The configuration of the scanner can be done by reading the setup barcodes contained in this manual or via the ScanMaster software.

This section describes the procedure of configuring the scanner by reading the setup barcodes and provides some examples for demonstration.

Note: If RS-232 is selected for output interface, the host can directly send serial

commands to configure the scanner. For example, run HyperTerminal.exe and type the 6-digit command located under each setup barcode. Refer to

Appendix II Host Serial Commands.

QUICK START

Enter Setup

1500 Barcode Scanner User Guide

ENTER CONFIGURATION MODE

For the scanner to enter the configuration mode, you must have it read the "Enter Setup" barcode, which can be located at the bottom of almost every even page of this manual.

 The scanner will respond with six beeps and its LED indicator will become flashing red

after reading the barcode.

Enter Setup

For configuring scanner parameters, see “Read a Setup Barcode” below.

EXIT CONFIGURATION MODE

For the scanner to save settings and exit the configuration mode, you must have it read the “Update” barcode, which can be located at the bottom of almost every odd page of this manual. If you want to exit the configuration mode without saving any changes, have the scanner read the “Abort” barcode instead.

 Just like reading the “Enter Setup” barcode, the scanner will r espond with six beeps

and its LED indicator will become flashing red after reading the barcode. Wait for a few seconds for the scanner to restart itself.

READ A SETUP BARCODE

CONFIGURE PARAMETERS

For most of the scanner parameters, only one read is required to set them to new values. The scanner will respond with two beeps (low-high tone) when each parameter is set successfully.

But for a number of special parameters, multiple reads are required to complete the setting. In this case, the scanner will respond with a short beep to indicate it needs to read more setup barcodes. These special parameters may require reading one or more setup barcodes, such as

 Numeric barcodes, say, for keyboard type, inter-character delay, length qualification  Hexadecimal barcodes, say, for character strings as prefix, suffix, etc.  When “Keyboard Wedge” is configured for interface, Key Type and Key Status will

then become applicable. You may decide whether or not to change key status when “Normal Key” is selected for Key Type.

To complete the configuration of these special parameters, it requires reading the “Validate” barcode, and the scanner will respond with two beeps (low-high tone) to indicate the input values are validated.

ONE-SCAN SETUP BARCODES

An “One-scan Setup Barcode” does exactly what its name advertises. Scanning one such barcode gets the setting done while saves the hassle of Enter Setup and Update barcodes scanning. Most setting parameters are supported by One-scan Setup.

To create an “One-scan Setup Barcode”:

 prefixing the setting parameter with “#@” characters  suffixing the setting parameter with “#”character

By the example of the setting parameter 109952, the scanner originally needs reading three barcodes to get it set:

Enter Setup

List Page 3

Update

With One-scan Setup Barcode #@109952#, setting is done with one scan.

1.1 POWER

Connect the interface cable between the scanner and your computer.

 If using the RS-232 cable, you must join the power supply cord to power up the

scanner.

 The scanner will respond with one long beep (high tone) and its LED indicator will

become solid red and go off quickly.

1.2 TRANSMIT BUFFER

The scanner is designed to send any collected data to a host computer one by one via the transmit buffer (SRAM). Upon reading a barcode successfully, the scanner responds with one short beep (high tone) and its LED indicator becomes solid green and goes off quickly. However, the host computer may not receive the data immediately if u sing a low baud rate or waiting for handshake signal (flow cont rol). With the 4 KB transmit buffer, the scanner can ignore the transmission status and keep on reading barcodes until the buffer is full. A warning is given when the transmit buffer is full — the scanner will respond with one long beep (low tone) and its LED indicator will become solid red and go off quickly.

Note: The 4 KB transmit buffer on the scanner can hold as many as 256 scans based on

EAN-13 barcodes. Data will be cleared out once the power adaptor t o the RS-232 cable is removed or other interface cable is disconnected!

1.9 READ REDUNDANCY FOR ALL SYMBLOGIES

Select the level of reading security. For example,

 If "No Redundancy" is selected, one successful decoding will make the reading valid

and induce the "READER Event".

 If "Three Times" is selected, it will take a total of four consecutive successful

decoding of the same barcode to make the reading valid. The higher the reading security is (that is, the more redundancy the user selects), the slower the reading speed gets.

It is obvious that the more redundancy you select, the higher the reading security is, and thus, the slower the reading speed becomes. You will have to compromise between reading security and decoding speed.

Two Times

Three Times

Enter Setup

1500 Barcode Scanner User Guide

1.10 ADDON SECURITY FOR UPC/EAN BARCODES

The scanner is capable of decoding a mix of UPC/EAN barcodes with and without addons. The read redundancy (0~30 times) allows changing the number of times to decode a UPC/EAN barcode before transmission. The more redundancy you select, the higher the reading security is, and thus, the slower the reading speed becomes. You will have to compromise between reading security and decoding speed.

Note: UPC/EAN Addon 2 and Addon 5 must be enabled individually for this setting to

take effect.

Addon Security Level

(*0~30)

1) Read the barcode above to specify the read redundancy for UPC/EAN barcodes. (It is

set to 0 by default.)

2) Read the “

Decimal Value” barcode on page 153. For example, read “1” and “2” for the

scanner to re-read the barcode for 12 times.

3) Read the “Validate” barcode on the same page to complete this setting.

Update

Chapter 1 Understanding the Barcode Scanner

1.11 AUTO-SENSE MODE (1500 ONLY)

This mode is only available when you want to seat the scanner in the Auto-Sense Stand. When you enable this mode, it will force the scanner to apply Laser mode as the scan mode. However, it works slightly different from the original Laser mode. Now the scanner will be expecting barcodes as long as it is seated in the Auto-Sense Stand, as shown below. Whenever a barcode is brought within range, the scanner will be able to decode it.

Note: Auto-sense can only be enabled f or CCD scanner and will force it to Laser mode.

To stop this mode, you may remove the scanner from the stand or have the scanner read the “Disable (Auto-Sense)” barcode below. It will return to Laser mode. If Laser mode is not desired, proceed to select a scan mode best suits your application.

Enable

*Disable

When the ambient light is too dim to activate the sensor, you may have the scanner read the “High Sensitivity” barcode to improve performance. Starting from firmware version

1.12, it will emit scan beam every 300 milliseconds when “High Sensitivity” is enabled.

High Sensitivity

*Normal

Note: If the ambient light is under 100 lux, we suggest that you either add lighting or

use Continuous mode instead.

Enter Setup

1500 Barcode Scanner User Guide

1.12 NEGATIVE BARCODES

Normally, barcodes are printed with the color of the bars darker than that of the spaces. But for negative barcodes, they are printed in the opposite sense just like negative films. The spaces of negative barcodes are printed with a color darker than that of the bars. You can configure the scanner to be able to read negative barcodes.

Enable

1.13 EFFECTIVE DECODING AREA

By default, the effective decoding area is 100% covered by the scanned area. However, you may narrow down the decoding area to prevent reading the wrong barcode when a number of barcodes are printed closely. The scanner will only read barcodes that appear in the effective decoding area.

Read the barcode “Centering On” and specify the percentage to narrow down the decoding area. For example, read “Left 10%” and then “Right 30%” for the scanner to decode barcode “A” only.
