Bluetooth® Wireless Communication Link

The scanner GT10Q-SB 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 communications 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.

vii

Care and Maintenance

Dust or dirt accumulating on the clear plate of the code reading window will affect reading performance. If you use
the scanner in dusty areas, therefore, periodically check the clear plate of the code reading window and clean it if
dusty.

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

soft one gently.

 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 requires scanning the "Start setting" and "Start operation" QR Code symbols given
in Section 13.2 with the procedure in Section 13.1. Using the scanner when the "End operation" is selected requires
scanning the "Start operation" QR Code symbol. Scanning those code symbols enables the Bluetooth



interface.

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

This scanner interprets the "End operation" QR Code symbol as a command to disable the Bluetooth



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



interface.

Note: When the scanner leaves the factory or it has scanned the "End operation" QR Code symbol, it cannot read
QR Code symbols except the "Start operation".

2

2.2 Establishing Bluetooth Wireless Link

After enabling the Bluetooth interface, establish a Bluetooth wireless link between the scanner and the BA10-RKU
communications adapter (or some other Bluetooth



equipment) using the following procedures.

The scanner can configure itself as both a slave (default) and master. To configure it as a slave, use the QR-coded
parameter menu or configuration software (ScannerSetting_2D)*; to configure it as a master, it is necessary to specify
the slave's Bluetooth

Tip: In addition to "As a master" and "As a slave" parameters, the configuration software provides a choice of "No
slave/master configuration change" (see page 56) that prevents the Bluetooth



address to the scanner.



wireless link from getting broken when

you change other parameters with the configuration software or batch-process QR Code symbols (see Chapter 4).

Scanner as Slave (default)

The scanner is a slave by default. This slave can establish a Bluetooth wireless link with the BA10-RKU
communications adapter (or some other Bluetooth



equipment) as a master without special communication

procedures.

(1) If the scanner is currently a master, use the scanner to read the "Configure as slave" QR Code symbol given in

Section 13.2 using the procedure in Section 13.1 to switch it to slave operation.

(2) Wait for the scanner to beep three times, press the scanner's trigger switch, and wait approximately two minutes

(default) for the master device to connect to this slave.



(3) Configure the communications adapter (or some other Bluetooth

scanner's Bluetooth

For the communications adapter, use the configuration software (BASetting). (For other Bluetooth

equipment) as a master and specify the



equipment,

use the procedures set forth in the user's manual.)



(4) Wait for the communications adapter (or some other Bluetooth

equipment) to establish a Bluetooth wireless

link with the scanner as a slave.

(5) Wait for the scanner to beep twice and the indicator LED to turn green (for 0.5 second), indicating a successful

connection.

Note: If the master device cannot discover the scanner available in the vicinity, set the longer inquiry time and let
the master device search it again.

Note: In response to the connection request from the master device, the scanner unconditionally connects to it. No
Bluetooth



passkey is required to specify.

* The configuration software (ScannerSetting_2D) is available as free downloads from our website at

http://www.denso-wave.com/

.

Scanner as Master

To configure the scanner as a master and the communications adapter (or some other Bluetooth equipment) as a slave,
follow the sample procedures given below and specify the slave's Bluetooth



address to the scanner. The connection

ratio of the scanner and slave device should be 1:1.

Using the communications adapter (example)

2.3 Breaking Bluetooth Wireless Links

Holding down the magic key for approx. 2 seconds or scanning the "Break Bluetooth wireless link" QR Code symbol
forcibly breaks the scanner's Bluetooth



wireless link. (The QR Code symbol is given in Section 3.2 and its procedure

in Section 3.1.)

Note: Breaking the Bluetooth wireless link does not disable the Bluetooth interface. To disable it, scan the "End
operation" QR Code symbol.

Note: In the data verification mode, the magic key is used to enter a master code, not used to break the Bluetooth
wireless link. To break the link, use the scanner to read the "Break Bluetooth wireless link" QR Code symbol given in
Section 13.2 using the procedure in Section 13.1.

Note that when the scanner, as a master, is searching for a connection target or it is, as a slave, waiting for a master to
connect, the magic key can break the Bluetooth



wireless link.

2.4 Reestablishing Bluetooth Wireless Links

When the scanner's Bluetooth wireless link has been broken by any of the following events, pressing the trigger
switch reestablishes the Bluetooth
master; the scanner as a master connects to a target slave.

- Scanning the "Break Bluetooth

- Pressing the magic key to break the Bluetooth

- Modifying the scanner configuration with the configuration software (ScannerSetting_2D)

- "Reconnect request" dialog displayed by the configuration software (ScannerSetting_2D)

Chapter 3 Scanning Codes

3.1 Before Use

Before the first use of the scanner or after leaving the scanner unused for a long time, be sure to charge the battery in
the scanner. For the charging procedure, see Chapter 10.

3.2 Scanning Operation

(1) Bring the reading window to a target code and press the trigger switch. The marker beam comes on, indicating the

scan range. Align the center of the marker beam with that of the target code.

(This step is not required in continuous reading modes 1, 2 and auto sensing mode.)

Code scanning range
indicated by the marker
beam

Indicator LED

Trigger switch

(2) Wait for the indicator LED to turn green, the beeper to sound and the vibrator to operate, indicating a successfully

read.

Note: The effective scan range is less than the marker beam range. The scan range is approx. 2.4" (6 cm) wide by 1.6" (4
cm) high when the scan distance is approx. 3.9" (10 cm).

Note: The marker beam should be used merely as a guide. It does not assure that a code within the marker beam range can
be read.

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

Note: The scanner can read codes omnidirectionally as long as a target code plus its margins are well within the field of

view.

Note: If the scanner fails to read due to specular effects or other factors, change the scan angle of the reading window or
the distance from the codes, and repeat the process. (Specular effects occur when the reflection of the light from the label
surface is too strong, such as when the reflecting surface is polished or covered with vinyl.)

 Scanning mode

Regular read mode Successful completion of read-in produces data transfer.

Data verification mode The scanner transfers only data that matches a predefined list of acceptable bar codes.

(Refer to Section 7.1 for details.)

7

 Switching to sleep mode for power saving

The scanner switches from standby to sleep mode to save power

when the trigger switch is off in the auto-off or
momentary switching mode or when the scanner is on standby in the alternate switching mode. (The scanner does not
switch to the sleep mode in the continuous reading mode 1 or 2 or in the auto sensing mode.)

The transition period from standby to sleep mode is 30 seconds in the ordinary current mode

. In the power saving
mode (default), the scanner immediately switches to sleep mode. Only the configuration software
(ScannerSetting_2D) provides a choice of these two modes.

The scanner in sleep mode takes more time (approx. 100 ms) to start and complete a sequence of scanning operation
than the one on standby.

 Auto power-off

If the scanner remains unused for the specified timeout period, it automatically shuts itself down. The timeout period
can be specified within the range from 5 to 640 minutes in 5-minute increments by using the configuration software
(ScannerSetting_2D). The configuration software can also disable this auto power-off feature.

®

 Scanning with Bluetooth

The scanner can read codes even with the Bluetooth

wireless link broken

®

wireless link being broken. Use this scanning way when
scanning codes is required but data transfer is not, for instance, when the scanner itself checks the verification result
(with the scan lock enabled as described in Section 7.1) without transferring it to the host computer.

Chapter 4 Customizing the Scanner

You can customize the scanner by modifying communications, code type, and other scanner parameters with the
QR-coded parameter menu
even when the power is off.

or the configuration software ScannerSetting_2D*. These parameters retain their settings

TIP: The scanner can hold not only its own parameter settings but also communications adapter parameter settings in
its memory and customize the communications adapter via the Bluetooth
bar-coded parameter menus

available for scanners (Section 13.2) and communications adapters (Section 14.2).

(1) Scanning parameter setting QR Code symbols in the QR-coded parameter menu

by pressing the trigger switch.

(The QR-coded parameter menus for scanners and communications adapters are given in Chapters 13 and 14,

respectively.)

(2) Using the configuration software (ScannerSetting_2D)

* in your computer. It is recommended that the scanner

be configured as a master.

(This software also offers batch-process QR Code symbols for ready by scanners in the field.)

* The configuration software (ScannerSetting_2D) is available as free downloads from our website at

http://www.denso-wave.com/

.

Note: Customizing the scanner with the configuration software or batch-process QR Code symbols breaks the Bluetooth
wireless link, so it is necessary to establish the link again after customizing. To prevent the Bluetooth wireless link from
getting broken, select the "No slave/master configuration change" parameter for the item "Configure the scanner as master
or slave."

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

Note: When even the scanner is being charged or discharged, you can customize it with the configuration software except
when the "End operation" parameter is selected.

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. (Refer to Section 5.1.)

Software control: Instead of pressing the trigger switch, you send control commands from the host computer via the
RS-232C interface to ready the scanner for scanning or put the scanner on standby. (Refer to Section 5.3.)

5.1 Trigger Switch Control

Pressing the trigger switch turns on the illumination LEDs 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 QR-coded
parameter menu or the configuration software (ScannerSetting_2D).

(1) Auto-off mode

Holding down the trigger switch lights the illumination LEDs for a maximum of 5 seconds, during which the scanner
is ready to scan.

When a code is read successfully or approx. 5 seconds have elapsed, the illumination LEDs automatically go off and
the scanner switches to standby.

If the trigger switch is released within approx. 5 seconds, the scanner switches to standby.

(2) Momentary switching mode

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

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

(3) Alternate switching mode

Each time you press the trigger switch, the scanner toggles between the ready-to-scan and standby states.

(4) Continuous reading mode 1

Establishing the Bluetooth wireless link or selecting the "Scan w/ Bluetooth link broken" parameter immediately
turns on the illumination LEDs and readies the scanner for scanning. The scanner ignores all trigger switch input.

If the scanner receives the Z, READOFF or LOFF command, it switches to standby; if it receives the R, READON or
LON command, it becomes ready to scan.

You can select whether or not the scanner transmits the ERROR command when the scanner cannot complete
scanning and switches to standby, using the configuration software (ScannerSetting_2D).

(5) Continuous reading mode 2

This mode is functionally equivalent to the continuous reading mode 1, except that the scanner waits for a command
upon completion of scanning. To become ready to scan, the scanner should receive the Z, READOFF or LOFF
command to switch to standby and then receive the R, READON or LON command.

You can select whether or not the scanner transmits the ERROR command when the scanner cannot complete
scanning and switches to standby, using the configuration software (ScannerSetting_2D).

Note: When you are setting parameters using the QR-coded parameter menu, the scanner is always in the auto-off mode
regardless of the trigger switch operating mode selected.

Note: The trigger switch is disabled as long as the scan lock (refer to Chapter 7, Section 7.1.3) is in effect in the data
verification mode.

Note: Establishing the Bluetooth wireless link or selecting the "Scan w/ Bluetooth link broken" parameter enables the
trigger switch control.

10

5.2 Programmable Trigger Switch

The configuration software (ScannerSetting_2D) provides a choice of three functions each for the fully depressed and
halfway positions of the trigger switch.

Scan: The switch position turns on the marker beam and scans a code.

Marker: The switch position turns on the marker beam.

None: The switch position does nothing.

Note, however, that the setting for the halfway position overrides the one for the fully depressed position if it has a
higher priority--that is, appears earlier in the above list. Specifying "Scan" for the halfway position and "Marker" for
the fully depressed position, for example, produces scanning for both positions.

5.3 Software Control

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

Scanning control commands include R, READON, LON, Z, READOFF and LOFF and are restricted by the trigger
switch operating modes, as listed below.

5.4 Auto Sensing Mode--Automatic Detection of Labels

After establishing the Bluetooth wireless link or selecting the "Scan w/ Bluetooth link broken" parameter, in the
auto sensing mode, bringing a code label within the scan range of the reading window turns on the illumination LEDs
and starts the scanner reading the code. No trigger switch operation is required. Use this mode when the scanner is
stationary to a stand and a code label is moved.

The illumination LEDs come on when you bring a code label within the designated range or move a code label within
the same range. These LEDs go off when a code label is moved away from the range or stays within the range without
move for approx. 3 seconds.

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

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

Note: To enable the scanner to work properly in the auto sensing mode, an ambient illuminance of at least 500 lx is
required.

12

Chapter 6 Magic Key Control

Holding down the magic key for approx. 2 seconds breaks Bluetooth® wireless links. Note that, in the data verification
mode, it cannot break those links since the magic key is used to enter a master bar code.

The magic key can also act as an auxiliary key for scanning or data transfer. You can assign any of the following six
functions or no function at all to the magic key. Select the function that best meets your needs using the configuration
software (ScannerSetting_2D).

(1) Readable code switching function

Each time you press the magic key, the scanner switches between two readable codes selected in advance with the
configuration software (ScannerSetting_2D).

Using this function allows the scanner to also read codes that you have disabled for scanning.

Pressing the magic key five times within 2 seconds temporarily disables this function to allow the scanner to read
codes other than the two pre-selected codes. Pressing the magic key again re-enables this function.

(2) Data retransfer function

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, if you have turned off the power since the last read operation.

(3) Specific character transfer function

Pressing the magic key transfers a character string (max. 10 bytes) specified with the configuration software
(ScannerSetting_2D).

(4) Ready/standby switching function

When the trigger switch is in the continuous reading mode 1 or 2, pressing the magic key switches the scanner
between standby and ready-to-scan.

If the notification of a reading failure function is enabled, switching from ready to standby state before scanning is
completed will send the ERROR command to the host computer.

(5) Marker mode switching function

Pressing the magic key switches the marker mode between the "Always ON" and the current marker setting.

(6) Barcode reader mode switching function

Pressing the magic key switches between the normal reader mode and barcode reader mode (see Section 7.3)
regardless of the current barcode reader mode setting (enabled or disabled). In the barcode reader mode, the point scan
mode (see Section 7.4) becomes disabled, even if it has been enabled with the configuration software
(ScannerSetting_2D).

(7) No function (Disable)

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

Note: Establishing the Bluetooth wireless link or selecting the "Scan w/ Bluetooth link broken" parameter enables the
magic key control except for the data transfer function and specific character transfer function specified together with the
"Scan w/ Bluetooth link broken" parameter selected.

13

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 the auto-off mode, for example, the ready/standby switching function is ignored.

Chapter 7 Scanning Functions

7.1 Data Verification Mode

The data verification mode verifies the code data read against the master data stored in the scanner and reports the
match status with data output. You can set the verification parameters with the configuration software
(ScannerSetting_2D).

There are two ways to enter master data--"Preset master entry" and "Scanning master entry." The former refers to
entry that you make with the configuration software (ScannerSetting_2D) in advance; the latter can be made by
scanning a code label.

7.1.1 Verification setup procedure

(1) Preset master entry

Enter the code type and data to be used for verification using the configuration software (ScannerSetting_2D). Up to
99 digits can be entered. The entered data will be sent to the host computer when you scan the "Output master data
code" given on page 17.

The entered master data will be preserved even if the scanner is turned off. To clear it, first clear the entered master
data in the host computer with the configuration software (ScannerSetting_2D) and then send the new setting data to
the scanner.

(2) Scanning master entry

Scan a code to be entered as master data in the following way:

1) Place the scanner in the data verification mode and hold down the magic key for approx. 2 seconds. (The indicator
LED should light in green.)

2) With the magic key held down, press the trigger switch to read the master code to be entered. (The scanner
operates in the trigger switch operating mode currently set.)

During the entry operation above, if the master data has fewer characters than specified (e.g., less than the specified
verification start position), the entry operation aborts with an error.

Even if "Preset master entry" has been made, you can make "Scanning master entry." If both "Preset master entry" and
"Scanning master entry" have been made, the number of characters to be verified that has been set with the "Preset
master entry" and the master data that has been set with the "Scanning master entry" will be valid.

The entered data will be sent to the host computer when you scan the "Output master data code" given on page 17.

Note: The entered master data will be cleared when:

- Customizing the scanner by modifying the parameters with the configuration software (ScannerSetting_2D) or
batch-process QR Code symbols.

- Reverting to the factory defaults by using the QR-coded parameter menu.

Note: You can enter a code as master data any number of times as long as the indicator LED is lit in green by pressing the
magic key. The code that is read last becomes the final master data.

Note: If no master data has been entered by either the preset master entry or scanning master entry, the indicator LED
flashes in red, during which it is impossible to scan codes.

15

7.1.2 Specifying a verification object

You can specify two types of verification objects--data string and data block. For data string verification, you specify
the verification start position and the number of characters to verify. For data block verification, you specify one of
the data blocks delimited by commas in the CSV format.

(1) Data string verification

The scanner verifies data specified by the verification start position and the number of characters to verify against the
master data entered in the scanner, and then it outputs the verification result.

The verification start position should be within the range of 1 to 999, and the number of characters to verify, within
the range of 1 to 99.

In any of the following cases, the verification results in a mismatch:

1) The verification data in the specified position does not match the master data.

2) The code type which the verification data belongs to is different from the one that the master data belongs to (see
the note below).

3) All data specified is not included or no data is included within the specified range.

(Examples)

Master data
entered

345 3 3 00345 Match

345 3 3 00345678 Match

(2) Data block verification

If data is saved in the comma-delimited CSV format, the scanner verifies data in the specified data block against the
master data entered in the scanner, and then outputs the verification result.

The data block position should be within the range of 1 to 99.

In any of the following cases, the verification results in a mismatch:

1) The verification data in the specified block does not match the master data.

2) The code type which the verification data belongs to is different from the one that the master data belongs to (see
the note below).

3) All data specified is not included or no data is included within the specified block.

4) The data block to verify exceeds 99 characters in length

(Examples)

Master data
entered

Position of data block

Data block read
(Verification object)

Result

345 3 0,12,345,6789 Match

345 3 0,12,346,6789 Mismatch

345 3 0,12,3456,6789 Mismatch

345 3 0,12,34,6789 Mismatch

345 3 0,12 Mismatch

Note: Whether the code ID mark is matched or not is determined not by the combination of code ID marks Type 1 and
Type 2 but by Type 1 only (refer to Chapter 9, Section 9.2).

16

7.1.3 Verification result output

(1) Report of match/mismatch status

You can select any of the following report types using the configuration software (ScannerSetting_2D). Selecting
"Disable transmission" reports nothing.

Setting If there is a match: If there is a mismatch:

1 Disable transmission. Disable transmission.

2 Enable code data transmission. Disable transmission.

3 Enable code data transmission. Enable NG transmission.

4 Enable OK transmission. Enable NG transmission.

(2) Beeper, indicator LED and vibrator

You can check whether the verification result is a match or mismatch with the beeper, indicator LED and vibrator.

When the beeper, indicator LED and vibrator are enabled, they act as listed below.

Beeper Indicator LED

"OK" vibrations "NG" vibrations

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.

Vibrator

(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 configuration software (ScannerSetting_2D).

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 releases the scan lock.

Note: In the data verification mode, the magic key is used to enter a master bar code, not used to break the Bluetooth
wireless link. To break the link, scan the "Break Bluetooth wireless link" QR Code symbol. Note that when the scanner,
as a master, is searching for a connection target or it is, as a slave, waiting for a master to connect, the magic key can
break the Bluetooth wireless link. See Section 2.3 for details.

Note: In any of the following cases, the scan lock is disabled regardless of the current setting.

- When the "End operation" parameter is selected

- When the Bluetooth wireless link is broken, except when the "Scan w/ Bluetooth wireless link broken" parameter is
selected

Note: Breaking and connecting the Bluetooth wireless link does not release the scan lock. Clearing the master bar code
data stored releases the scan lock.

7.2 Editing Data

The scanner can edit and output code data read in the "data extraction mode" or "delimited-text format conversion
mode" that is selected in the configuration software (ScannerSetting_2D). The default is "No editing."

Note: In the case of multi-line bar codes, unless all code ID marks read are matched, the data editing process will
result in an error regardless of whether or not the data read contains any error. Whether the code ID mark is matched is
determined not by the combination of code ID marks Type 1 and Type 2 but by Type 1 only (refer to Chapter 9,
Section 9.2).

7.2.1 Data extraction mode

This mode offers three extraction choices--"data string," "data block" and "AI (Application Identifier)-prefixed string"
extractions from code data read and then outputs it.

The "data block" extraction is possible only when code data is in the comma-delimited CSV format. The "AI-prefixed
string" extraction is available for EAN-128, RSS, and EAN.UCC Composite symbols (excluding linear components in
a UPC/EAN Composite symbol).

7.2.1.1 Extracting a data string

The scanner extracts a data string specified by the "Extraction start position" and "Extraction end position" from a
code specified by the "Code type" and then outputs it in the data transmission format selected in the scanner (see
Chapter 9, Section 9.2). The extraction conditions and extraction start and end positions are listed below.

7.2.1.3 Extracting AI (Application Identifier)-prefixed strings

If the scanner reads an EAN-128, RSS, or EAN.UCC Composite symbol (excluding linear components in a UPC/EAN
Composite symbol), it edits the data according to AIs and outputs it in the data transmission format selected in the
scanner (see Chapter 9, Section 9.2).

The "AI-prefixed string" extraction is available in two modes--AI-delimited mode and AI parenthesizing mode. AIs to
be used for data editing are listed in (3) AI table

later.

(1) AI-delimited mode

In this mode, the scanner extracts strings prefixed with AIs specified (up to three types of AIs) and separates them
with the specified delimiters (selectable from headers/terminators, commas and tabs) instead of AIs to output them.

 Extraction conditions

Extraction conditions Choices

"Data transfer regardless of error result" Permit/Prohibit

If the scanner fails to extract an AI-prefixed string when the "Data transfer regardless of error result" is permitted, it
outputs the data read as is without editing.

 Delimiters

Delimiters can be any of the following three--header/terminator, comma and tab.

  Header/terminator

Specifying a header/terminator as delimiters 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 of each element string edited.

Example

Data read: (01)94901234567894(11)030808(13)030810

Code ID mark: Disable, Header: STX, Terminator: ETX, Transmission of the number of digits: Enable,

  Comma

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

A header and terminator are added to the full string. None of a prefix, suffix, the number of digits, and code ID

mark is added even if their transmissions are enabled.

Example

Data read: (01)94901234567894(11)030808(13)030810

  Tab (ASCII 09H (HT))

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

A header and terminator are added to the full string. None of a prefix, suffix, the number of digits, and code ID

mark is added even if their transmissions are enabled.

Example

Data read: (01)94901234567894(11)030808(13)030810

(Note 1) Element strings will be output in the order of AIs specified.

(Note 2) If data read contains two or more element strings prefixed with the same AI, those element strings will be output in

the order arranged in that data read.

(Note 3) If data read does not contain a string prefixed with the specified AI or it contains such data but its number of digits

is more or less than the one defined for that AI, an error will result when the "Data transfer regardless of error
result" is prohibited.

In this mode, the scanner parenthesizes AIs contained in data read and outputs the edited data according to the
extraction conditions.

Note: In the case of multi-line bar codes, unless all code ID marks read are matched, the data editing process will
result in an error regardless of whether or not the data read contains any error. Whether the code ID mark is matched is
determined not by the combination of code ID marks Type 1 and Type 2 but by Type 1 only (refer to Chapter 9,
Section 9.2).

7.3 Barcode Reader Mode

The barcode reader mode limits the vertical readable area to 15% at the center portion, as shown below, and the skew
angle within the range of 6°   -6°.

In this mode, the scanning time required is shorter than that in the normal reader mode.

However, the scanner cannot read 2D codes or multi-line bar codes. The barcode reader mode and the point scan mode
(see Section 7.4) cannot be enabled concurrently. The one set last will be enabled.

Readable area in the normal reader mode

Readable area in the barcode reader mode
(hatched section)

7.4 Point Scan Mode

In the point scan mode, you can aim at a target code by matching up the cross provided at the center of the marker
beam with that code.

If there is no code at that cross or the scanner cannot detect the marker beam due to high levels of ambient lighting,
the scanner cannot read anything. The point scan mode takes effect only when the marker beam is permitted to light.

The point scan mode and the barcode reader mode (see Section 7.3) cannot be enabled concurrently. The one set last
will be enabled.

7.5 Scanning a Mirror Image 2D Code

If you enable the mirror image scanning with the QR-coded parameter menu or the configuration software
(ScannerSetting_2D), the scanner can scan a mirror image 2D code as well as a normal image. Note that when the
mirror image scanning is enabled, the time required for scanning may increase.

7.6 Scanning a Black-and-White Inverted Code

The scanner usually scans a black-and-white normal code (black cells/bars on a white background). You can switch
the scanner to scan a black-and-white inverted code (white cells/bars on a black background) or to scan both types of
codes while automatically identifying them, using the QR-coded parameter menu or the configuration software
(ScannerSetting_2D).

Note that the automatic detection scanning may take more time than normal code or inverted code scanning.

A black-and-white inverted code requires a black quiet zone of more than the number of cells defined in the code
specifications.

32

7.7 Scanning Split QR Code Symbols

QR Code symbology can split data into a maximum of 16 blocks and encode each of them into a split QR Code
symbol (model 1 or 2). Split QR Code scanning is possible only with the same QR Code model.

The scanner can scan split QR Code symbols and restore them to the original data string in edit mode, batch edit mode,
and non-edit mode, which you can select using the QR-coded parameter menu.

Edit mode

The scanner accumulates and edits split QR Code symbols read and then sends the edited data to the host computer. If
the total data volume of split QR Code symbols exceeds 8 kilobytes, a read error will result and the accumulated data
will be discarded.

Batch edit mode

If all the split QR Code symbols to scan lie within the readable area, the scanner reads them all once and then edits
and sends them to the host computer.

Non-edit mode

Each time a single split QR Code symbol is read, the scanner sends the data read to the host computer.

When scanning split QR Code symbols, the scanner beeps in a different way from usual. That is, when the scanner
reads the first split code symbol, it beeps twice and enters the split code scanning mode. When the scanner completes
the sequence of split code scanning, it beeps three times.

Note: If you scan any non-split QR Code symbol or a code other than a QR Code symbol midway through a sequence of
split QR Code scanning, the scanner cancels the split code scanning, discards the split QR Code data already scanned, and
sends the code data scanned last.

Note: If the scanner switches to standby in auto-off mode (after approx. 5 seconds of holding down the trigger switch or
by releasing the trigger switch within 5 seconds) or the split code scanning interval exceeds approx. 3 seconds, then the
scanner discards the data scanned and cancels the split code scanning sequence.

Note: If you scan a split code symbol of any other QR Code before completion of the current scanning sequence, the
scanner discards the data already scanned and starts a new scanning sequence.

33

7.8 Multi-line Barcode Scanning

The scanner can scan up to 3 lines of bar codes in the readable area at any one time. You can specify the number of
lines to scan, the data output order and output format using the configuration software (ScannerS etting_2D).

7.8.1 Number of lines

The number of lines allowed for multi-line barcode scanning is 2 or 3. This setting is essential.

7.8.2 Data output order

You can specify the data output order by designating code types*

3

scan*

.

1

Code types should be selected from readable bar codes you enable. This setting is essential.

*

2

*

Up to two heading characters can be specified. If a question mark (?) is specified, it acts as a wild card. This setting

can be omitted.

3

*

The number of digits to scan varies depending upon the code type. This setting is essential.

7.8.3 Output format

You may select either the header/terminator- or comma-delimited output format.

1

, heading characters*2, or the number of digits to

(1) Header/terminator-delimited output format

Specifying this format allows the scanner to output multiple lines of barcode data in succession in the data
transmission format selected (see Section 9.2) so that the headers and terminators act as delimiters. For UPC and EAN
codes, the number of digits will be omitted.

(2) Comma-delim ited output form at

Specifying this format allows the scanner to output multiple lines of barcode data delimited with commas in the data
transmission format selected (see Section 9.2). Note that the scanner outputs the code ID mark specified for the first
line barcode and the number of digits including the delimiter commas. The number of digits will not be omitted even
for UPC and EAN codes.

Note 1: Bar code types specified for multi-line barcode scanning cannot be read individually.
Note 2: In the point scan mode or barcode reader mode, the scanning conditions specified for multi-line barcode

scanning are invalid so that the scanner scans codes individually.

Note 3: The scanner cannot read multi-line barcodes of UPC/EAN with add-on.
Note 4: If linear components in a UPC/EAN Composite symbol are specified for multi-line barcode scanning, all

EAN.UCC Composite symbols including the specified linear components cannot be read.

7.9 Scanning an SQRC (Security QR Code) Symbol

SQRC is a QR code with scanning restrictions. SQRC comes in the form of disclosed and undisclosed data. Scanning
of undisclosed data is possible only if the encryption key set in the scanner matches. In order to perform SQRC
scanning, it is necessary to either permit scanning of SQRC only, or to permit scanning of SQRC and QR codes.

With the SQRC scanning enabled, the parameters for “Encryption key mismatch” and “Encryption key match” can be
selected with the configuration software.

Note: Encryption key setting is necessary in order to perform SQRC scanning. In order to set an encryption key(s),

dedicated SQRC scan setting software (SQRC Setting) is required.

- a master code has the wrong number of digits during entry of master data,

- a code other than a parameter setting code is read from the QR-coded parameter menu during a parameter setting

sequence

- a transmission error or timeout has occurred during communication with the configuration software

(ScannerSetting_2D),

- a communications error has occurred,

- an invalid control command is received,

- the previously sent data is not available at the time of data retransfer (using the magic key),

®

- a Bluetooth

wireless link is broken,

- transfer of communications adapter parameter settings is ended normally (1 beep) or abnormally (3 beeps), or

- the scanner has failed to save the parameter settings entered with the QR-coded parameter menu or the configuration

software.

- the encryption key of data read does not match the one configured in the scanner in SQRC scanning (when the "data

transmission after mismatch of encryption key" is disabled).

You can disable the beeper using the QR-coded parameter menu or configuration software (ScannerSetting_2D). In
any of the following cases, however, the beeper sounds regardless of that beeper setting:

- when the scanner is being customized with the QR-coded parameter menu,

- when the scanner receives a beeper-ON command from the host computer,

- when the configuration software (ScannerSetting_2D) starts up or accepts any new setting,

- when a batch-process QR Code symbol is read,

- when the Bluetooth wireless link is established or broken,

- when the charge of the battery cartridge has lowered,

- when the scanner has failed to save the parameter settings, or

35

(2) Adjusting the beeper volume

You can adjust the beeper volume to three levels--high, medium and low, using the QR-coded parameter menu or
configuration software (ScannerSetting_2D).

Note: Enabling the Bluetooth interface with the "Start operation" QR Code symbol allows the beeper volume
adjustment.

Each time the "Beeper volume" QR Code symbol is read, the beeper volume cycles as shown below. The factory
default is High.

High

Medium Low

Turning the scanner power off does not affect this setting.

8.3 Vibrator

The QR-coded parameter menu and configuration software (ScannerSetting_2D) 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 code data just read

- In data verification mode, a match between the code data just read and a master data entry

- In data verification mode, successful entry of master data

- Scanning of a split QR Code symbol

- In batch edit mode, successful transmission of a sequence of split QR Code symbols

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

- Scanning of "Start setting," "End setting," or parameter setting code from the QR-coded parameter menu (given in

Chapters 13 and 14)

- Start or end of parameter setting with the configuration software (ScannerSetting_2D)

- Scanning of a batch-process QR Code symbol generated with the configuration software (ScannerSetting_2D)

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

- Wrong number of digits in data for new master data entry

- In data verification mode, a mismatch between the code data just read and a master data entry

- In edit mode, a sequence of split QR Code symbols containing over 8 kilobytes of data

- Detection of a code other than a parameter setting one during a parameter setting sequence using the QR-coded

parameter menu

- No ACK response received in the ACK/NAK mode

- Invalid control command (See Appendix 2)

- No data to resend (See the data retransfer function in Chapter 6)

- Timeout or other communications error during parameter setting with the configuration software

(ScannerSetting_2D)

- Depression of the magic key that has been disabled by a control command (refer to Appendix 2) specifying any

trigger switch operating mode other than continuous reading modes 1 and 2 even though the ready/standby
switching function has been assigned to the magic key

Note: It is recommended that the vibrator be disabled when the scanner is stationary to a stand.

38

8.4 Marker Beam

The red marker beam (semiconductor laser) comes on to indicate the scan area as a guide.

You can select any of the following marker beam modes--normal marker mode, marker-OFF mode and marker-ON
mode by using the QR-coded parameter menu or the configuration software (ScannerSetting_2D).

8.4.1 Normal marker mode

The following description assumes that "Marker" is specified for the halfway position of the trigger switch and "Scan"
for the fully depressed position.

When the trigger switch is in auto-off mode:

Holding down the trigger switch halfway turns on the marker beam for approx. 30 seconds. When the scanner is ready
to scan (that is, within approx. 5 seconds from the full depression of the trigger switch or until completion of reading
from that), the marker beam remains on. If you release the trigger switch when the scanner is ready, the marker beam
will go off.

When the trigger switch is in momentary switching mode or alternate switching mode:

In the momentary switching mode, holding down the trigger switch halfway turns on the marker beam for a maximum
of 30 seconds.

When the scanner is ready to scan (that is, while the trigger switch is fully held down in the momentary switching
mode or when the scanner is ready to scan in the alternate switching mode), the marker beam remains on. When the
scanner is on standby (that is, the trigger switch is released in the momentary switching mode or when the scanner is
on standby in the alternate switching mode), the marker beam will go off.

When the trigger switch is in continuous reading mode 1 or 2:

Turning the scanner on activates the marker and keeps it on.

If the scanner receives the Z, READOFF or LOFF command, it turns off the marker beam; if it receives the R,
READON or LON command, it keeps the marker beam on.

When the trigger switch is in auto sensing mode

When the scanner senses a code coming into the readable area and becomes ready to scan, it automatically turns on the
marker beam. After approx. 3 seconds from completion of scanning or if scanning is not completed within approx. 3
seconds, the scanner switches to standby and turns off the marker beam.

8.4.2 Marker-OFF mode

The marker beam will not come on under any conditions.

8.4.3 Marker-ON mode

When the scanner switches to standby, the marker beam is turned on for approx. 30 seconds.

When it is ready to scan, the marker beam remains on.

Chapter 9 Communication

9.1 Bluetooth Interface

The QR-coded parameter menu and the configuration software (ScannerSetting_2D) provide a choice of various
communications conditions. Under the communications conditions you choose, code data read can be transferred to
the external equipment or computer.

(1) Communications protocol

You can select either non-acknowledge mode or ACK/NAK mode.

Non-acknowledge mode (default)

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

ACK/NAK mode

The scanner transfers 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_2D) only provides ACK/NAK timeout
settings from 100 ms to 9.9 s in 100 ms increments.

ACK: Normal end
NAK: Retransfer

(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



wireless link has been broken.



(3) Automatic disconnection of Bluetooth



If the Bluetooth
Bluetooth



wireless link.

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_2D).

(1) Header/Terminator

The following choices are available.

Header: None (default) or STX
Terminator: CR (default), LF, CR/LF or ETX

For details, refer to Chapter 12.

(2) Prefix/Suffix

A prefix or suffix consists of up to eight ASCII characters (00h to FFh). You can set a prefix or suffix with the
configuration software (ScannerSetting_2D). (Default: No prefix or suffix)

(3) BCC

The Block Character Check (BCC) exclusive-ORs all bits at the same bit level in characters following the header and
preceding the terminator in a transmission block to generate a horizontal parity byte to be transferred in a binary code.
The BCC can be enabled or disabled. If no header is prefixed, no BCC will be transferred.

41

(4) Code ID mark

This optional field specifies the code system. It offers four combinations with two code ID marks (Type 1 and Type 2)

 Important notes on care and handling

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

- Ambient temperature of 10 to 40C

- 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.

 Do not subject the charger to rapid temperature changes. The charger may not work normally.

48

 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

orange charge LED flashes and the 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.

 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 charger's orange charge LED goes off and the scanner's indicator LED turns orange, indicating the start of

discharging.

When discharging is complete, approximately 3 hours later (if the battery was fully charged), charging

10.2 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 cover

Scanner

(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 in 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 2.5 hours.

Chapter 11 Image Capturing

11.1 Outline

The scanner supports image capturing that allows you to capture a graphic as a bitmap (BMP) or JPEG image and
output it to the host computer.

The video mode can be selected from standard VGA, 1/4 VGA and 1/16 VGA. If you select 1/4 VGA or 1/16 VGA,
select also the output image area--the full image area or the center portion of the image area. When the full image area
is selected, the scanner thins out the resolution of the full image area by skipping every other pixel so that the image
quality becomes low; when the center portion is selected, the scanner extracts the center portion of the image area so
that the visual area becomes smaller but the image quality does not change.

The scanner can also output a thumbnail to help you aim at a target. The thumbnail images can be saved only as a
BMP image in 1/64 VGA.

You can select the output format, video mode, output image area and whether or not to use a thumbnail by modifying
the parameters of the IMAGEOUT command.

n: Image output area

F Full image area

C Center portion of the image area

o: Thumbnail

0 Disable thumbnail transmission

(5) Image capturing operation

1) Upon receipt of an IMAGEOUT command, the scanner captures an image, beeps three times, and switches to the
image transmission mode (Xmodem 1K protocol).

2) When the thumbnail is enabled:

The scanner transmits a thumbnail (BMP file in 1/64 VGA) repeatedly.
Pressing the trigger switch causes the scanner to beep once, capture an image, and start transmission (Xmodem 1K

protocol).

When the thumbnail is disabled:
The scanner immediately captures an image and transmits it in the format specified by IMAGEOUT parameters

(Xmodem 1K protocol).

3) Upon completion of transmission, the scanner beeps once and exits the image transmission mode.

(6) Notes

 Image transmission can only be command-controlled; it cannot be started by the QR-coded parameter menu.
 When the scanner is in the image transmission mode, it cannot scan bar codes or 2D codes. The protocol is fixed to

the Xmodem 1K.

 Parameters of the IMAGEOUT command should be uppercase or numerical ASCII characters.
 Transmission condition settings such as header, terminator and transmission speed for the image transmission are

the same as those for ordinary commands.

 Upon completion of image transmission, the scanner returns to the normal communications protocol

(non-acknowledge mode or ACK/NAK mode).

 In a JPEG file format, images are compression-converted, so the image quality may be lower.

(7) Image transmission time required (Typical)

The table below lists the typical image transmission time required from image capturing to conversion and
transmission under the following conditions:

Communications adapter BA10-RKU using the RS-232C interface
Communications protocol: Xmodem 1K
Transmission speed: 115200 bps

However, this may vary according to the Bluetooth

Standard VGA JPEG 25 KB* 7.6 sec.

In a JPEG file format, images will be compression-converted, so the file size may vary, depending on images

scanned (approx. 10 to 40 KB, normally 25 KB). No compression ratio can be specified.

Problem 1: Low reading efficiency.

Probable cause What to do:

 A target code is not within the scan range of the

reading window.

 The code may be smeared.  Wipe off the dirt from the code.

 The code may be blurred.  Use a code clearly printed.

 Bring a code within the scan range.

(See Chapter 3.)

Problem 2: Cannot read 2D codes or bar codes.

Probable cause What to do:

 The type of the code to scan has not been set as a

readable code.

 The scanned bar code contains no check digit,

while the "Enable, with a check digit" parameter is

Appendix 2 Control Commands

Control commands refer to commands that are exchanged between the host computer and the scanner via the
communications line.

Some of the control commands that the host computer issues are functionally equivalent to some parameters that can
be set with the QR-coded parameter menu (refer to Chapter 12). Control command settings have priority over settings
made with the QR-coded parameter menu.

Note that turning off the scanner will clear control command settings so that settings made with the QR-coded
parameter menu will take effect.

If commands other than ones listed below are sent to the scanner, the scanner operation is not assured.

Sound the beeper

Upon receipt of the Z, READOFF or LOFF command, the scanner
switches to standby as long as the trigger switch control is set to
continuous reading mode 1 or 2.

Ready to scan

Upon receipt of the R, READON or LON command, the scanner
becomes ready to scan as long as the trigger switch control is set to
continuous reading mode 1 or 2.

Within 100 ms from the receipt of any of B1, B2 and B3 commands,
the scanner beeps for the period specified below.

B1: Beep for approx. 80 ms
B2: Beep for approx. 120 ms
B3: Beep for approx. 240 ms

Even if the beeping is prohibited or the scanner is on standby, the
beeper will be able to sound.

Request for software version

<Response from the scanner> Ver.n.nn
where n.nn is version number (Ex. Ver.1.00)

Request for the parameter setting version

This command checks the version of the parameter settings made
in the scanner when the scanner is linked with the configuration
software (ScannerSetting_2D).

<Response from the scanner> Ver.n.nn.mm
where n.nn.mm is version number (Ex. Ver.1.00.00)
and mm is parameter setting version.

Scanning failure

When the scanner (which is ready to scan) cannot complete
scanning and switches to standby, it sends the ERROR command
as long as the trigger switch control is set to continuous reading
mode 1 or 2. Whether or not to send this command can be
selected.

Verification match

OK

If code data scanned matches master data in data verification
mode, the scanner sends this command as long as the OK
transmission is enabled for a match.

Verification mismatch

NG

If code data scanned does not match master data in data
verification mode, the scanner sends this command as long as the
NG transmission is enabled for a mismatch.

Capture image

IMAGEOUT

Refer to Chapter 11 for details.

(Note 1) If the scanner receives the R command twice with the reading window being applied to a code (for example,
it receives the R command, sends the code data read, and receives the Z and R commands), it will send even the same
code data twice. This is because the Z command cancels the duplication prevention processing.

In split QR Code scanning operation, if the scanner receives the Z command and switches to standby before scanning
a set of split QR Code symbols, the duplication prevention processing will be canceled. The code data that has been
read halfway will be discarded.

The READOFF and LOFF commands produce the same result as the Z command, the READON and LON commands,
the same result as the R command.

(Note 2) When the scanner is on standby, pressing the trigger switch may light the LEDs momentarily, but the scanner
cannot scan codes.

(Note 3) After receipt of one of the B1 through B3, LB, LG, LR and VO command, the scanner may need a maximum
of 100 ms to execute the command.
