SAFETY AND COMPLIANCE NOTICES

FCC COMPLIANCE

Modifications or changes to this equipment without the expressed written approval of
Datalogic could void the authority to use the equipment.

This device complies with PART 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must
accept any interference received, including interference which may cause undesired
operation.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital
device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a
commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential
area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct
the interference at his own expense.

POWER SUPPLY

This product is intended to be installed by Qualified Personnel only.

This accessory device is intended to be supplied by a UL Listed or CSA Certified Power Unit
with «Class 2» or LPS power source, which supplies power directly to the scanner via the 9­pin or USB connector.

CE COMPLIANCE

Warning:

This is a Class A product. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio
interference in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures.

xi

HANDLING

The TC1200 is designed to be used in an industrial environment and is built to withstand
vibration and shock when correctly installed, however it is also a precision product and
therefore before and during installation it must be handled correctly to avoid damage.

 avoid that the scanners hit one another causing damage. They should be handled

separately.

 avoid that the scanners are dropped (exceeding shock limits).

 do not fine tune the positioning by striking the scanner or bracket.

xii

 do not weld the scanner into position which can cause electrostatic, heat or output

window damage.

 do not spray paint near the scanner which can cause output window damage.

INTRODUCTION

1 INTRODUCTION

The TC1200 compact CCD reader is the perfect solution for many OEM applications. It
contains a built-in decoder

and multi-standard interface. Due to its well-balanced mix of
technical characteristics it is perfect for integration into custom equipment, setting a new
standard in this product class.

This Reference Manual provides connection diagrams, default parameter listing, complete
application parameter settings, specific technical features and reading diagrams.

1.1 CONFIGURATION METHODS

1.1.1 Configuration Using Datalogic Aladdin™

(for RS232/USB-COM Interfaces)

The easiest way to configure TC1200 is by using the Datalogic Aladdin™ utility program
downloadable from: www.automation.datalogic.com

.

Aladdin allows you to program the TC1200 reader by selecting configuration commands
through a user-friendly graphical interface running on a PC. These commands are sent to the
reader over the selected communication interface, or they can be printed as barcodes to be
scanned.

Aladdin also provides Help On-Line files explaining how to use the program as well as
descriptions of the configuration parameters.

Aladdin also provides the ability to perform a software upgrade for the connected device (see
the Datalogic Aladdin™ Help On-Line for more details).

1.1.2 Configuration Using Serial Programming Strings

(for RS232/USB-COM Interfaces)

This manual contains the complete

set of command strings for TC1200 configuration. These
strings can be sent via the RS232/USB-COM interface using a terminal emulator such as
HyperTerminal.

Refer to Chapter 3 of this manual for configuration procedures using Serial Strings sent by
the Host.

1.1.3 Configuration Using Programming Barcode Labels

(for all Interfaces)

Refer to Chapter 4 of this manual for configuration procedures using Programming Bacode
Labels.

OFF = No trigger

Button Press for manual trigger

1.3 AVAILABLE MODELS

The TC1200 reader is available in models that differ in regard to the following characteristics:

 Output Interface
 Enclosure

The following models are therefore available:

 TC1200-1000 CCD Reader, RS232
 TC1200-1100 CCD Reader, USB
 TC1200-0000 Scan Engine CCD Reader, RS232

Outputs

There are two outputs available on the TC1200-0000 Scan Engine. Each output can be
activated on one of the following events: Good Read, No Read, Wrong Code.

The active level (high or low) of each Output can also be configured in software.

2.3 POSITIONING

The TC1200 Scanner is able to decode barcode labels at a variety of angles, however
significant angular distortion may degrade reading performance.

When mounting the TC1200 take into consideration these three ideal label position angles: Pitch
0°, Skew 10° to 30° and Tilt 0°. Follow the suggestions for the best orientation:

The Pitch angle is represented by the value P in the figure. Position the reader in order to

minimize the Pitch angle.

Figure 19 - Pitch Angle

The Skew angle is represented by the value S in the figure. Position the reader to assure at
least 10° for the Skew angle. This avoids direct light reflection.

Figure 20 - Skew angle

The Tilt angle is represented by the value T in the figure. Position the reader in order to
minimize the Tilt angle.

3 SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION STRINGS

3.1 TC1200 CONFIGURATION

TC1200 RS232 models (as well as USB models having the USB-COM Interface selected),
can be configured using the serial strings contained in this chapter:

To configure TC1200 RS232 models by using the configuration strings:

1) Connect your TC1200 to a PC RS232 port according to the information in chapter 2.

Set the PC

serial port to the TC1200 default RS232 communication parameters (see

Appendix A).

NOTE

To configure the reader using configuration strings, you must enter Service
Mode which automatically sets the reader communication to 115200
baudrate. You must therefore set the host accordingly for RS232
communications. Upon exiting Service Mode, the programmed baud rate
will be restored.

2) Using a Terminal Emulation Program, send the Restore Current Interface Default string
to the reader using the syntax described on the next page.

3) Send all the necessary command strings according to your application's requirements.

To configure TC1200 USB models (only for USB-COM Interface) by using the
configuration strings:

NOTE

USB models by default have the USB-KBD Interface selected and are
easily configured by reading the barcodes in chapter 4.

1) Download and install the USB-COM driver from the TC1200 product page at

www.automation.datalogic.com.

2) Connect your TC1200 to a PC USB port according to the information in chapter 2.

3) Change the interface to

USB-COM by reading the barcode below.

USB-COM

ËÄ$P,HA47,PmtÎ

4) Using a Terminal Emulation Program, send the Restore Current Interface Default
string to the reader using the syntax described on the next page.

5) Send all the necessary command strings according to your application's requirements.

The Barcode Configuration is suggested when using USB-KBD

interfaces.

4.1 INITIAL SETUP

The following procedure allows preparing your TC1200 to read barcodes by using the default
settings.

RESTORE DEFAULT

1.

Read the restore factory default parameters code below.

4.2 CHANGING DEFAULT SETTINGS

Once your reader is setup, you can change the default parameters to meet your application
needs. Refer to the preceding paragraph for initial configuration in order to set the default
values and select the interface for your application.

In this manual, the configuration parameters are divided into logical groups making it easy to
find the desired function based on its reference group.

The first three groups are for Standard Interface parameter configuration:

 RS232

 RS232/USB-COM

 USB-KBD

The following parameter groups are common to all interface applications:

READING PARAMETERS control various operating modes and indicator status functioning.

DATA FORMAT parameters regard the messages sent to the Host system for all interfaces.

DIGITAL OUTPUTS manage the events controlling the two digital outputs.

POWER SAVE manages overall current consumption in the reading device.

CODE SELECTION parameters allow configuration of a personalized mix of codes, code

families and their options.
