Bluetooth® Wireless Communication Link

The scanner GT10B-SB/LB uses Bluetooth® wireless networking technology.

Item Specifications

Standard Bluetooth® Specification Ver. 1.1

Radio output Class 2 (maximum 2.5 mW)

Profile(s) supported Serial port profile

Communications range (reference value*1) Max. 10 m, with no obstructions

*1 This value is for wireless networking between the scanner and the BA10-RKU Bluetooth® adapter. The communications

range varies with the equipment used and the operating environment.

Wireless networking requires a stable radio environment. Not all operating environments provide this. In particular,
note that

• Using the scanner in close proximity to other wireless LAN equipment operating in the same frequency band (2.4

GHz) risks radio interference that can reduce throughput or even entirely block wireless networking.

• Microwave ovens, industrial heating equipment, high-frequency medical equipment, and other equipment using the

2.4 GHz band can sometimes block wireless networking.

• Electromagnetic noise from computers, refrigerators, and other home appliances can sometimes block wireless

networking.

• The following environments can sometimes block wireless networking.

- Metal objects or particles in the vicinity

- Metal walls around the area

- Excessive vibration

• The communications range of 10 m given above is merely a reference value assuming a clear line of sight. Reliable

wireless networking is by no means guaranteed at 10 m for all combinations of equipment used and operating
environments. Some combinations might even work for greater distances, but be sure to confirm that the scanner
link operates properly before introducing the link operation.

NOTE: To System Designers:

• Before developing applications, make sure that the intended environment is free of the interference factors

above and thus actually capable of supporting link operation.

• When introducing the scanner into an environment where equipment using radio waves in the 2.4 GHz

band operates or when introducing such equipment after the introduction of the scanner, be sure to confir
that the scanner radio link operates properly with all equipment being in operation beforehand.

• If the environment of the radio communications system is changed after the introduction (e.g., newly

installed household appliances and movement/addition of shelves or objects), then confirm that the radio
link operates properly again before the actual use.

ix

Care and Maintenance

Dust and other foreign matter on the clear plate of the reading window can impede bar code input, so regularly check
for it and remove it as the usage environment warrants.

• To clean the plate, first blow the dust away with an airbrush. Then gently wipe the plate with a cotton swab or the

similar soft one.

• If sand or hard particles have accumulated, never rub the plate; doing so will scratch or damage it. Blow the

particles away with an airbrush or a soft brush.

Chapter 2 Bluetooth Interface

For terms relating to Bluetooth wireless communication in this manual, refer to Appendix 3 "Bluetooth Glossary."

2.1 Enabling Bluetooth Interface

Using the scanner for the first time or any other time that the "End operation" is selected requires scanning the
following "Start operation" bar code to start operation. Scanning it enables the Bluetooth



interface.

Start operation

Note: Always disable this scanner's Bluetooth interface in hospitals, aircraft, and other environments where the
Bluetooth



radio waves (2400 MHz to 2483.5 MHz, maximum 2.5 mW) present a potential safety risk.

This scanner interprets the following bar code as a command to disable the Bluetooth



interface.

End operation

Note: When the scanner leaves the factory or it has scanned the "End operation" bar code, it cannot read bar codes
except the "Start operation" bar code.

- Scanning the "Break Bluetooth

- Pressing the magic key to break the Bluetooth

- Customizing the scanner with the configuration software (ScannerSetting)

- "Reconnect request" dialog being displayed by the configuration software (ScannerSetting)

- Replacing the battery cartridge

- Failure to automatically reconnect within the specified time

If the Bluetooth



wireless link breaks for some reason other than the above--degraded radio wave conditions, or loss
of power to the Bluetooth

(3) Wait for the indicator LED to turn blue and the beeper to sound, indicating a successful read.



Note: While establishing a Bluetooth

wireless link, the scanner does not allow reading in things other than

bar-coded parameter menu entries.

Note: The effective scan range is less than the full illumination range.
The effective scan range depends on the model and the distance from the scanner to the target.

GT10B-SB: approximately 10 cm (3.94") for a scan distance of 7 cm (2.76")
GT10B-LB: approximately 17 cm (6.69") for a scan distance of 18 cm (7.09")

Note: Having more than one bar code within the field of view either causes the read to fail or produces multiple
input.

Note: Bar code orientation (right side up or upside down) does not matter as long as the margins are well within
the field of view.

Note: It is sometimes necessary to vary the scanning angle or distance to eliminate reflections of the illumination
and ambient light off highly reflective labels.

 Reading RSS-14 Stacked and RSS-14 Stacked Omnidirectional symbols

The scanner reads RSS-14 Stacked and RSS-14 Stacked Omnidirectional symbols in two steps. In the 1st step, it scans
either one of the 1st and 2nd rows of the target symbol and accumulates the data in itself. In the 2nd step, it scans the
remaining row, edits the 1st and 2nd row data read, and then sends the data to the host.

To inform the user that the 1st or 2nd row data has accumulated in the scanner, the scanner emits a one-shot beep by
default. Upon completion of a successful read of the remaining row, the scanner emits a short beep just as upon
completion of a read of any other type of bar code.

To discard the accumulated data halfway through a sequence of scanning, turn off the illumination LED. In the
continuous reading mode or auto sensing mode, however, move the illumination away from the target symbol.

9

 Switching to sleep mode for power saving

After completion of scanning, the scanner switches from standby to sleep mode to save power. The scanner in sleep
mode takes more time to start and complete a sequence of scanning operation than the one on standby. Select the
transition period from standby to sleep mode to meet your scanning intervals, using the configuration software
(ScannerSetting).

Transition period from standby to sleep mode

to sleep mode.

This setting is useful for operations with longer scanning
intervals, e.g., 5 minutes or more.

5 seconds

After completion of scanning, the scanner waits for the specified
period and then switches to sleep mode.

This setting is useful for intermittent scanning. Select a transition
period suitable for your scanning intervals.

Disable The scanner does not switch to sleep mode after completion of

scanning.

This setting is useful for operations with shorter scanning
intervals, 5 seconds or less or when the scanning speed should
have priority over the power saving.

Note: Selecting a longer transition period or disabling switching to sleep mode shortens the operation time of the
battery cartridge.

Chapter 4 Customizing the Scanner

You can customize the scanner by modifying communications, bar code type, and other scanner parameters with the
bar-coded parameter menu or the configuration software ScannerSetting*. These parameters retain their settings even
when the power is off.



TIP: The scanner can hold not only its own parameter settings but also Bluetooth
memory and customize the Bluetooth



adapter via the Bluetooth wireless link. There are two types of bar-coded

parameter menus available for scanners (Section 13.2) and Bluetooth adapters (Section 14.2).

configured as a master.

(This software also offers batch-process bar code printouts for read by scanners in the field.)

* Registered users can download the configuration software (ScannerSetting)

from QBdirect, their customer support

section on the Denso Wave website at no extra charge.
For further details on QBdirect or to register, visit the following URL.
http://www.qbdirect.net

Note: Customizing the scanner with the configuration software or batch-process bar code symbols breaks the
Bluetooth



wireless link, so it is necessary to establish the link again after customizing.

Note: When the "End operation" is selected with the scanner, no parameter setting is possible. Prior to starting
parameter setting, therefore, be sure to scan the "Start operation" bar code. See Chapter 2 for the "Start operation"
and "End operation" bar codes.

Note: When even the scanner is being charged or discharged, you can customize it with the configuration software
except when the "End operation" is selected. Note that customizing the scanner during discharge cancels
discharging and starts charging instead.

Chapter 5 Scanning Control

Two types of scanning controls are available—Trigger switch control and Software control.

Trigger switch control: Pressing the trigger switch readies the scanner for scanning.

Software control: Instead of pressing the trigger switch, you send control commands from the host computer via the
USB-COM interface to ready the scanner for scanning or put the scanner on standby.

5.1 Trigger Switch Control

Pressing the trigger switch turns on the illumination LED and readies the scanner for scanning. The scanner supports
the following five trigger switch operating modes. Select the one that best meets your needs using the bar-coded
parameter menu or the configuration software (ScannerSetting).

(1) Auto-off mode 1

Holding down the trigger switch lights the illumination LED for the specified period (selectable from 1 to 5 seconds in
one second increments with the configuration software), during which the scanner is ready to scan.

When a bar code is read successfully or the specified period has elapsed, the illumination LED goes off and the
scanner switches to standby.

(2) Auto-off mode 2

If you press the trigger switch, the illumination LED lights for approx. 5 seconds during which the scanner is ready to
scan, regardless of whether a bar code is read successfully or the trigger switch is released.

After a bar code is read successfully, the ready-to-scan state further continues for approx. 5 seconds.

If the scanner is left without scanning operation for approx. 5 seconds, it turns off the illumination LED and switches
to standby.

(3) Momentary switching mode 1 (Factory default)

Only while you hold down the trigger switch, the illumination LED lights and the scanner is ready to scan.

When you release the trigger switch or a bar code is read successfully, the illumination LED goes off and the scanner
switches to standby.

(4) Momentary switching mode 2

Only while you hold down the trigger switch, the illumination LED lights and the scanner is ready to scan, regardless
of whether a bar code is read successfully.

When you release the trigger switch, the illumination LED goes off and the scanner switches to standby.

(5) Continuous reading mode

When you turn the scanner on, the scanner lights the illumination LED and becomes ready to scan. The scanner
ignores all trigger switch input.

Note: The scanner automatically enters the momentary switching mode 1 regardless of the current trigger switch
operating mode when:

- the scanner is being customized with the bar-coded parameter menu

- the "End operation" is selected

- the Bluetooth

Note: The trigger switch is disabled as long as the scan lock (see Section 7.1.3) is in effect in the data verification
mode.

5.2 Software Control

You can control the scanner by sending scanning control commands from the host computer, instead of pressing the
trigger switch.

Scanning control commands include R, READON, LON, RC, Z, READOFF and LOFF and they are restricted by the
trigger switch operating mode, as listed below. In momentary switching mode 1, for example, the RC command is
invalid. In auto-off mode 2 and momentary switching mode 2, all of these commands are invalid.

the command control, producing the operation specified for the trigger switch.

Notification of a scanning failure

If the scanner fails to read a bar code and switches to standby in auto-off mode 1 or momentary switching mode 1, it
can send the following two types of notification data (cancel or error) to the host computer.

5.3 Auto Sensing Mode—Automatic Detection of Labels

In the auto sensing mode, bringing a code label within the scan range of the reading window turns on the illumination
LED and starts the scanner reading the bar code. No trigger switch operation is required. Use this mode when the
scanner is stationary to a stand and a bar code label is moved.

The illumination LED comes on when you bring a bar code label within the designated range or move a bar code label
within the same range. The LED goes off when a bar code label is moved away from the range or stays within the
range without move for approx. 5 seconds.

The scanner offers a choice of three sensitivity levels for responding to bar codes--High, Medium, and Low. Switch to
a higher sensitivity level if the illumination LED will not come on when a bar code is brought into the range, for
example.

Note: Even if you do not bring a bar code label within the scan range, the illumination LED may come on when
the ambient level of light changes or any shadows move within the scan range.

Note: Even if you do not bring a bar code label within the scan range, the illumination LED may come on when
the ambient level of light changes or any shadows move within the scan range.

Note: Given below is a guide for scanning EAN-13 symbols in auto sensing mode under these conditions: At the
center of the effective scan range and at the ambient illuminance of 500 lux or higher.

GT10B-SB: Scan distance of approx. 21 cm (8.27")
GT10B-LB: Scan distance of approx. 40 cm (15.75")

Note: It is sometimes necessary to vary the scanning angle or distance to eliminate reflections of the illumination
and ambient light off highly reflective labels.

5.4 Reading with Scanner Mounted on Charger

A setting enables read operation with the scanner mounted on the charger, drawing its power from the charging pins,
so reading can continue regardless of the battery cartridge's charge level.

The following table shows how the trigger switch operating mode affects charging while this function is in use.
Momentary switch mode 1, for example, allows charging during standby intervals between reads. Configuring for
continuous reading or auto sensing mode, however, disables recharging.

Chapter 6 Magic Key Control

Holding down the magic key breaks Bluetooth® wireless links. Note that, in the data verification mode, it cannot break
those links since the magic key is used to register master data.

The magic key can also act as an auxiliary key for scanning or data transfer. You can assign any of the following five
functions or no function at all to the magic key. Select the function that best meets your needs using the bar-coded
parameter menu or the configuration software (ScannerSetting).

(1) Illumination switching function

Pressing the magic key turns the illumination LED on and off in alternation.

Note that even if the illumination LED is lit by pressing the magic key, the scanner does not become ready to scan. To
make the scanner ready, press the trigger switch.

If the illumination LED has been lit for approx. 3 seconds without completion of a scanning operation, it will
automatically goes off.

Completion of scanning

The illumination
LED comes on.

(2) Data retransfer function

Press the magic key.

Press the trigger switch.

Pressing the magic key retransfers the last data sent. Note, however, that the scanner ignores this command if there is
no such data available--that is, in any of the following cases that follow bar code reading.

- When the scanner has read the "Start operation" or "End operation" bar code

- When you have customized the scanner by modifying the parameters with the configuration software
(ScannerSetting), bar-coded parameter menu, or batch-process bar code symbols

- When the scanner power has been turned off due to the removal/replacement of the battery cartridge or the low
battery.

(3) Specific character transfer function

Pressing the magic key transfers a character string (max. 10 bytes) specified with the configuration software
(ScannerSetting).

(4) Ready/standby switching function

When the trigger switch is in the continuous reading mode, pressing the magic key switches the scanner between
ready-to-scan (illumination LED ON) and standby (illumination LED OFF).

(5) Auto sensing mode switching function

Pressing the magic key toggles between the auto sensing mode and the currently selected trigger switch operating
mode.

(6) Continuous reading mode switching function

Pressing the magic key toggles between the continuous reading mode and the currently selected trigger switch
operating mode.

(7) No function (Disable)

If no function has been assigned to the magic key, pressing the key produces no operation.

17

The following table lists the relationship between the magic key functions and trigger switch operating modes. (It
applies to both the regular read mode and data verification mode.) The "--" indicates that the scanner ignores the
magic key functions assigned. In auto-off mode 1, for example, the ready/standby switching function is ignored.

Chapter 7 Scanning Functions

7.1 Data Verification Mode

The data verification mode verifies the bar code data read against the master data stored in the scanner and reports the
match status with data output.

Data verification read is available in two types--"n-point verification" and "2-point verification."

Selecting the n-point verification requires registering master data only one time for 1:n verification. The scanner
verifies all bar code data read after registration against the master data.

The 2-point verification refers to 1:1 verification. Selecting it requires registering master data each time preceding bar
code scanning. After registration of master data, the scanner reads a bar code, verifies the bar code data read against
the master data and then becomes ready to register new master data. This way, the 2-point verification read alternately
repeats master data registration and bar code scanning.

The master data registration procedure is different in n-point and 2-point verification reads. (See Section 7.1.1.)

The verification parameters can be specified using the bar-coded parameter menu or configuration software
(ScannerSetting). After specifying them, scan a master bar code, and the scanner becomes capable of data verification
read.

*Verification retry after mismatch in 2-point verification

The 2-point verification read provides the "Verification retry after mismatch" option that retries verification against
the same master data. Enabling this option readies the scanner not for registering new master data but for reading a bar
code again if the verification result is a mismatch.

Disabling this option readies the scanner for registering new master data after bar code reading, no matter what the
verification result is.

Note: Any of the following events clears the master data stored in the scanner.

- Scanning the "Start operation" or "End operation" bar code with the scanner.

- Customizing the scanner by modifying the parameters with the configuration software (ScannerSetting) or
batch-process bar code symbols.

- Modifying the "verification start position in data verification mode" or "number of characters to verify, starting
from the verification start position" setting with the bar-coded parameter menu.

- The scanner power is turned off due to the removal/replacement of the battery cartridge or the low battery.

If there is a match: Emits a short beep. Lights in blue. Operates. --

If there is a mismatch: Emits a long beep. Lights in red. -- Operates.

(3) Scan lock

The scan lock function locks the scanner on standby if the verification result is a mismatch. You can enable or disable
this function with the bar-coded parameter menu or configuration software (ScannerSetting).

Once the scanner is locked, it switches to standby regardless of the current trigger switch control selected. The scanner
remains on standby even if the trigger switch is pressed or a ready-to-scan command (R, READON or LON) is
received.

Pressing the magic key or reloading the battery cartridge releases the scan lock.

Note: In the data verification mode, the magic key is used to register a master bar code, not used to break the

7.2 Specifying the Numbers of Digits of Standard 2of5 and Interleaved 2of5 Symbols to

Read, by Scanning Bar Codes

You can specify the numbers of digits of Standard 2of5 and Interleaved 2of5 symbols to read.

First enable the parameter "specification of the number of digits by bar code scanning" by using the bar-coded
parameter menu or configuration software. Then scan Standard 2of5 or Interleaved 2of5 symbols. The numbers of
digits of symbols scanned first and second (after you enable the parameter or turn the scanner on) will be registered in
the memory.

After the registration, the scanner can read only Standard 2of5 or Interleaved 2of5 symbols having either of those
specified numbers of digits.

(Example)

123457

1234567895

987653

98765430

Note: Any of the following events clears the number of digits specified above.

- Scanning the "Start operation" or "End operation" bar code with the scanner.

- Customizing the scanner by modifying the parameters with the configuration software (ScannerSetting),
bar-coded parameter menu, or batch-process bar code symbols.

- The scanner power is turned off due to the removal/replacement of the battery cartridge or the low battery.

Specifying the number of digits readable

First scan: 6-digit Interleaved 2of5 symbol

 Just the bar code type and the number of digits will be stored in the scanner.

The code data will be sent.

Second scan: 10-digit Interleaved 2of5 symbol

 Just the bar code type and the number of digits will be stored in the scanner.

The code data will be sent.

After that, 6-digit and 10-digit Interleaved 2of5 symbols only can be read.

Scanning after setting the number of digits readable

6-digit Interleaved 2of5 bar code

 This bar code can be read.

8-digit Interleaved 2of5 bar code

 This bar code cannot be read.

24

Chapter 8 Data Editing

The scanner can edit bar code data read in the format specified with the configuration software (ScannerSetting) and
transfer it to the host computer.

The format specification parameters retain their settings until the configuration software (ScannerSetting) or
bar-coded parameter menu sets "All defaults."

8.1 Extracting Data

The scanner extracts a part of bar code data read according to the extraction conditions--"Specified number of digits
from head position," "Specified number of digits from tail position," "From the specified start to tail positions," and
"From the specified start to end positions.

The following sample bar code and scanner settings output data as listed below depending upon the extraction
conditions.

- Bar code sample

Bar code type: Code 128, Data read: 1234567890

- Scanner settings

Header: STX, Terminator: ETX, Prefix/Suffix: None, Code ID mark: Type 1,

Transmission of number of digits: 2 digits

(1) Extracting the specified number of digits of data from head position

The number of digits must be within the range from 1 to 99. If the number of digits in bar code data read is less than
the one specified, an error occurs.

(Example)

Number of digits Output data

(2) Extracting the specified number of digits of data from tail position

The number of digits must be within the range from 1 to 99. For example, three digits of data from the tail position
contain "890." If the number of digits in bar code data read is less than the one specified, an error occurs.

(Example)

Number of digits Output data

3 digits [STX]K03123[ETX]

8 digits [STX]K0812345678[ETX]

12 digits Error

3 digits [STX]K03890[ETX]

8 digits [STX]K0834567890[ETX]

12 digits Error

25

(3) Extracting data from the specified start to tail positions

The start position must be within the range from the 2nd to 99th digits. If the number of digits in bar code data read
does not reach the specified start position, an error occurs.

(Example)

Start position Output data

3rd digit [STX]K0834567890[ETX]

8th digit [STX]K03890[ETX]

12th digit Error

(4) Extracting data from the specified start to end positions

The start and end positions must be within the range from 2nd to 99th digits each. The end position must be equal to
or greater than the start position. If the number of digits in bar code data read does not reach the specified start or end
position, an error occurs.

(Example)

Start position End position Output data

3rd digit 7th digit [STX]K0534567[ETX]

8th digit 10th digit [STX]K03890[ETX]

10th digit 11th digit Error

8.2 Substituting Data

The scanner searches for the specified string (max. 10 characters long) in bar code data read, starting from the
specified start position (the head to the 10th position) to the end. If the bar code data contains the specified string, the
scanner substitutes it with the specified substitution string (max. 3 characters long) and transfers it according to the
substitution conditions--"Transferring the substituted element string only," "Transferring the substituted element string
+ bar code data," and "Transferring the substituted full string."

The following sample bar code and scanner settings output data as listed below depending upon the substitution
conditions.

- Bar code sample

Bar code type: Code 128, Data read: 1234567890

- Scanner settings

Header: STX, Terminator: ETX, Prefix/Suffix: None, Code ID mark: Type 1,

Transmission of number of digits: 2 digits

(1) Transferring the substituted element string only

If the bar code data contains the specified substitution string within the specified search area, the scanner transfers the
substituted element string only.

(Example)

Search start position Search string Substitution string Output data

2nd digit 456 A [STX]K01A[ETX]

5th digit 890 XYZ [STX]K03XYZ[ETX]

9th digit 890 XYZ Error

26

(2) Transferring the substituted element string

If the bar code data contains the specified substitution string within the specified search area, the scanner transfers the
substituted element string followed by the bar code data read.

(Example)

Search start position Search string Substitution string Output data

2nd digit 456 A [STX]K11A1234567890[ETX]

5th digit 890 XYZ [STX]K13XYZ1234567890[ETX]

9th digit 890 XYZ Error

(3) Transferring the substituted full string

If the bar code data contains the specified substitution string within the specified search area, the scanner substitutes
the search string with the substitution string and transfers the full string. If it contains two or more search strings, only
the first one is substituted.

(Example)

Search start position Search string Substitution string Output data

2nd digit 456 A [STX]K08123A7890[ETX]

5th digit 890 XYZ [STX]K101234567XYZ[ETX]

9th digit 890 XYZ Error

8.3 Blocksorting Data

The scanner splits bar code data read into a maximum of 5 blocks at the specified split positions and sorts those blocks
in the specified order.

The split position must be specified by the number of digits from the head of bar code data. Specifying the number of
digits exceeding that in the bar code data results in an error.

The following sample bar code and scanner settings output data as listed below depending upon the sorting conditions.

- Bar code sample

Bar code type: Code 128, Data read: 1234567890

- Scanner settings

Header: STX, Terminator: ETX, Prefix/Suffix: None, Code ID mark: Type 1,

Transmission of number of digits: 2 digits

(Example)

3rd and 8th digits Block 2, 1, 3 [STX]K104567812390[ETX]

3rd and 8th digits Block 1, 3 [STX]K0512390[ETX]

27

8.4 Parenthesizing AIs (Application Identifier) in EAN-128 Data

The scanner parenthesizes all AIs contained in EAN-128 data read and transfers the data. (For the definition of AIs,
see Section 8.6.3.)

The following sample bar code and scanner settings output data with AIs parenthesized as listed below.

- Bar code sample

Bar code type: EAN-128, Data read: 0194901234567894110308081303081017040208

- Scanner settings

Header: STX, Terminator: ETX, Prefix/Suffix: None, Code ID mark: Type 1,

Transmission of number of digits: 2 digits

(Example)

Output data

[STX]W48(01)94901234567894(11)030808(13)030810(17)040208[ETX]

8.5 Extracting AI (Application Identifier)-Prefixed Strings from EAN-128 Data

The scanner extracts element strings prefixed with the specified AIs (up to three types of AIs) and separates them with
the specified delimiters (selectable from headers/terminators, commas, and tabs) instead of AIs to transfer them. (For
the definition of AIs, see Section 8.6.3.)

The following sample bar code and scanner settings output data as listed below depending upon the AI conditions.

- Bar code sample

Bar code type: EAN-128, Data read: (01)94901234567894(11)030808(13)030810(17)040208

- Scanner settings

Header: STX, Terminator: ETX, Prefix/Suffix: None, Code ID mark: Type 1,

Transmission of number of digits: 2 digits

(1) Header/terminator

Specifying a header/terminator as a delimiter prefixes a header and suffixes a terminator to each element string
separated.

A prefix, suffix, the number of digits, and code ID mark can be also added to each element string if their transmissions
are enabled. The number of digits is the count in each element string edited.

(Example)

AIs specified Output data

AI1=01, AI2=17 [STX]W1494901234567894[ETX] [STX]W06040208[ETX]

(2) Comma

Specifying a comma as a delimiter outputs comma-delimited data. No comma follows the tail of the data.

A header and terminator are added to the full string. A prefix, suffix, the number of digits, and code ID mark can be
also added to the full string if their transmissions are enabled. The number of digits is the count in the full string
edited.

(Example)

AIs specified Output data

AI1=01, AI2=17 [STX]W2194901234567894,040208[ETX]

28

(3) Tab (ASCII 09h <HT>)

Specifying a tab as a delimiter outputs tab-delimited data. No tab follows the tail of the data.

A header and terminator are added to the full string. A prefix, suffix, the number of digits, and code ID mark can be
also added to the full string if their transmissions are enabled.

Scanners equipped with PS/2 keyboard interfaces also transfer ASCII 09h for tab, instead of TAB key.

(Example)

AIs specified Output data

AI1=01, AI2=17 [STX]W2194901234567894[HT]040208[ETX]

8.6 Data Editing Notes

8.6.1 Data edit conditions

For data editing, the following conditions can be specified.

(1) Code type

All bar code types or an arbitrary bar code type can be specified. This applies to "data extraction," "data

substitution," and "blocksorting."

(2) Code length

None or the maximum number of digits (1 to 99 digits) can be specified.

(3) Enable/disable transmission at the occurrence of an error

The transmission of data that does not match the data editing conditions can be enabled or disabled.

8.6.2 Rules for data editing

Note the following im

portant rules for editing data with this scanner

substitution," and "blocksorting."

(1) Data editing applies to bar code data.

(2) A search string should consist of ASCII characters (00h to 7Fh) and a substitution string, ASCII characters (00h

to FEh).

(3) There can be at most one data editing condition.

(4) Enabling the prefix, suffix, number of digits, and code ID mark settings adds them to the output. Note, however,

that the number of digits is that after editing.

(5) The number of digits includes any check digit--except for Code 93, Code 128, and EAN-128 symbologies.

(6) Disabling check digits still produces them in the output if they are present after editing.

(7) Conversions from the UPC-A format always include the leading character for adjusting the number of transfer

digits and the number system character.

(8) Conversions from the UPC-E format always skip the leading character for adjusting the number of transfer digits

and the number system character. Conversions to the UPC-E format do as well.

(9) Conversions from the EAN-13 format always include the country code. ISBN/ISSN conversions ignore it.

(10) Conversions from EAN-8 to EAN-13 format are ignored.

(11) Conversions from UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN-13, EAN-8, or Interleaved 2of5 (14-digit) to GTIN format are ignored.

. They apply to "data extraction," "data

29

(12) Conversions apply to Codabar start/stop characters and include them in the number of digits.

(13) Conversions force Codabar start/stop characters, if included in the output, to lower case.

(14) Conversions skip Code 39 start/stop characters and do not include them in the number of digits.

(15) The output never contains Code 39 start/stop characters regardless of their settings.

(16) Code 39 full ASCII conversion, if enabled, applies before data editing.

(17) Conversions skip FNC characters in Code 128 and EAN-128 in both the number of digits and the input. The only

exception is with GS conversion of FNC1 characters.

Chapter 9 Beeper, Indicator LED and Vibrator

9.1 Beeper

(1) Beeping

The scanner emits a short, long, one-shot, or intermittent beep to indicate the scanner status as described below. The
intermittent and one-shot beeps apply when the scanner reads an RSS-14 Stacked or RSS-14 Stacked Omnidirectional

9.3 Vibrator

The bar-coded parameter menu and configuration software (ScannerSetting) provide three configuration choices:
indicating successful scanning (OK), indicating an error (NG), and disabled.

"OK" vibrations: The vibrator operates to indicate any of the following OK conditions.

• Successful transmission of the bar code data just read

• In data verification mode, successful registration of master data

• In the data verification mode, a match between the bar code data just read and master data registered

• End of data transmission started by the data transfer or specific character transfer function

• Scanning of "Start setting," "End setting," or parameter setting bar code from the bar-coded parameter menu

(Chapters 13 and 14)

• Start or end of parameter setting with the configuration software (ScannerSetting)

• Scanning of a batch-process bar code symbol generated with the configuration software (ScannerSetting)

"NG" vibrations: The vibrator operates to indicate any of the following failure conditions.

• Wrong check digit(s) with check digits enabled

• Wrong number of digits in data for new master data registration

• In data verification mode, a mismatch between the bar code data just read and master data registered

• Editing error in the specified data editing, resulting in no transfer

Chapter 10 Communication

10.1 Bluetooth Interface

The bar-coded parameter menu and the configuration software (ScannerSetting) provide a choice of various
communications conditions. Under the communications conditions you choose, bar code data read can be transferred
to the external equipment or computer.

(1) Communications protocol

You can select either "Non-acknowledge mode," "ACK/NAK mode," or "Data packaging mode (to host or
BA10-RKU)."

Non-acknowledge mode (default)

The scanner transfers bar code data read, regardless of the CTS signal level.

ACK/NAK mode

The scanner transfers bar code data read, regardless of the CTS signal level. After that, however, it waits for the
response from the host and processes it. The configuration software (ScannerSetting) provides ACK/NAK timeout
settings from 1 to 25 seconds in one-second increments. Models that do not support data packaging (packetizing)
provide ACK/NAK timeout settings from 100 ms to 9.9 seconds in 100 ms increments.

ACK: Normal end
NAK: Retransfer

Data packaging mode

- To BA10-RKU

The scanner wraps the bar code data in a packet with a CRC for transfer to the Bluetooth
see Section 10.3.

- To host

The scanner wraps the bar code data in a packet with a CRC for transfer to a commercially available Bluetooth
device or other equipment. For further details, see Section 10.3.

(2) Timeout period for slave to wait for a connection request

The scanner, as a slave, waits for a connection request from the master for the specified timeout period--2 (default), 4,
10, or 30 minutes.

If the scanner cannot receive a connection request from the master within the specified timeout period, it switches to
standby, the same status as the Bluetooth

(3) Automatic disconnection



If the Bluetooth
Bluetooth



interface is not used for the specified timeout period, the scanner automatically breaks the

wireless link.

You can select the timeout period within the range from 5 to 640 minutes in 5-minute increments and also disable the
automatic disconnection, using the configuration software (ScannerSetting).

(4) Clearing data after Bluetooth

A setting specifies whether the scanner clears transfer data if the Bluetooth
other during a data transfer. Specifying no, the default setting, transmits any data remaining in the transfer buffer once
the Bluetooth
Bluetooth



wireless link is re-established. Note, however, that, regardless of this and other operation settings for



wireless link breaks, transfer data lost in transit is not resent.

(5) Pairing

The scanner does not normally require pairing, but supports it if the target device so requires. Pairing involves sharing
a PIN code. For further details, see Appendix 4.

10.3 Data Packaging (Packetizing)

Data packaging is available to boost the reliability of data transfers over the Bluetooth wireless link from the scanner
to the Bluetooth



adapter (BA10-RKU), commercially available Bluetooth device, or other target device.

Data packaging wraps the bar code data in packets with the following format. After sending a packet, the scanner
waits for a response from the target device. ACK indicates a successful transfer; NAK represents a request to resend.

The scanner configuration software (ScannerSetting) provides ACK/NAK timeout settings from 1 to 25 seconds in
one second intervals.

If there is no response within the specified time limit, the scanner sounds the error beep to indicate that the data
transfer was unsuccessful. The scanner cannot read in a new bar code while it is waiting for a response.

This functionality provides a scanner operator working some distance from the host with better information as to
whether the bar code data has been correctly transmitted to the host. Note, however, that wireless communications are
such that the scanner can sometimes fail to receive ACK (or NAK) responses even when the data has been correctly
transmitted. It is therefore important to use the scanner in an environment supporting stable wireless communications.

 Data transmission format

Header CRC Terminator

DLE STX

Number of

data bytes

Spare Transfer data

Lower half Upper half DLE ETX

The following describes each field in detail.

(1) Header (2 bytes)

This data sequence indicates the start of data packaging (packetizing).

(2) Number of data bytes (2 bytes)

This specifies the number of data bytes in the packet. This number includes everything from the header to the
terminator.

(3) Spare (2 bytes)

This field is for future expansion. The value is currently fixed at 0000h.

(4) Transfer data

This is the data before packetized.

(5) CRC (2 bytes)

This 16-bit CRC is calculated from the "Number of data bytes" through "Transfer data" using the CCITT CRC
polynomial x16+x12+x5+1. The two bytes appear in little-endian order: LSB first, MSB second.

(6) Terminator (2 bytes)

This data sequence indicates the end of data packaging (packetizing).

Note: If DLE (10h) is contained in the data anywhere else other than in the header or terminator, it will be preceded
by another DLE in data transfer. If the connection target is other than the Bluetooth



adapter in data packaging, it is

necessary to delete the added DLE in CRC calculation or data retrieval.

Chapter 11 Charging and Replacing the Battery Cartridge

11.1 Charging and Discharging the Battery Cartridge

When the battery cartridge charge drops to a level requiring recharging, a warning sounds and the indicator LED starts
flashing orange once every five seconds. This flashing continues until the scanner is recharged. Recharge the scanner
as promptly as possible.

Continued use without charging sounds another warning and the scanner turns itself off. Recharge the scanner
immediately.

Some heat generation in the scanner or charger during charging is perfectly normal.

Note: Some scanner firmware has a different response pattern, intermittently sounding a warning at one-second
intervals for 20 seconds and then cutting the power to the scanner. In that case, recharge the scanner immediately.

 Important notes on care and handling

 Use the charger only in locations satisfying the following conditions.

- Ambient temperature of 0 to 40°C (Ambient temperature of 10 to 30°C recommended.)

- Humidity of 20% to 80%

- No dust or excessive vibration

- No splashing of water or other liquids

 Do not leave the charger in direct sunlight, in an automobile, or other location exposed to high temperatures.
 Keep the charger away from telephones, television sets, radios, and other equipment sensitive to electromagnetic

noise.

 Disconnect the charger from the electrical outlet when not in use.
 Occasionally clean the charging pins with a dry cotton swab or similar material. Allowing foreign matter to

accumulate can interfere with proper charging.

 Sudden temperature fluctuations sometimes interfere with proper charging.
 There may be times when the charger charge LED (orange) turns OFF and the scanner indicator LED flashes red

after charging is commenced. This indicates that the rechargeable battery protection function has been activated and
charging can no longer be continued due to such reasons as sudden temperature fluctuations. Either change the
location or try again once the temperature has stabilized.

 Charging procedure

(1) Connect the AC adapter to the charger and then plug it into an electrical outlet.

Confirm that the green power supply LED lights.

(2) Place the scanner in the charger.

The charger's orange charge LED lights and the scanner's indicator LED turns red, indicating the start of charging.

When charging is complete, approximately 2.5 hours later, (if the battery cartridge has been fully discharged), the

charger's orange charge LED goes off and the scanner's indicator LED turns green.

(3) Remove the scanner from the charger and unplug the AC adapter from the electrical outlet

* "Trickle charging" is a slow continuous charge for a battery, which compensates for the slight amount of discharge happening

even when the battery is not in use.

Note: Rechargeable battery cartridges may become inactive if left for long periods of time without use. Use after
repeatedly charging and discharging (refreshing) several times.

 Discharging and recharging (refreshing) procedure

The battery cartridge uses a Ni-MH battery. If it undergoes many cycles of imperfect charging and discharging (e.g.,
one-hour recharge followed by one-hour use), the operation period will become abnormally shortened before the
service life is really expired, just as the battery memorizes the usage conditions. It is called "Memory Effect" or
"Memory Accumulation." The memory effect can be avoided by discharging a Ni-MH battery fully before recharging
(i.e. refreshing) using the following procedure.

(1) Connect the AC adapter to the charger and then plug it into an electrical outlet.

Confirm that the green power supply LED lights.

(2) Place the scanner in the charger.

The charger's orange charge LED lights and the scanner's indicator LED turns red, indicating the start of charging.

(3) Hold down the scanner's trigger switch for approximately 10 seconds.

The charge LED goes off and the indicator LED turns orange, indicating the start of discharging.

When discharging is complete, approximately 10 hours later (if the battery was fully charged), charging

automatically starts. The orange charge LED lights and the indicator LED turns red.

When charging is complete, approximately 2.5 hours later from the start of recharging, the charge LED goes off

and the indicator LED turns green.

(4) Remove the scanner from the charger and unplug the AC adapter from the electrical outlet.

11.2 Replacing the Battery Cartridge

The rechargeable battery cartridge is a consumable part with a finite service life. It is time to replace it when a full
charge lasts a significantly shorter time than previously. Note that the service life varies with usage conditions

Follow the replacement procedure given below also when it is necessary to take the battery cartridge out of the
scanner due to any scanner trouble.

(1) Remove the screw that secures the battery cover.

(2) Open the battery cover gently that is connected with the cable.

Battery cove

Scanne

(3) Pull up the battery pull strap to take the battery cartridge out of the scanner.

(4) Disconnect the battery cable connector.

Note: When disconnecting the cable connector, be sure to hold the connector housings as shown below. Do not

pull the cables; doing so will result in broken wires.

(5) Connect a new battery cartridge to the battery cable connector.

Note: Do not peel off the protection film covering a battery cartridge.

(6) Insert the new battery cartridge into the scanner so that the battery pull strap is routed below the battery cartridge

as shown below.

(7) Route the cables into the space around the battery cartridge to prevent them from getting pinched between the

battery cover and the case, and then close the battery cover and secure it with the screw.

Note: After loading a new battery cartridge, be sure to charge it for at least two hours.
