Programming
Specific cables are required for connection to different hosts. The
connectors illustrated above are examples only. Actual connectors
may vary from those illustrated, but the steps to connect the imager
NOTE
remain the same.
The imager is typically factory-configured with a set of default features standard to the
interface type you ordered. After scanning the interface barcode from the Interfaces section, you can select other options and customize your imager through use of the instructions and programming barcodes available in the corresponding features section for your
interface and also the Data Editing and Symbologies chapters of this manual.
Product Reference Guide7
Getting Started
Using the Programming Barcodes
This manual contains feature descriptions and barcodes which allow you to reconfigure
your imager. Some programming barcode labels, like the Standard Product Default Set-
tings on page 9
, require only the scan of that single label to enact the change. Most of
the programming labels in this manual, however, require the imager to be placed in Programming Mode prior to scanning them. Scan an ENTER/EXIT barcode once to enterProgramming Mode. Once the imager is in Programming Mode, you can scan a number
of parameter settings before scanning the ENTER/EXIT barcode a second time, which
will then accept your changes, exit Programming Mode and return the imager to normal
operation.
NOTE
Select the Interface Type
Upon completing the physical connection between the imager and its host, proceed directly to Interfaces on page 11 for information and programming for the interface type
the imager is connected to (for example: RS-232, Keyboard Wedge, USB, etc.) and scan
the appropriate barcode in that section to select your system’s correct interface type.
There are some exceptions to the typical programming sequence
described above. Please read the description and setting instructions carefully when configuring each given programmable feature.
Configure Interface Settings
The imager is typically factory-configured with a set of default features standard to the
interface type you ordered. If after scanning the interface barcode from the Interfaces
section, your installation requires you to select options to further customize your imager,
turn to the appropriate section for your interface type as listed below:
•RS-232 ONLY Interface, starting on page 41
•Keyboard Interface, starting on page 67
•USB-OEM Interface, starting on page 81
•IBM 46XX Interface, starting on page 83
Configure Other Features
If your installation requires different programming than the standard factory default settings, the following sections of this manual allow configuration of non-interface-specific
settings you might require:
General Features
LED indicators and other such universal settings.
Symbologies
These settings allow you to enable/disable symbologies, set label lengths, require check
digit, etc.
—
Includes options concerning the barcode label types (symbologies).
—
General Features includes programming for scanning, beeper and

Configuring the Interface
Scan the programming barcode from this section which selects the appropriate interface
type matching the system the reader will be connected to. Next, proceed to the corresponding chapter in this manual (also listed in Table 1) to configure any desired settings
and features associated with that interface.
NOTE
Unlike some other programming features and options, interface
selections require that you scan only one programming barcode
label. DO NOT scan an ENTER/EXIT barcode prior to scanning an
interface selection barcode.
Some interfaces require the scanner to start in the disabled state
when powered up. If additional scanner configuration is desired
while in this state, pull the trigger and hold it for five seconds. The
scanner will change to a state that allows programming with barcodes.

This feature sets the time after the last label segment is seen before the reader prepares for
a new label. The timeout can be set within a range of 10 milliseconds to 2,550 milliseconds (2.55 seconds) in 10ms increments. Label Gone Timeout does not apply to scan
modes that require a trigger pull for each label that is read
Follow these instructions to set this feature:
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 three digits. For example: 0 = 000, 5 = 005, 20 = 020, etc.
3. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE barcode to enter Programming
Mode.
4. Scan the barcode: SELECT LABEL GONE TIMEOUT SETTING.
5. Scan the appropriate three alpha-numeric characters from the keypad in Appendix E, Key-
pad representing the duration which was determined in the steps above. You will hear a
two-beep indication after the last character.

Scanning Features
Scan Mode
Selects the scan operating mode for the reader. Selections are:
Scanning Features
Trigger Single —
When the trigger is pulled, scanning is activated until one of the fol-
lowing occurs:
- Scanning Active Time has elapsed
- a label has been read
- the trigger is released
This mode is associated with typical handheld reader operation: when the trigger is
pulled, scanning starts and the product scans until the trigger is released, or a label is read,
or the maximum Scanning Active Time has elapsed.
Trigger Hold Multiple —
When the trigger is pulled, scanning starts and the product
scans until the trigger is released or Scanning Active Time has elapsed. Reading a label does
not disable scanning. Double Read Timeout prevents undesired multiple reads of the same
label while in this mode.
Trigger Pulse Multiple —
When the trigger is pulled, continuous scanning is activated
until Scanning Active Time has elapsed or the trigger has been released and pulled again.
Double Read Timeout1 prevents undesired multiple reads of the same label while in this
mode.
Flashing —
The reader flashes1 on and off regardless of the trigger status. Flash rate is
controlled by Flash On Time and Flash Off Time. When Flash is ON the imager reads continuously. When Flash is OFF scanning is deactivated.
Always On —
No trigger pull is required to read a barcode. Scanning is continually on.
If the trigger is pulled, the reader acts as if it is in Trigger Single Mode. Double Read
Timeout1 prevents undesired multiple reads of the same label while in this mode.
Stand Mode —
No trigger pull is required to read a barcode. Scanning is turned on automatically when an item is placed in reader’s field of view. If the trigger is pulled, the
reader acts as if it in single read mode. Double Read Timeout1 prevents undesired multiple
reads of the same label while in this mode.
Trigger Object Sense —
This mode is similar to Stand Mode, except that a trigger pull
is required to activate the decoder.

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:

It is not recommended to use these features with IBM interfaces.

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.
Figure 4. Prefix and Suffix Positions
PrefixSuffixAIM IDLabel IDLabel IDBar Code Data
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
24. To enter this selection code, scan the ‘2’ and ‘4’ barcodes from Appendix E, Key-
pad.

Global AIM ID
AIM label identifiers (as opposed to custom characters you select yourself as with label
identifiers) can be included with scanned barcode data. AIM label identifiers consist of
three characters as follows:
•A close brace character (ASCII ‘]’), followed by...
•A code character (see the table below), followed by...
•A modifier character (the modifier character is symbol dependent).
