1.1 Reading Bar Codes

Turn on the BHT power, bring the bar-code reading window to the bar code to be scanned, and press the trigger switch. The BHT emits a laser light to indicate the scanning range and turns on the illumination LED to scan the bar code. Keep the BHT in a position where the bar code lies within the scanning range indicated by the laser light (marker).

When the BHT has read the bar code successfully, the indicator LED will illuminate in green.

Bar code scanning range indicated by the laser light

Max. 40 cm (15.7")**

Trigger switch (M3 key)*

* The trigger switch function is

assigned to both of the M3 and M4 keys by default.)

• If the BHT fails to read due to specular effects or other

factors, change the scanning angle of the reading window or the distance from codes as shown at right, and try it again. (Specular effects occur when the reflection of the light from the bar code becomes excessively strong. This can easily happen when the reflecting surface is polished or covered with vinyl.)

• The laser light indicates the scanning range as a guide. The indicated scanning

range will deviate a little bit from the actual one. Keep the BHT so that the laser light comes to almost the center of the bar code height.

• The BHT can read bar codes at a maximum distance of 40 cm (15.7")** from the

bar-code reading window. (**For details about the scanning conditions, refer to the Appendix A.)

NOTE

TIP

•

Before reading bar codes, clean those labels if stained.

•

Avoid using the BHT in direct sunlight. The BHT might fail to read correctly.

•

To read bar codes on curved surfaces, apply the BHT to the target bar code so that the code comes to the center of the scanning range indicated by the laser beam.

•

When you pull the bar-code reading window away from the bar codes, the actual scanning range will become narrower than the range covered by the laser beam.

•

The light intensity of the laser light or illumination LED will vary depending upon the scanning conditions and variation of their elements.

1.4 Using the Keypad

■ Entering Numerical Data

To enter numerical data, e.g., the quantity of goods, use the ten numerical keys and the ENT key.

For example, to enter the number "120," press the 1 , 2 and 0 keys and then press the ENT key.

26-key pad: If you key in any wrong value, press the C key or BS key and then enter the correct one.

32-key pad: If you key in any wrong value, press the C key or SF + C keys and then enter the correct one.

■ Selecting Tasks

If the LCD shows the selection items (xxx) prefixed by numerals (e.g., 1: xxx, 2: xxx), use the numerical keys to select a desired item and press the ENT key to execute.

If a YES/NO screen (e.g., 1: YES, 2: NO) appears, press the 1 key for YES response and 2 key for NO response.

■ Entering Alphabetic Characters

The BHT-7000 supports the alphabet input function which allows you to enter alphabetic characters, space, and symbols from the keypad during execution of a user program. For the alphabet input procedure, refer to the "BHT-BASIC Programmer's Manual."

Page 22

1.5 Communicating via the Optical In-

terface

■ Optical Communications with the BHT-7000

The BHT-7000 communicates using an IR beam, so make sure that there is no obstruction in the light path between the BHT-7000 and any target stations.

In the IrDA communications mode, you need to keep the BHT-7000 and any target stations within the effective light emission range, usually 10 to 80 cm (3.94 to 31.50'').

■ Communicating with the CU-7000

The optional CU-7000 is an IrDA-compliant communications unit. For optical communications, put the BHT-7000 directly on the CU-7000 as shown below.

■ Communicating with other IrDA-compliant equipment

You can also have the BHT-7000 communicate with other IrDA-compliant equipment just by aligning their IR ports with each other. The effective IR range and IR port angle may differ depending upon the target equipment, so observe the instructions given in manuals furnished with such equipment.

If transfer using the BHT-7000 fails, bring it closer to the target station or change the IR port angle, and try again.

NOTE

Communications failures might be caused by highly intensive light emitted from ceiling (inverter-driven fluorescent) lamps or direct sunlight. Take care to prevent such interference light from coming into the optical interface ports of the BHT7000 and IrDA-compliant equipment, including the CU-7000.

Do not use any TV remote control in the vicinity of the IR communications system. Doing so may interfere with the communications.

Chapter 2. Getting Started the BHT-7000 and System Mode

■ CU-7000 and RS-232C Interface Cable (option)

The CU-7000 is an IrDA-compliant communications unit which is required when your host computer is not equipped with an IrDA interface port. The CU-7000 exchanges data and programs with the BHT-7000 optically, and with the host computer via the RS-232C interface cable.

You may directly connect two BHT-7000s with each other by using a commercially available metal cable having 3-pole mini stereo plugs (as a direct-connect interface cable). You also connect the BHT-7000 directly with the host computer or with the modem by using the direct-connect interface cable compatible with the target equipment. (NOTE: The direct-connect interface port of the BHT-7000 is not designed to stand frequent connecting/disconnecting. You are, therefore, recommended to use the CU-7000 where you expect to do a lot of connecting and disconnecting of the BHT7000 to/from a host computer.)

■ BHT-BASIC Compiler (option)

This Compiler compiles a source program written in BHT-BASIC by an editor of the host computer running the MS-DOS, into the object program (user program) which can be used in the BHT-7000. The compiled and linked program file is named "XXX.PD3." (XXX: File name you can set arbitrarily under the MS-DOS rules) You should download it to the BHT-7000 by using Ir-Transfer Utility C/Ir-Transfer Utility E/Transfer Utility.

■ Ir-Transfer Utility C (option)

Running on the host computer, this utility transfers files between the BHT-7000 and the host computer. For its file transfer control procedure, the utility uses the BHT-Ir protocol. (For the details about the BHT-Ir protocol, refer to Chapter 3, Subsection

3.3.2.)

To transfer files under any of the following conditions, use Ir-Transfer Utility C:

- At transmission speeds of 115200 or 57600 bps (This may be impossible depending upon the host computer type.)

- Via the CU-7000

- When transferring via the direct-connect interface of the BHT-7000

■ JIS Level 1 and Level 2 Font Files

These files contain font data required for displaying Kanji characters on the LCD.

The BHT-7000 can display the Kanji characters not only in the conventional standardsize font (16 dots wide by 16 dots high) but also in the small-size font (12 dots wide by 12 dots high) in application programs. It can also display the double-width Kanji characters of those 16-dot and 12-dot fonts in application programs.

TIP

If you do not need to display Kanji characters, you may delete these JIS font files. After deletion, the memory area which was occupied by these files can be used as a user area. For the deleting procedure, refer to Section 2.5, “Initializing the BHT7000 System” or Subsection 2.6.3, “[ 7 ] Deleting Files.”

The names of the JIS font files are:

FNT16J1.FN3 (JIS Level 1 font, 16-dot) FNT16J2.FN3 (JIS Level 2 font, 16-dot) FNT12J1.FN3 (JIS Level 1 font, 12-dot) FNT12J2.FN3 (JIS Level 2 font, 12-dot)

■ User Programs

You can develop application programs to meet individual job requirements by using

the BHT-BASIC Compiler. To download those user programs to the BHT-7000, use Ir-

2.2 Infrared Communications

The BHT-7000 has an integrated infrared (IR) communications device which enables wireless transfer of programs and data between the BHT-7000 and the host computer and between the BHT-7000s, instead of the conventional wire transfer.

Host computer

BHT-7000

The IR communications device features the following:

• Wireless communications

• Small and lightweight design

• High transmission speed

• Freedom from the codes/regulations and licenses which differ from country to country, unlike radio devices

The BHT-7000's IR communications device is IrDA-compliant. IrDA stands for Infrared Data Association, which has defined hardware (IrDA Serial Infrared Physical Layer Link) and communications protocols for IR communications.

Page 30

The BHT-7000's physical layer complies with the IrDA1.0, with a maximum transfer distance of 0.8 m and maximum transmission rate of 115.2 kbits per second.

The BHT-7000 adopts the exclusive BHT-Ir protocol which allows you to develop user programs for IR communications in BHT-BASIC, as can be done with conventional wire communications.

NOTE TIP

NOTE

Never charge the dry battery cartridge.

The BHT-7000 has an integrated backup power source which backs up the memory and calendar clock in the BHT-7000 when no battery cartridge is loaded or the voltage level of the battery cartridge drops below the specified level. The backup power source is automatically charged by the battery cartridge.

When you first load the battery cartridge after purchase or you load it after leaving the BHT-7000 unused for a long time, do not remove the battery cartridge for 10 minutes or more after that loading. This is for charging the memory backup source integrated in the BHT-7000.

Be sure to power off the BHT-7000 before battery replacement. Replace the battery cartridge quickly. Load a charged battery cartridge within 3 minutes from the removal of the cartridge in order to avoid data loss.

After battery replacement, power on the BHT-7000 and check its operation.

If you leave the BHT-7000 with no battery cartridge loaded for a long time, the memory contents will no longer be backed up so that the message "Contact your administrator. Note the error number. (XXXX)" or "Set the current date and time." may appear on the LCD.

If you will not be using the BHT-7000 for a long time, follow the instructions given in Subsection 2.4.4, "Battery Replacement Notes."

NOTE

When disposing of the battery cartridge, cover the terminal pins with vinyl tape to prevent short-circuit.

Avoid storing the battery cartridge in a hot place. The battery capacity may be decreased.

Do not touch the charge terminals of the battery cartridge by hand or stain those terminals. Doing so could result in a charging failure.

■ Checking the Battery Voltage Level

The battery voltage level is always displayed on the status indicator line.

(For details, refer to Subsection 2.4.3, "Adjusting the LCD Contrast & Beeper Volume, Switching the Beeper & Vibrator, and Checking the Battery Voltage Level," [ 2 ].)

Page 36

■ Low Battery Indication

Low battery indication—Level 1

If the battery output voltage drops below a specified lower level limit while the BHT7000 is in operation, the BHT-7000 displays the following level 1 message for approx. 2 seconds and beeps three times. After that, it will resume previous regular operation.

Battery voltage has lowered.

The service life of the battery cartridge will expire soon. If the BHT-7000 is driven by the lithium-ion battery cartridge, recharge or replace it; if it is driven by the dry battery cartridge, replace the dry batteries.

Low battery indication—Level 2

If you continue to use the BHT-7000 without recharge or battery replacement after the level 1 message appears, the BHT-7000 displays the following level 2 message, beeps five times, and then turns itself off.

(When driven by the lithium-ion battery cartridge)

Charge the battery!

(When driven by the dry battery cartridge)

Replace the batteries!

If the BHT-7000 is driven by the lithium-ion battery cartridge, recharge or replace it; if it is driven by the dry battery cartridge, replace the dry batteries.

Page 37

Chapter 2. Getting Started the BHT-7000 and System Mode

Black-and-white inverted label reading function (INVERT)

This function makes it possible to read white bars on a black background.

NOTE

Activating this function might increase the frequency of bar-code reading errors. This function can usually be set to OFF.

DECODE LEVEL

You may set the decode level. Decreasing the level value increases the bar-code reading efficiency, but the BHT-7000 might misread low-quality bar codes (split or stained). To the contrary, increasing the level value decreases the bar-code reading efficiency, but it will disminish the possibility of misreading.

The setting range of the level value is from 1 to 9 and the default is 4.

, and keys, respectively

Page 67

Chapter 2. Getting Started the BHT-7000 and System Mode

Minimum number of digits to be read for ITF, STF, or CODABAR (MINIMUM DIGITS)

You may determine the minimum number of digits to be read for ITF, STF, and CODABAR. Setting a small number of digits increases the frequency of digit-missing reading or misreading depending upon how to scan bar codes or the quality of bar codes. On the other hand, setting a large number will diminish the possibility of those errors.

The setting range is from 2 to 20 for ITF, from 1 to 20 for STF, and from 3 to 20 for CODABAR. The default is 4 for ITF and CODABAR, and 2 for STF.

MARKER

You may select either of the following ON/OFF modes of a laser beam (marker) which indicates the scanning range:

0: Normal mode (in which the laser and illumination LED come on at the same time at

the time of scanning)

1: OFF mode (in which no laser comes on)

TIP

Even if the MARKER is set to 0 (Normal mode), the marker will not come on when the read mode is set to the alternate switching mode or continuous reading mode.
