1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 LYNX™ BT DESCRIPTION
The Lynx™ BT Hand-Held Reader packs a lot of performance into an attractive,
rugged, hand-held device. It operates in commercial and industrial environments as
well as the front office.
Omnidirectional
Operating
Decoding
FLASH MEMORY
Lynx™ BT communicates in the 2.4 GHz ISM band and uses the Serial Port Profile
(SPP). Paired with an OM-1000 BT cradle, Lynx™ BT builds a Cordless Reading
System for the collection, decoding and transmission of barcoded data. OM-1000 BT
can be connected to a Host PC through a USB, RS232 or Wedge emulation cable.
By using the radio connection test button it is possible to verify whether the Lynx™
BT reader is connected to the cradle via radio or not. If connected, the reader will
emit a single beep, otherwise no beep will be generated.
Thanks to the batch mode (see par. 5.6.1) Lynx™ BT continues to collect codes even
when out of radio range. OM-1000 BT also serves as a battery charger for Lynx™
BT.
Together with a Bluetooth
Cordless Reading System for the collection, decoding and transmission of barcoded
data. The Bluetooth
built-in Bluetooth
To read a symbol you simply aim the reader and pull the
trigger. Since the orientation of the symbol is not important, the
Lynx™ BT reader is a powerful, omni-directional device.
Thanks to powerful algorithms, Lynx™ BT reliably decodes all
major 1D (linear) barcodes, 2D stacked codes (such as
PDF417), 2D matrix symbols (such as DataMatrix), postal codes
(such as POSTNET, PLANET). The data stream — acquired
from decoding a symbol — is rapidly sent to the host. The
reader is immediately available to read another symbol.
Flash technology allows to upgrade the Lynx™ BT reader as
new symbologies are supported or as improved decoding
algorithms become available.

1.2 LYNX™ BT BATTERIES
LYNX™ BT
To begin using your Lynx™ BT you must charge its Li-Ion batteries using the OM-1000
cradle or the C-1000 battery charger as described in the following paragraph.
Battery Charging
The first operation to perform is to connect the OM-1000 or the C-1000 to the power

1.3 CONFIGURATION METHODS
1.3.1 Reading Configuration Barcodes
This manual can be used for complete setup and configuration. If you wish to change
the default settings, you can configure the Lynx™ BT reader by reading the
programming barcode symbols in this manual. Configuration commands and their
relative arguments are read individually using the symbols in this manual. See
Appendix C.
1.3.2 Using VisualSetup
The Datalogic VisualSetup program, available on the CD-ROM provided, allows
programming the reader through the OM-1000 BT or a Bluetooth
configuration commands or printing them through a user-friendly graphical interface
running on the PC. These commands are sent to the reader over the current
communication interface; or they can be printed to be read. The program also allows
configuring the OM-1000 BT.

2.1 AIMING SYSTEM
The LYNX™ BT reader uses an intelligent aiming system similar to those on
cameras. The aiming system indicates the field of view to be positioned over the
code:
When you pull the trigger completely a red beam illuminates the code. If the aiming
system is centered and the entire symbology is within the aiming system, you will get
a good read. The field of view changes size as you move the reader closer or farther
away from the code.

LYNX™ BT
The field of view indicated by the aiming system will be smaller when the Lynx™ BT
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. (See
chapter 8 for further details).
2.2 NORMAL OPERATION
Lynx™ BT normally functions by capturing and decoding codes.
Point the reader at the target and pull the trigger partially to enable the aiming
system. Then, pull it completely to capture and decode the image. The reader will
repeatedly flash until the symbol is decoded or timeout is reached. In between the
flashes of the reader, the aiming system keeps on showing the field of view on the
target (see Figure 3
).
As you are reading code symbols, adjust the distance at which you are holding the
reader.
The LYNX™ BT hand-held reader aiming system is designed for
general reading and decoding of 1D and 2D symbols. Some variation
in reading distance will occur due to narrow bar width and other
NOTE
factors.
.3 IMAGE CAPTURING 2
Lynx™ BT can also function as a camera by capturing images of labels, signatures,
nd other items.
a
In order to capture an image, the user should read a Capture Image code, then point
at the image subject and pull the trigger. This way, the image will be captured and
sent to the host PC. Lynx™ BT then returns to normal operation. To capture another
image you must read another Capture Image Code of the same or a different Preset
Configuration.
You can use the aiming system to position the reader from the object (ensure the
reader is about centered over the target). Adjust the distance at which you are
holding the reader (see Figure 3).
The image will be transferred to the host PC through the OM-10000 BT cradle or a
BT device. If using the cradle with the RS232 interface or a BT device, the image will
be transferred via XMODEM_1K

NOTE
when the Software trigger type is selected.
Up to four different and independent Image Presets can be defined (see on page 82).
For each Image Preset you may set up to three Basic Configuration Parameters, and
up to five Advanced Configuration Parameters. Therefore an image is processed
before being sent to the Host, according to a preset group of parameters.
2.3.1 Basic Configuration Parameters
The Image file formats supported are: BMP, TIFF, JPEG (default).
Two resolution options are available: VGA Resolution (640 x 480 pixels) (default),
and CIF Resolution (320 x 240 pixels). The lower resolution setting yields smaller file
sizes, so the transfer time decreases.
For JPEG images it is possible to define the Image Quality level to address tradeoff
between image file size and quality.

2.3.2 Advanced Configuration Parameters
An image portion (Window), instead of an entire image, can be captured. This
parameter is generally used for particular fixed reading position applications.

Y
0

height
width
480
Y
An Image Window may either be as large as the image itself or smaller (10 x 10
pixels minimum), and is defined by its origin (the coordinate X
), its width (number
0, Y0
of pixels along the X Axis) and its height (number of pixels along the Y Axis).
By default, for all Image Presets, the window has its origin coordinates equal to zero,
its width equal to 640 pixels and its height to 480 pixels.
It is possible to perform Zooming of the image. The zoom range varies from 20% up
to 200% in steps of 20%, so ten different settings are available. Default is 100% (no
zoom).
In addition to Windowing and Zoom you can adjust Brightness and Contrast levels.
Brightness Adjustment is available in the range from –100% up to 100%, in steps of
1%. Positive values shift the luminance up so that the image will result brighter.
Default value is 0%, meaning that no brightness adjustment is performed.

The same range of values (–100% up to 100%, in steps of 1%) is available for
Contrast Adjustment. Positive values will increase the contrast, so that dark and
bright objects inside the image will be better distinguishable. Default value is 0%,
which means that no contrast adjustment is performed.
You can set the Image Color Depth by selecting 256 gray levels (default), 16 gray
levels, or 2 gray levels. Higher color depths yield larger image files. This option is
ignored if the JPEG format is selected,(256 gray levels only).
2.4 AUTOSCANNING
The Autoscan mode requires a rapid consumption of the Lynx™ BT
batteries.
NOTE
2.4.1 Normal Mode
Lynx™ BT provides an autoscan command, which when enabled, causes the reader
to scan continuously and to monitor the central zone of its reading area. In this way,
ynx™ BT is ready to cL apture any image (containing a potential code) positioned on
a uniform
background.
The aiming system can be enabled to indicate the reading area of the potential code
to be captured. The illumination system can also be enabled when the ambient light
conditions are not sufficient to autodetect the potential code to be captured;
furthermore, the illumination system increases in intensity for an instant when
apturing and decoding an image. A safetyc time may be defined to prevent Lynx™
BT from reading the same code repeatedly.
If the decoding is completed successfully, the reader starts monitoring the reading
rea again. In case of decoding failure, Lynx™ BT keeps oa

In case of low ambient light conditions, Lynx™ BT automatically activates the
illumination system. If desired, the illumination system can be enabled so that it is
always active.
2.5 CAMERA CONTROL
Exposure and Calibration
Two different control modes are available for managing the camera: automatic mode
and fixed mode.
The automatic mode provides three different options to get the best tuning of the
image to be captured:
- Automatic based on entire image
the whole image. This mode works well in most standard applications. It is the
default setting.
- Automatic based on central image
of a restricted area positioned in the central zone of the image. This mode is
suggested when reading small codes positioned in a dark and extensive
background.
- Automatic for highly reflective surfaces
codes on highly reflective surfaces. This mode is suggested, for example, when
reading codes positioned on plastic or metal surfaces.
The fixed mode is particularly suggested for expert users. It requires a camera
calibration to adjust the acquisition parameters to the ambient light conditions. The
defined values will always be used when working with a fixed exposure.
These values are permanently saved in the reader memory.
Refer to page 47 for configuration barcodes.
Aiming System Calibration
The factory-defined Lynx™ BT aiming system is already correctly and precisely
calibrated to the Lynx™ BT focus distance and therefore works for the most typical
applications. However, it is possible to modify the aiming system precision for the
following condition:
when a fixed reading distance different from the Lynx™ BT focus distance
used. The Lynx™ BT focus distance is 115 mm for Lynx™ BT432, and 65 mm for
Lynx™ BT 432E.
Refer to the VisualSetup software program for performing the aiming system
calibration.
