Chapter 3 Reading Bar Codes

(1) Press the trigger switch to turn on the illumination LED and prepare the scanner for reading.

Note: This step is not required for the continuous reading and auto sensing modes (see Section 5.3).

(2) Align the scanner over the center of the target bar code so that the illumination longitudinally scans the center of

the bar code.

Scan distance GT10B-SM/GT11B-SM: 7 cm (2.76")

GT10B-LM: 18 cm (7.09")

Indicator LED

Illumination

Effective scan range

Trigger switch

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

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-SM/GT11B-SM: approximately 10 cm (3.94") for a scan distance of 7 cm (2.76") GT10B-LM: 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.

 Scanning modes

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 Chapter 7 for details.)

 Speed-/depth-priority scanning

Speed-

priority The scanner gives priority to reducing the time spent decoding bar code data.

Depth-priority The scanner gives priority to expanding the scan range.

For details, refer to Appendix 1.

Page 15

 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.

Page 16

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.

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 RS-232C 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 (ScannerSetting)), 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

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

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: When you are setting parameters using the bar-coded parameter menu, the scanner is always in the

momentary switching mode 1 regardless of the trigger switch operating mode selected.

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.

switching mode 1 (Factory default)

switching mode 2

Page 18

5.2 Software Control

You can control the scanner by sending scanning control commands from the host computer via the RS-232C interface, 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.

Each of these commands should be enclosed with a header and terminator for transmission according to the communications conditions of the scanner.

Note: When the scanner is ready to scan with an R, READON or LON command, pressing the trigger switch cancels 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 auto sensing mode, bringing a bar 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. 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: 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-SM/GT11B-SM: Scan distance of approx. 21 cm (8.27") GT10B-LM: 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.

Page 21

Chapter 6 Magic Key Control

The magic key can 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 alternately turns the illumination LED on and off. Note, however, that turning on the LED does not make the scanner ready to scan. That requires pressing the trigger switch.

The scanner automatically turns off the illumination LED after approximately 3 minutes without detecting completion of a scanning operation.

The scanner ignores magic key input if the trigger switch operating mode is continuous read or auto sensing mode.

Completion of scanning

The illumination LED comes on.

Press the magic key.

Press the trigger switch.

(2) Data retransfer function

Pressing the magic key resends the preceding data. Note, however, that the scanner ignores such requests if there is no such data available--that is, 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).

(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.

Page 22

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.

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.

- 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.

Use the bar-coded parameter menu or configuration software.

7.1.2 Verification conditions

You can set a verification starting position and the number of characters to check.

- Starting position: The choices are 1st through 7th characters.

- Number of characters: The choices are 1 through 7 and everything following the starting position (up to a maximum of 32 characters).

For example, you can specify all characters or particular characters of bar code data to check as shown below.

Master data

Verification conditions: All characters to check

To check all characters as underlined at left, for example, set the following:

12345601

Bar code data readable

12345601

- Starting position: 1st character

- Number of characters: All characters

Max. 32 bytes of bar code data can be verified.

Master data

Verification conditions: Particular characters to check

To check particular characters as underlined at left, for example, set the following:

- Starting position: 3rd character

- Number of characters: 2 characters

5601

1234

7.1.3 Verification result output

(1) Report of match/mismatch status

You can select any of the following report types by using the bar-coded parameter menu or configuration software (ScannerSetting). Selecting "Disable transmission" reports nothing.

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

1 Disable bar code data transmission. Disable bar code data transmission.

2 Enable bar code data transmission. Disable bar code data transmission.

3 Enable bar 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

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.

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

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.

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

Page 29

(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 position [STX]K0834567890[ETX]

8th position [STX]K03890[ETX]

12th position 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 position 7th position [STX]K0534567[ETX]

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

10th position 11th position Error

8.2 Substituting Data

The scanner searches 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 position 456 A [STX]K01A[ETX]

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

9th position 890 XYZ Error

Page 30

(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 position 456 A [STX]K11A1234567890[ETX]

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

9th position 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 position 456 A [STX]K08123A7890[ETX]

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

9th position 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)

Split position Order of blocks Output data

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

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

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 that in each element string after editing.

(Example)

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 that in the full string after editing.

(Example)

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

AIs specified Output data

Page 32

(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

Page 33

(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 symbol.

The beeper can be disabled with the bar-coded parameter menu or configuration software (ScannerSetting); however, in some cases it sounds regardless of the beeper setting. For details, see the next page.

Note: Whether to enable or disable the beeper when the scanner reads RSS-14 Stacked or RSS-14 Stacked Omnidirectional symbols can be selected with the "Beeper when reading RSS-14 Stacked/RSS-14 Stacked Omnidirectional" bar code on the bar-coded parameter menu. The "Beeper" bar code for other bar codes has no effect on RSS-14 Stacked or RSS-14 Stacked Omnidirectional symbols.

A short beep (60, 80, or 120 ms selectable*

• a read of a bar code is successfully complete,

• master data registration is successfully complete in the verification setup procedure,

• bar code data read matches the master data in the data verification mode,

• data retransfer or specific character transfer with the magic key is complete,

• bar code data read in the specified data editing matches the editing conditions,

• the scanner has read a parameter setting bar code from the bar-coded parameter menu (given in Chapter 12), or

• the scanner has read the "DATA" bar code out of batch-process bar code symbols generated with the configuration

software.

A short beep of 60 ms when:

• the "Start setting" or "End setting" bar code is read from the bar-coded parameter menu (given in Chapter 12),

• the scanner has read the "START" or "END" bar code out of batch-process bar code symbols generated with the

configuration software,

• the configuration software starts up or accepts new setting, or

• the setting cannot be made because the "START" barcode from a batch-process barcode printed with a version of the

configuration software that does not match the scanner firmware was scanned.

) when:

A long beep of 180 ms when:

• parameter setting with the bar-coded parameter menu (given in Chapter 12) has failed.

A long beep of 480 ms when:

• a master bar code has the wrong number of digits during registration of master data,

• bar code data read does not match the master data in the data verification mode,

• bar code data read in the specified data editing does not match the editing conditions, resulting in no transfer,

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

(ScannerSetting),

• a communications error has occurred,

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

• three minutes have elapsed without scanning any parameter setting bar code from the bar-coded parameter menu

(given in Chapter 12) in the parameter setting procedure, or

• there is a possibility of an abnormal setting because the "END" barcode from a batch-process barcode printed with a

version of the configuration software that does not match the scanner firmware was scanned.

Page 39

One-shot beep*2 (40 ms) or intermittent beep*2 (at 60 ms intervals) when:

• either one of the 1st and 2nd rows of an RSS-14 Stacked or RSS-14 Stacked Omnidirectional symbol is read.

(Selecting an intermittent beep continues to beep as long as either one of the 1st and 2nd rows is left unread.)

(Upon completion of a read, the beeper emits a short beep*

The configuration software (ScannerSetting) provides three choices for the beeping time of a short beep--60, 80,

and 120 ms.

The bar-coded parameter menu or the configuration software (ScannerSetting) provides three choices for the

beeper type in reading RSS-14 Stacked and RSS-14 Stacked Omnidirectional symbols--One-shot beep, intermittent beep, and disabled.

The beeper can be disabled with the bar-coded parameter menu or configuration software (ScannerSetting). In any of the following cases, however, the beeper sounds regardless of the current beeper setting:

- When the scanner is being customized with the bar-coded parameter menu (Chapter 12).

- When the configuration software (ScannerSetting) starts up or accepts any new setting.

- When a batch-process bar code symbol is read.

- When the scanner has failed to save the parameter settings.

(2) Beeper volume

You can adjust the beeper volume to three level--High, medium and low, by using the bar-coded parameter menu or the configuration software (ScannerSetting). The factory default is High.

Each time the "Beeper volume" bar code is read, the beeper volume cycles as shown below.

High

Medium Low

Turning the scanner power off does not affect this setting..

(3) Beeper frequency

The configuration software (ScannerSetting) provides the following three choices for beeper frequency.

- "Low: 2.0 kHz"

- "Medium: 4.0 kHz"

- "High: 4.3 kHz"

The factory default is Medium (4.0 kHz).

Turning the scanner power off does not affect this setting.

(4) Trigger timing for the reading completion beeper and indicator LED

The configuration software (ScannerSetting) provides the following two trigger timing choices for the reading completion beeper and indicator LED (blue).

- "Before data transmission": The trigger timing is when bar code scanning has been completed, regardless of

whether the bar code data is normally transferred.

- "After data transmission": The trigger timing is when bar code scanning has been completed and the data has been

normally transferred.

The factory default is "Before data transmission."

Page 40

9.2 Indicator LED

The indicator LED lights or flashes in blue, green, red or orange to indicate the scanner status as described below.

Lights in blue when:

• a read of a bar code is successfully complete (Note that when the auto sensing mode switching function* is enabled,

the indicator LED lights in green.),

• the "Start setting" or "End setting" bar code symbol is read from the bar-coded parameter menu (given in Chapter

12),

• bar code data read matches the master data in the data verification mode,

• the auto sensing mode switching function* has switched the scanner to the currently selected trigger switch

operating mode, or

• switched to the trigger switch operating mode using the continuous reading mode switching function.

Lights in green when:

• a processing started by magic key control has completed,

• the scanner is ready to register master data in the data verification mode, or

• the scanner has read a bar code (except a master bar code for data verification) successfully with the auto sensing

mode switching function* being enabled.

Lights in red when:

• a check digit error has occurred,

• a bar code read has the wrong number of digits,

• bar code data read does not match the master data in the data verification mode,

• a master bar code read has the wrong number of digits in registration of master data,

• the data retransfer function failed to transfer data, or

• an editing error has occurred in the specified data editing, resulting in no transfer.

Flashes red when:

• no master data has been registered in the data verification mode.

Lights in orange when:

• the auto sensing mode switching function* has switched the scanner to the auto sensing mode, or

• switched to the continuous reading mode using the continuous reading mode switching function.

The indicator LED can be disabled with the bar-coded parameter menu or configuration software (ScannerSetting). In any of the following cases, however, the indicator LED comes on regardless of the current LED setting:

- When the scanner is being customized with the bar-coded parameter menu (Chapter 12).

- When the configuration software (ScannerSetting) starts up or accepts any new setting.

- When a batch-process bar code symbol is read.

- When a master bar code is being registered or the registration is complete.

- When any error has occurred during entry of a master bar code.

- When the verification result is a mismatch, the scanner is locked, or no master data has been registered in the data verification mode.

- When data retransfer with the magic key is complete or the previously sent data is not available at the time of data retransfer.

- When specific character transfer with the magic key is complete.

- When a hardware error has occurred.

- When the scanner has failed to save setting.

*For the auto sensing mode switching function assigned to the magic key, refer to Chapter 6.

Page 41

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 retransfer or specific character transfer function

• Scanning of "Start setting," "End setting," or parameter setting bar code from the bar-coded parameter menu (Chapter 12)

• 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

• No ACK response received in the ACK/NAK mode

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

Page 42

Chapter 10 Communication

10.1 RS-232C Interface

The scanner uses asynchronous data transmission and communicates with the connected host computer or external equipment via the RS-232C. You may set various communications conditions using the bar-coded parameter menu or configuration software (ScannerSetting). Bar code data read is transferred in the following format.

(1) Communications protocol

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

Non-acknowledge mode (default)

If the CTS signal is at a high level (Enable transmission), the scanner transmits bar code data read.

Note: The configuration software provides CTS timeout settings from 100 ms to 9.9 s in 0.1-second increments.

ACK/NAK mode

If the CTS signal is at high level (Enable transmission), the scanner transmits bar code data read. After that, the scanner waits for and then processes a response. If the response is an ACK, the scanner normally ends the transmission; if it is a NAK, the scanner transmits the bar code data again.

Note: The configuration software provides independent CTS timeout and response settings from 100 ms to 9.9 s in

0.1-second increments.

(2) RTS signal control protocol

You can select either the scanner ready mode or the data ready mode.

Scanner ready mode (default)

The RTS signal goes High and stays at a high level when the scanner is ready to communicate at power on. Make sure that the RTS signal is at a high level when transmitting a command from the host to the scanner.

Data ready mode

The RTS signal goes High before the scanner transmits data to the host and goes Low after the data transmission is completed.

Commands can be transmitted from the host to the scanner regardless of the level of the RTS signal.

However, there is a short time when commands cannot be transmitted to the scanner after power has been turned on.

(3) CTS signal monitor

The configuration software ScannerSetting provides two choices of the CTS signal monitor--enable or disable.

Enabling the CTS signal monitor does not output data when the RTS signal at the host is disabled.

(4) Transmission speed

There are six transmission speeds available, ranging from 1200 bps to 38,400 bps (default: 9600 bps).

(5) Characters

Characters that the scanner transfers are all ASCII codes. The frame format has the following parameters.

Data bits: 7 bits or 8 bits (default) Parity: Odd, Even, or None (default) Stop bits: 1 bit (default) or 2 bits

Page 43

10.2 PS/2 Keyboard Interface

This IBM PS/2 keyboard interface uses CMOS signal levels.

(1) Keyboard connection type

Select one of the following connection types according to your connection.

Select: When the scanner is connected:

"With external keyboard" (default) Between the desktop computer and its keyboard (excluding a numeric keypad).

"Without external keyboard" To a notebook computer (without connection to the keyboard).

"With external numeric keypad" Between the computer and its numeric keypad.

(2) Caps Lock/Num Lock states of host computer

Select Caps Lock ON or OFF and Num Lock ON or OFF to match the states of the connected keyboard. (Default: Caps Lock OFF, Num Lock ON)

(3) Keyboard type

Select the connected keyboard type. (Default: U.S. English)

(4) Data transmission interval

When the scanner reads a large volume of data in succession or it is connected to a computer whose processing speed is low, the computer may cause a data overflow and issues an alarm error. For the solution, there are seven choices for transmission interval, ranging from 1 ms to 100 ms. (Default: 1 ms)

10.3 Communication Format

Note: Selecting none for a terminator automatically uses a CR terminator in the control command transmission format.

PS/2 keyboard interface

Header: None (default), TAB, ESC, ENTER or others Terminator: None, TAB, ESC, ENTER (default) or others

Note: A user-defined header or terminator can be specified with the configuration software. It should be a maximum of four bytes long and consist of ASCII characters (00h to 7Fh and E7h to FDh).

Page 44

(2) Prefix/Suffix

Each of a prefix and suffix should be a maximum of eight bytes long and consist of ASCII characters (00h to FEh).

The default is no prefix/suffix. You can specify a prefix or suffix with the configuration software (ScannerSetting).

(3) Code ID mark

This optional field specifies a code ID mark identifying a bar code symbology. Six types of system-defined code ID marks are available as listed below. (Default: Type 1)

In addition, a user-defined code ID mark is also available for each of the bar code symbologies listed below. It should be a maximum of two bytes long and consist of ASCII characters (00h to FEh).

You can also select whether or not to transmit the code ID mark. (Default: No transmission)

Probable cause What to do:

• A target bar code is not within the scan range of

the reading window.

• The bar code may be smeared. • Wipe off the dirt from the bar code.

• The bar code may be blurred. • Use a bar code clearly printed.

• Bring a bar code within the scan range.

(See Chapter 3.)

Problem 2: Cannot read bar codes.

Probable cause W

• The type of the bar code to be scanned has not

been set as a readable code.

• The scanned bar code contains no check digit,

while the "Enable, with C/D" parameter is

• Set the bar code type as a readable code.
