Chapter 1

Getting Started

The PowerScan®7000 2D imager marks a new performance level for
handheld area imagers. They deliver aggressive read rates and depths of
field on 1D, stacked linear, and matrix codes. This aggressiveness applies
even in challenging reading environments where low lighting conditions
and poor quality might make it difficult to read bar codes. You can rest
assured your investment will continue to supply years of use by reading
any bar codes you require, now or in the future.

Designed for today’s demanding commercial and industrial environ­ments, the scanner offers superior image quality, speed, durability, and
the ability to read poor quality bar codes. The unit is comfortable to
hold, easy to use, rugged, and excellent for the most demanding applica­tions.

About This Manual

This Product Reference Guide (PRG) provides programming instruc­tions for the imager, plus product specifications and dimensions. For
installation, maintenance, troubleshooting and warranty information,
see the Quick Reference Guide (QRG). Copies of other publications for
this product are downloadable free of charge from the website listed on
the back cover of this manual.

The imager is factory programmed for the most common terminal and
communications settings. If you need to change these settings, program­ming is accomplished by scanning the bar codes in this guide.

An asterisk (*) next to an option indicates the default setting.

Getting Started

Plug and Play

Plug and Play bar codes provide instant imager set up for commonly
used interfaces.

After you scan one of the codes, power cycle
the host terminal to have the interface in effect.

NOTE

Connecting the imager with an RS-232
Serial Port

These instructions are for use with the RS-232
cable. This includes both Power Off the Termi­nal (P.O.T.) and external power.

NOTE

1. Turn off power to the terminal/computer.

2. Connect the appropriate interface cable to the imager.

For the imager to work properly, you must have
the correct cable for your type of terminal/com­puter.

For 220-230 VAC
adapters, the
cord must be
facing down as
shown in the
illustration. If
installed upwards,
it will pose an
undue strain on the
socket outlet.

Plug and Play

3. Plug the serial connector into the serial port on your computer.
Tighten the two screws to secure the connector to the port.

4. If the terminal does not support Power Off the Terminal (P.O.T.)
connections plug the power supply into the host connector and the
AC outlet.

5. Once the imager has been fully connected, power up the com­puter.

All communication parameters between the imager and terminal must
match for correct data transfer through the serial port using RS-232 pro­tocol. Scanning the RS-232 interface bar code, programs the imager for
an RS-232 interface at 115,200 baud, parity–none, 8 data bits, 1 stop
bit, and adds a suffix of a CR LF.

RS-232 Receiver Time-Out

The unit stays awake to receive data until the RS-232 Receiver Time­Out expires. A manual or serial trigger resets the time-out. When an
RS-232 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

RS-232 Handshaking

RS-232 handshaking is a set of rules concerning the exchange of data
between serially communicating devices.

If using RTS/CTS handshaking, the imager issues an active RTS signal
to the receiving device. The imager waits to send its data until it detects
an active CTS signal from the receiving device. The imager then sends
its data while checking the CTS signal before the transmission of each
data character. If an inactive CTS signal is detected at any time, the
imager halts transmission until it detects another active CTS signal.
When the imager has finished transmitting data, it issues an inactive
RTS signal to the receiving device. Default = RTS/CTS Off, XON/XOFF
Off, and ACK/NAK Off.

Interlaced Mode

In Interlaced Mode, the illumination and aiming timing is automatically
synchronized to the imager exposure period by the Optics Module. The
module turns illumination on while the image is being exposed, and it
turns the aiming off at all other times. Interlaced Mode provides the low­est overall current draw and is recommended for most applications. It
also provides the brightest aimer in most applications. Imager software
automatically maintains an approximate 25% aimer duty cycle, even

In Concurrent Mode, the illumination LEDs are on continuously, while
the aimer LEDs turn off during the imager exposure period, and on
while the imager is not exposing. This Mode is used to eliminate any
flicker of the illumination LEDs that may be objectionable to the user.

Centering

Use Centering to narrow the imager’s field of view to make sure the
imager 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 on page 3-12, for the most error-free operation in applica-

tions where multiple codes are spaced closely together. Using the Aimer
Delay and Centering features, the imager can emulate the operation of
older systems, such as linear laser bar code imagers.)

To program the previous example using specific lengths, you would have
to count any programmed prefixes, suffixes, or formatted characters as
part of the length. If you use the example on page 3-19, but assume a
<CR> suffix and specific code lengths, you would use the following com­mand line:

Require Output Sequence

When an output sequence is Required, all output data must conform to
an edited sequence or the imager will not transmit the output data to the
host device. When it’s On/Not Required, the imager will attempt to get
the output data to conform to an edited sequence, but if it cannot, the
imager transmits all output data to the host device as is.

When the output sequence is Off, the bar code data is output to the host
as the imager decodes it.

NOTE

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

Print Weight

Print Weight is used to adjust the way the imager reads Matrix symbols.
If a imager will be seeing consistently heavily printed matrix symbols,
then a print weight of 6 may improve the reading performance. For con­sistently light printing, a print weight of 2 may help. After scanning the

Prefix/Suffix Overview

To Add a Prefix or Suffix:

Step 1. Scan the Add Prefix or Add Suffix symbol (page 4-5).

Step 2. Determine the 2 digit Hex value from the Symbology Chart (included

in the Symbology Chart on page A-1) 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 on page B-5 of this

manual or scan 9, 9 for all symbologies.

Step 4. Determine the hex value from the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code

Page 1252) on page A-4, for the prefix or suffix you wish to enter.

Step 5. Scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart on page B-5

of this manual.

Step 6. Repeat Steps 4 and 5 for every prefix or suffix character.

Step 7. To add the Code I.D., scan 5, C, 8, 0.

To add AIM I.D., scan
To add a backslash (\), scan

To add a backslash (\) as in Step 7, you must
scan 5C twice – once to create the leading back­slash and then to create the backslash itself.

Intercharacter, Interfunction, and
Intermessage Delays

Some terminals drop information (characters) if data comes through too
quickly. Intercharacter, interfunction, and intermessage delays slow the
transmission of data, increasing data integrity.

Each delay is composed of a 5 millisecond step. You can program up to
99 steps (of 5 ms each) for a range of 0-495 ms.

Intercharacter Delay

An intercharacter delay of up to 495 milliseconds may be placed between
the transmission of each character of scanned data. Scan the Intercharac­ter Delay bar code below, then scan the number of milliseconds and the

Data Formatting

Data Format Editor Introduction

You may use the Data Format Editor to change the imager’s output. For
example, you can use the Data Format Editor to insert characters at cer­tain points in bar code 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 bar code, it gets outputted automatically;
however when you do a format, you must use a “send” command (see

Send Commands on page 5-3) within the format program to output data.

Multiple formats may be programmed into the imager. They are stacked
in the order in which they are entered. However, the following list pre­sents the order in which formats are applied:

1. Specific Term ID, Actual Code ID, Actual Length

2. Specific Term ID, Actual Code ID, Universal Length

3. Specific Term ID, Universal Code ID, Actual Length

4. Specific Term ID, Universal Code ID, Universal Length

5. Universal Term ID, Actual Code ID, Actual Length

6. Universal Term ID, Actual Code ID, Universal Length

7. Universal Term ID, Universal Code ID, Actual Length

8. Universal Term ID, Universal Code ID, Universal Length

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 on

* Default Data Format on page 5-5.

Product Reference Guide 5-1

Data Formatting

To Add a Data Format

Step 1. Scan the Enter Data Format symbol (page 5-5).

Step 2. Primary/Alternate Format

Determine if this will be your primary data format, or one of 3 alternate
formats. (Alternate formats allow you “single shot” capability to scan
one bar code using a different data format. After the one bar code
has been read, the imager reverts to the primary data format. See

page 5-6.) If you are programming the primary format, scan 0 using

the Programming Chart on page B-5 of this manual. If you are pro-
gramming an alternate format, scan 1, 2, or 3, depending on the alter­nate format you are programming.

Step 3. Terminal Type

Refer to Supported Terminals on page 2-2 and locate the Terminal ID
number for your PC. Scan three numeric bar codes on the Program-

ming Chart on page B-5 to program the imager for your terminal ID

(you must enter 3 digits). For example, scan 124 for a USB key­board.

The wildcard for all terminal types is 099.

NOTE

Step 4. Code I.D.

In Symbologies, 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 on page B-5 of this man­ual.

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 Program-

ming Chart on page B-5 of this manual. (Note: 50 characters is

entered as 0050. 9999 is a universal number, indicating all lengths.)

Step 6. Editor Commands

Refer to Data Format Editor Introduction on page 5-1. Scan the sym-

Message Length Description

You are able to set the valid reading length of some of the bar code sym­bologies. If the data length of the scanned bar code doesn’t match the
valid reading length, the imager will issue an error beep. You may wish
to set the same value for minimum and maximum length to force the
imager to read fixed length bar code data. This helps reduce the chances
of a misread.

EXAMPLE: Decode only those bar codes with a count of 9-20 charac-

ters.
Min. length = 09Max. length = 20

EXAMPLE: Decode only those bar codes with a count of 15 charac-

ters.
Min. length = 15Max. length = 15

For a value other than the minimum and maximum message length
defaults, scan the bar codes included in the explanation of the symbol­ogy, then scan the digit value of the message length and

ISBT 128 Concatenation

In 1994 the International Society of Blood Transfusion (ISBT) ratified a
standard for communicating critical blood information in a uniform
manner. The use of ISBT formats requires a paid license. The ISBT 128
Application Specification describes 1) the critical data elements for label­ing blood products, 2) the current recommendation to use Code 128
due to its high degree of security and its space-efficient design, 3) a varia­tion of Code 128 that supports concatenation of neighboring symbols,
and 4) the standard layout for bar codes on a blood product label. Use
the bar codes below to turn concatenation on or off. Default =Off.
