The data interface consists of an RS-232 port designed to operate either with or without
the hardware handshaking lines, Request to Send (RTS), and Clear to Send (CTS). Handshaking Control includes the following options:
• RTS — RTS is asserted during transmissions. CTS is ignored.
• RTS/CTS — RTS is asserted during transmissions. CTS gates transmissions.
• RTS/XON/XOFF — RTS is asserted during transmissions. CTS is ignored. XON and
XOFF gate transmissions.

Intercharacter Delay
This parameter specifies the intercharacter delay between the end of one character and the
beginning of the next. The delay can be set within a range of zero (0) to 990 milliseconds
in 10ms increments. A setting of zero specifies no delay.
To set the delay:
1. Determine the desired setting in milliseconds.
2. Divide the desired setting by 10 (setting is in 10ms increments). Pad the result with leading zeroes to yield two digits. For example: 0 = 00, 5 = 05, 20 = 20, etc.
3. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE barcode to enter Programming
Mode.
4. Scan the barcode: SELECT INTERCHARACTER DELAY SETTING.
5. Scan the appropriate two digits from the keypad in Appendix E, Keypad, that represent
the duration which was determined in the steps above. You will hear a two-beep indication after the last character.
If you make a mistake before the last character, scan the CANCEL barcode to
abort and not save the entry string. You can then start again at the beginning.

Data Editing Overview
CAUTION
When a barcode is scanned, additional information can be sent to the host computer
along with the barcode data. This combination of barcode data and supplementary userdefined data is called a “message string.” The features in this chapter can be used to build
specific user-defined data into a message string.
There are several types of selectable 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. Figure 3 shows the available elements you can add to a message
string:

Data Editing
Please Keep In Mind...
• Modifying a message string is not a mandatory requirement. Data editing is sophisticated
feature allowing highly customizable output for advanced users. Factory default settings
for data editing is typically set to NONE.
• A prefix or suffix may be applied (reference the Symbologies chapter for these settings)
across all symbologies (set via the Global features in this chapter).
• You can add any character from the ASCII Chart (from 00-FF) on the inside back cover
of this manual as a prefix, suffix or Label ID.
• Enter prefixes and suffixes in the order in which you want them to appear on the output.
Global Prefix/Suffix
Up to 20 ASCII characters may be added as a prefix (in a position before the barcode
data) and/or as a suffix (in a position following the barcode data) as indicated in Figure 4.

Example: Setting a Prefix
In this example, we’ll set a prefix for all symbologies.
1. Determine which ASCII character(s) are to be added to scanned barcode data. In this
example, we’ll add a dollar sign (‘$’) as a prefix.
2. Scan the ENTER/EXIT barcode.
3. Scan the SET GLOBAL PREFIX barcode.
4. Reference the ASCII Chart on the inside back cover of this manual, to find the hex value
assigned to the desired character. The corresponding hex number for the ‘$’ character is

To configure a Label ID individually for a single symbology:
1. Scan the ENTER/EXIT barcode.
2. Select Label ID position as either BEFORE (Enable as Prefix) or AFTER (Enable as suf-
fix) by scanning the appropriate barcode in the section Label ID Control on page 100.
Reference Figure 6 for Label ID positioning options if multiple identification features are
enabled.
3. Scan a barcode to select the symbology for which you wish to configure a custom Label
ID from the section Label ID Symbology Selection, starting on page 101.
4. Determine the desired character(s) (you may choose up to three) which will represent the
Label ID for the selected symbology.
5. Turn to the ASCII Chart on the inside back cover of this manual and find the equivalent
hex digits associated with your choice of Label ID. For example, if you wish to select an
equal sign (=) as a Label ID, the chart indicates its associated hex characters as 3D. Turn to

Character Conversion
Character conversion is an eight byte configuration item. The eight bytes are 4 character
pairs represented in hexadecimal ASCII values. The first character in the pair is the character that will be converted. The second character in the pair is the character to convert
to. If the character to convert in a pair is FF, then no conversion is done.
For example, if you have the character conversion configuration item set to the following:
41423132FFFFFFFF
The first pair is 4142 or AB (41 hex is an ASCII capital A, 42 hex is an ASCII capital B)
and the second pair is 3132 or 12 (31 hex is an ASCII 1, 32 is an ASCII 2). The other
two pairs are FFFF and FFFF.
With the label, AB12BA21, it would look as follows after the character
conversion: BB22BB22.
The A characters were converted to B characters and the 1 characters were converted to
2 characters. Nothing is done with the last two character pairs, since they are all FF.
To set Character Conversion:
1. Scan the ENTER/EXIT barcode.
2. Scan the “Configure Character Conversion” barcode.
3. Determine the desired string. Sixteen positions must be determined as in the above example. Next, turn to the ASCII Chart on the inside back cover of this manual and find the
equivalent hex digits needed to fulfill the string.
4. Turn to Appendix E, Keypad and scan the barcodes representing the hex characters
determined in the previous step.
5. Scan the ENTER/EXIT barcode to exit Programming Mode.
If less than the expected string of 16 characters are selected, scan
the ENTER/EXIT barcode twice to accept the selections and exit Programming Mode.

UPC/EAN Global Settings
This section provides configuration settings for UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN 13 and EAN 8
symbologies, and affects all of these unless otherwise marked for each feature description.
UPC/EAN Decoding Level
Decoding Levels are used to configure a barcode symbology decoder to be very aggressive
to very conservative depending on a particular customer’s needs.
• Choosing Level 1 results in a very conservative decoder at the expense of not being able to
read poorly printed or damaged labels.
• Choosing Level 5 results in a very aggressive decoder. This aggressive behavior allows
decoding of poorly printed and damaged labels at the expense of increasing the likelihood
of decoding errors.
• Choosing Level 3, which is the default setting, allows the majority of product labels to be
decoded.
There are many factors that determine when to change the decoding level for a particular
symbology. These factors include spots, voids, non-uniform bar/space widths, damaged
labels, etc. that may be experienced in some barcode labels. If there are many hard to read
or damaged labels that cannot be decoded using a conservative setting, increase the decoding level to be more aggressive. If the majority of labels are very good quality labels,
or there is a need to decrease the possibility of a decoder error, lower the decoding level
to a more conservative level.

UPC/EAN Correlation
When correlation is enabled, the barcode reader will combine label data from multiple
scans when decoding. Enabling correlation will help the scanner read labels that have
some spots and/or voids. It may also help read labels that have damaged areas. Enabling
correlation will also increase the chances that a label will be read incorrectly.

Contact Customer Support for advanced programming of optional
and conditional add-ons.
NOTE
If a UPC/EAN base label and a an add-on are both decoded, the
reader will transmit the base label and add-on. If a UPC/EAN base
label is decoded without an add-on, the base label will be transmitted
without an add-on.
NOTE
Conditional add-on settings (if enabled) are considered by the reader
before optional add-on settings.
