a delay
Inserts a delay of up to 49,995 milliseconds (in multiples of 5), starting from the
current cursor position. Syntax = EFnnnn where nnnn stands for the delay in
5ms increments, up to 9999. This command can only be used with keyboard
emulation.

5-5 Data Formatter
When Data Formatter is turned Off, the bar code data is output to the host as
read, including prefixes and suffixes.
Data Formatter Off
You may wish to require the data to conform to a data format you have created
and saved. The following settings can be applied to your data format:
• Data Formatter On, Not Required, Keep Prefix/Suffix
Scanned data is modified according to your data format, and prefixes and
suffixes are transmitted.
• Data Format Required, Keep Prefix/Suffix
Scanned data is modified according to your data format, and prefixes and
suffixes are transmitted. Any data that does not match your data format
requirements generates an error tone and the data in that bar code is not
transmitted. If you wish to process this type of bar code without generating an
error tone, see Primary/Alternate Data Formats.
Choose one of the following options.
Default = Data Formatter On, Not Required, Keep Prefix/Suffix
