Chapter 1

Getting Started

The linear imager uses a 16-bit processor and enhanced image processing algorithms to attain industry-leading speeds of 450 scans per second. Depth of field performance allows scanning of a low resolution shipping label at a distance of 1.5 meters. Even poor quality bar codes are readable with this scanner. Bright environments such as direct sunlight or welllighted retail environments are not a problem; the linear imager provides accurate scans in strong ambient light up to 75,000 LUX.

The unit is built to withstand tough industrial environments with a durable rubber overmolding to protect all contact points and an IP52 protection rating. The linear imager is lightweight at 5.64 ounces (160 grams) and has an ergonomic comfort grip for ease of use.

Bluetooth Models

The following features and descriptions apply only to Bluetooth (BT) models of the imager.

Linking an Imager with a Base Station

Follow these instructions to link the two devices:

1. Connect power to the Base Station. The radio LED (marked with an antenna symbol) will blink amber and the Base Station will beep.

2. To ensure the Base Station is unlinked from any other imagers, press the button located on its bottom side for three seconds.

3. Place the imager in the Base Station for one minute to get a small charge in the battery.

4. Read the label on the Base Station with the imager. The imager will sound a good read beep and the LED will flash amber.

5. Replace the imager in the Base Station to continue the charge.

Once an imager is linked to a Base Station, they will remain linked until specific action is taken to unlink them (see linked if the Base Station is unplugged, if the battery is removed from the imager or if the entire charge is used up, and if the imager is taken out of range of the Base Station. Under normal operation, scanning of the link label will only be required once in the life of the product.

Unlinking). They will remain

Bluetooth Models

Unlinking

There are three ways to unlink an imager from a Base Station:

Unlink and Sleep

1. Scan the “Unlink and Sleep” bar code — Reading the unlink bar code above while the imager is in range of the Base Station will break the link between the two devices and allow another imager to link to the Base Station. It will also place the imager in Sleep Mode. If the bar code is read when the imager is out of range of its linked Base Station, the imager will unlink, but the Base Station will remain linked to the imager and will not allow another imager to be linked to it until the unlink button is pressed, the original imager is brought in range, linked, and then unlinked again.

Push the button on the bottom of the Base Station — Pushing the but-

2. ton on the Base Station while the imager is in range will break the link between the devices. If the button is pushed while the imager is out of range, the Base Station will unlink and make itself available to other imagers. The imager will not automatically break its link with the Base Station, but can be linked to any other Base Station by reading its link label .

Scan the link label on an alternate Base Station — Scanning the link

3. label on a Base Station with an imager that is linked with another Base Station will drop the link between the original pair and establish a link between the imager and the new Base Station. If the new link is performed within range of the old Base Station, it is free to establish a link to the next imager that reads its link label. If it is done outside the range of the old Base Station, it retains its old link and will not allow a new imager to link to it until its unlink button is pressed.

The imager contains a 1000mAh Lithium-Ion rechargeable battery. A fully charged battery will provide up to 12,000 scans over a 12 hour period. Actual charge life on the imager will depend on the configuration of the how the imager is configured via the programable features in this manual; in particular, impact battery life.

When the imager is placed in the Base Station, the battery will automatically charge. While charging is taking place, the charging LED (marked with a battery symbol) will blink green. When the battery is fully charged, the charging LED will stay on a solid green.

If there is an error in charging either with a failure in the charging circuit or with a failure of the battery, the charging LED will flash red. When this happens, the battery should be replaced

Deep Sleep Mode and Leash Alarm settings can

Paging the Imager

If the imager is misplaced in the area around the Base Station, it can be located by momentarily pressing the button on the bottom of the Base Station. When the button is momentarily pressed, a message is sent to the imager instructing it to sound a series of six short beeps. If the imager is out of range of the Base Station or in Deep Sleep Mode, paging will not work.

Data Editing

Data Editing Overview

It is not recommended to use these features with IBM 46xx or IBM interfaces.

CAUTION

When a bar code is scanned, additional information can be sent to the host computer along with the bar code data. This combination of bar code data and supplementary user-defined 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, after, and even between scanned data. You can specify if they should be sent with all symbologies, or only with specific symbologies.

Figure 5-1 shows the available elements you can add to a message string:

Figure 5-1. Breakdown of a Message String

Code Length Transmission: A number of data digits can be transmitted before the code data. The total length of the bar code is the number of characters of bar code data without truncated leading or ending digits.

Prefix

Code ID Transmission: Enable this option to transmit the code ID. See page ?.

Symbology Name: This function is used to identify and display the scanned bar code's symbology (from among any of the symbologies readable by the imager). When enabled, the code name (symbology) will be transmitted before the bar code data.

Symbology, I.D. and Code Length

Useful information, such as the scanned bar code’s symbology type, code I.D. and character length can all be variously added to the message string. The following are descriptions for each of these elements:

Symbology —

This function is used to identify and display the scanned bar code's symbology name (from among any of the symbologies readable by the imager). When enabled, the code name (symbology) will be transmitted in a position before the bar code data.

Code I.D. —

The Code I.D. is an alpha-numeric code representing the bar code (symbology) type. It can be appended previous to and/or following the transmitted bar code data depending upon how this feature is enabled.

An extra step is required in enabling this feature. Selection of Code I.D. Positon (either before or after bar code data) must be made PRIOR to selecting either Propri-
